An electrotype. Scientific Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESIO ESIO Earth Sciences Information Office (Environmental Institute; University of Massachusetts) ), a leading provider of world-class production laser systems for microengineering applications, today announced it has received a follow-on order for several Model FLEX5330 UV Laser Microvia Drilling Systems from a leading provider of flexible circuits and value-added component-assembly solutions to the electronics industry. The North America-based customer intends to utilize ESI's UV laser drilling systems for volume production of flexible printed circuits in its manufacturing facilities located in the U.S. and Asia. This multiple-system purchase underscores ESI's position as having the world's largest installed base of UV laser drilling systems. ESI is committed to ongoing development of cost-effective solutions that provide increased speed, quality, reliability and serviceability (system) serviceability - The ease with which corrective maintenance or preventative maintenance can be performed on a system (e.g. by a hardware service technician). Higher serviceability improves availability and reduces service cost. Serviceability is one component of RAS. for its global customers. Laptop computers A portable computer that has a flat LCD screen and usually weighs less than eight pounds. Often called just a "laptop," it uses batteries for mobile use and AC power for charging the batteries and desktop use. Today's high-end laptops provide all the capabilities of most desktop computers. , PDAs, cellular flip phones, and other personal digital devices contain flexible circuits because of their ability to be twisted and folded into complex, tight-fitting assemblies. These stringent packaging parameters, in turn, drive demand for high precision micromachined features and vias. ESI's high-repetition, UV laser drills high-quality blind microvias that meet these exacting requirements for flexible-circuit manufacturing. As a result, ESI's Model FLEX5330 enables volume production of smaller, feature-rich electronic devices. Sidney Wong, Senior Director for ESI's Product Market Solutions Group, noted, "This follow-on multi-system order exemplifies the rapid global adoption of ESI's UV laser tools. The Model FLEX5330 system provides high accuracy, high productivity and lower overall cost of ownership to meet our global customers' manufacturing goals. We look forward to supporting this valued customer and to providing advanced technology solutions for volume manufacturing in advanced flex circuit See flexible circuit. applications." Model FLEX5330 Key Features ESI's Model FLEX5330 UV Laser Microvia Drilling System is the premier choice for high-quality microvias in small-geometry flex circuit boards. The Model FLEX5330 incorporates a high power diode-pumped laser with pulse repetition frequency 1. In lasers, the number of pulses that occur each second. 2. In radar, the number of pulses that occur each second. Pulse repetition frequency should not be confused with transmission frequency, which is determined by the rate at which cycles are repeated within the of up to 70 kHz. ESI's UV laser drilling solutions are specifically designed for applications requiring the highest accuracy and the smallest via dimensions. About ESI, Inc. ESI is a pioneer and leading supplier of world-class production laser systems that help its microelectronics microelectronics, branch of electronic technology devoted to the design and development of extremely small electronic devices that consume very little electric power. customers achieve compelling yield and productivity gains. The company's industry-leading, application-specific products enhance electronic-device performance in three key sectors -- semiconductors, components and electronic interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. -- by enabling precision fine-tuning of device microfeatures in high-volume manufacturing environments.
