2D codes take up much less real estate so that might work. Something else we did was to go to CO2 lasers and mark directly into the solder mask. Underlying copper gave adequate contrast to the green mask. Much more of an investment, but works grea

First, I'm the ASYS Rep in the southeastern USA states. Laser is not a direct swap for a bit router. It is application driven. CO2 laser is the least expensive and faster than a bit router for a thinner (

I'd also recommend Control Micro Systems;4420 Metric Drive; Winter Park, Florida. We've been using one of their CO2 lasers for years to put a 2D code on our PCBs. 2D will save a lot of room and I'm told you can store more data. The laser drastical

Hello - I have seen this work effectively with a diode laser. I recently purchased a CO2 laser which I am certain would work. 10-20w diode lasers (used for marking and engraving) would likely work. The resist burns away, but the copper then dissipate

We have started switching all our PCB marking from labels to Laser marking. We have a silkscreen patch put on the boards then use a CO2 laser to burn the mark off to produce the barcode. Our marking downtime has gone from an average of 8 hours a we

Thin FR4 can be routed with a CO2 laser with high quality results, the edge is precise and free of slag. The process is extremely low stress. If the edges are straight you can consider sawing. 0.4mm (0.016") FR4 can be laser routed and sawn at spee

We are working with a 16mil TSOP Land width=0.2mm(8mil) and use: 1.Type 4 particle size solder paste. 2.Laser cut electropolished stencil: Aperture width=0.19mm (we tried lower than this but had solder insufficiency). Thickness=0.005"(130 microns)

First, some people wait a lifetime for ... ;-) Second, how do you guys measure the stencil aperture clog? What do you think of the Magnaplancil from Fendelaz? It�s a double fyv-blue-green CO2 laser refract-defractometer. ;-) Third, do you really
