Advanced Circuits Invests $1 Million in PCB Manufacturing Equipment to Continue ``On Time Delivery or It's Free'' Guarantee.AURORA Aurora, cities, United States Aurora (ərôr`ə, ô–). 1 City (1990 pop. 222,103), Adams and Arapahoe counties, N central Colo., a growing suburb on the east side of Denver; inc. 1903. , Colo. -- Leading Manufacturer Updates Equipment to Ensure Printed Circuit Board Quality and Turntime Advanced Circuits, a leader in quick-turn printed circuit board manufacturing, today announced the investment of more than $1 million in new equipment, confirming its commitment to consistently provide quality products on time to customers. "Although we already lead the industry in turn time and product quality, we are constantly improving our processes to give customers PCBs that are on time or early every time," said Dan Chouinard Chouinard may refer to: Surname
The new equipment purchases include: --Strip-Etch-Strip (SES) Line. This automated au·to·mate v. au·to·mat·ed, au·to·mat·ing, au·to·mates v.tr. 1. To convert to automatic operation: automate a factory. 2. line provides extremely accurate and consistent fine-line etching etching, the art of engraving with acid on metal; also the print taken from the metal plate so engraved. In hard-ground etching the plate, usually of copper or zinc, is given a thin coating or ground of acid-resistant resin. . --Debur equipment. Advanced Circuits' new Debur equipment offers thorough cleaning for small holes, supporting the capability for tighter more compact designs. --Lead Free Hot Air Solder solder (sŏd`ər), metal alloy used in the molten state as a metallic binder. The type of solder to be used is determined by the metals to be united. Soft solders are commonly composed of lead and tin and have low melting points. Hard solders (i. Level (HASL (language) HASL - SASL plus conditional unification. ["A Prological Definition of HASL, A Purely Functional Language with Unification Based Conditional Binding Expressions", H. Abramson in Logic Programming: Functions, Relations and Equations, D. DeGroot et al eds, P-H 1986]. ) Unit. This purchase is in preparation for the pending 2006 lead-free adj. 1. not containing the element lead. 2. Not containing a lead additive such as tetraethyllead or tetramethyllead; - of gasoline; as, Most modern cars run on lead-free gasoline s>. Oposite of leaded nt>. 3. requirements. The new HASL unit will be used to manufacture lead-free products and also add redundancy Having a secondary peripheral, computer system or network device that takes over when the primary unit fails. See fault tolerant, mirroring, RAID, hot standby and backup types. 1. to current production processes. --Hot Air Solder Leveling Pre-Clean and Post-Clean Lines. These new and improved lines will reduce the cycle time required to produce a board, while at the same time providing greater consistency in the final product. --Handling equipment. This new equipment for the HASL and SES lines further automates the manufacturing process, allowing a single employee to manage the process. "We are fortunate our continued company success allows us to purchase the latest technology needed to provide outstanding customer value and satisfaction," said John Yacoub, President of Advanced Circuits. "By automating more processes we are further reducing the chance for errors and providing an opportunity to cross-train cross-train v. cross-trained, cross-train·ing, cross-trains v.intr. 1. To undergo or provide training in different tasks or skills: our employees so that their expertise and skills can be used in multiple areas." The installation and implementation of the new equipment begins this month and with an end of year completion date.
