Plastics variety for your application

Plastics offer the ideal conditions for use in electronic devices and are therefore decisive for electronics and electrical engineering. As printed circuit boards or circuit boards, plastics act as carriers for electronic components and metallic conductors. In this form, they can be found in almost every electronic device. We process glass-fibre reinforced epoxy circuit boards such as FR3, FR4, FR5 and flexible circuit boards made of polyimide.

Processing of plastics with ultrashort pulse lasers

Thanks to high-performance UKP systems with a processing spectrum in the UV range, we can cut all common PCB materials 100% cleanly and insert precise vias. Thanks to special technology, completely carbonisation-free edges are the result, which completely eliminates the need for post-processing.

Plastics and their processing diversity

In addition to residue-free laser cutting of flex and rigid PCBs, laser drilling is also available for drilling microvias or laser structuring for removing and decoating solder joints on plastic PCBs. For example damage-free labelling/marking is possible by laser marking.
