Ucamco NV and Schmid Technology GmbH announce a joint project in digital imaging technology for the PCB market.

Under the terms of their co-operation agreement, Ucamco will provide the front-end drive software for the Schmid DoD 800 and DoD Pro Series inkjet printers. Schmid inkjet printers offer PCB fabricators the latest innovations in inkjet technology. Smaller feature definition and tighter registration tolerances combined with Schmid’s acknowledged expertise in ink formulation and dispersal offer a perfect solution for flexible and cost effective production of inner layers, soldermasks and component legends. Ucamco developed the front-end software to input image data from any CAM system and output drive data for the parallel print-heads and positioning data for the high-precision auto-alignment system.

Ucamco releases the calibr8tor 3000 laser photoplotter setting a new global benchmark for productivity and accuracy. The calibr8tor 3000 is targeted at the high-end PCB fabricators.
