LPKF Laser & Electronics AG - Solutions for Prototype Printed Circuit Board Production

Paul Boughton

LPKF’s Rapid PCB Prototyping segment has a product line covering the whole production process for printed circuit boards: from chemical-free structuring to SMT assembly. Fully functioning circuits can be made completely in-house; without having to rely on external service companies – allowing sensitive data to securely stay within your company.Applications include: one-sided PCBs, multilayer boards, high capacity circuits, HF and microwave printed circuit boards; on rigid or flexible base materials. Products unrelated to printed circuit boards such as polyimide stencils, plastic and aluminium components can also be produced, along with many other applications.

The circuit board plotters in the LPKF ProtoMat series set standards worldwide in the milling, drilling and routing of PCBs. They use CAD data to produce complex printed circuit boards in a quick and accurate process. The systems feature a high degree of automation, compactness and immediate readiness for use. There is only one system that is even more precise: the LPKF ProtoLaser S. Using a laser technique, it is ideal for the prototyping of complex digital and analogue circuits, as well as RF and microwave PCBs. The potential to produce highly precise geometries in almost any material makes it the perfect system for the production of antennas, filters, and numerous other applications which require precise, steep edge quality. The contact-free laser processes flexible and sensitive materials reliably and without causing any damage.

In addition to machines for in-house Rapid PCB Prototyping, LPKF also produces laser systems for the production of SMT stencils, PCB processing, for depaneling assembled multi-image boards, MIDs, and laser plastic welding. Services for the laser processing of micromaterials are provided by our subsidiary LaserMicronics. Other subsidiaries develop and produce laser systems for scribing solar panels, as well as drive and control solutions.

With over 30 years of experience, LPKF Laser & Electronics AG (LPKF) is the world market leader in Rapid PCB Prototyping. More than 370 employees guarantee professional distribution and service support around the world. As a technology Group, LPKF is committed to technical advancement, and boasts a certified quality management system. Around 20 percent of LPKF’s workforce is directly involved in research and development.
