ProVia-UV™ Via Driller Models

The ProVia-UV workstation models utilize the production-proven diode-pumped solid state lasers for high quality, precision processing of a variety of materials.  Some customers prefer segregation of the processes employed in the hybrid drilling machines, i.e. separate UV drillers and CO2 drillers.  The UV laser can be used to drill openings of the required size in the top copper foil, allowing access for dielectric drilling with the CO2 laser on a subsequent machine (e.g. the ProVia-C).  In addition, the UV can be used to drill dielectrics, especially producing excellent quality in non-reinforced materials.

   ProVia data sheet

Laser drilling of microvias is now commonplace in the electronics packaging industry, allowing high density circuits to be made for a range of products from cellular phones and other hand-held devices to chip on flex, multi-chip modules, and PCMCIA cards. 

The ProVia drillers provide the ultimate processing workstations for rigid boards, with high performance galvos for rapid point-to-point drilling and precise control for fine features.  The CO2 laser is appropriate for high speed machining (drilling, cutting and skiving) of dielectrics, while the UV laser is able to machine copper and provide higher cut quality in many dielectrics.  An optional second galvo head for CO2 -only or UV-only systems can increase drilling speeds up to 2X over the standard single-head configuration.  Whether your application is with glass- and aramid-reinforced epoxies or non-reinforced materials (e.g. resin-coated foil), there is a ProVia model to meet your requirements.
