Hi VMS, I think if any model it would be the one they sell the most to the Asia market, which is the UltraPrint 2000. By the way, the UP3000 is called the UltraFlex 3000 this week. The UF3K is the top-of-the-range machine, top $$$$.

Hi Christina, What would you be basing the yields off of? Is it solder defect, component placement, etc....? I have worked for a flex house for quite a few years. You are right. The Polyimide is very dimentionally unstable. (even more so on humid da

We've had a few problems with printing a flex-rigid PWB, and I'm hoping some of you could throw some opinions/suggestions my way. Our PWB is about 8" x 11" divided into two parts (side A & B) by 2 wide flex cables. Each of these flex cables is ab

There is also a good reference book on flexible circuits from Joe Fjelstad. http://flexiblecircuittechnology.com/flex4/ This book covers everything from creating the flex circuitry itself to the assembly of flex circuits. Also, roll-to-roll assemb

Hello Chris, "It sticks up about 3/8" or so above the surface of the board." Is this over the ridgid portion of the PCB or in between? Is it possible to create a support fixture for printing that has relief that will allow the flex to bow downward i

My first reaction would be to run! FAST! Flex -- well, it... flexes... and isn't flat. While you assemble it, While you transport it, While it goes through the oven... SMT Connectors typically need to be held down during reflow. Fiducial types are

We have been building with flex circuits for nearly three years now, its an automotive product utilizing lead free paste, I will give you a few pointers. 1. Evaluate your supplier carefully, make sure you have some kind of stretch tolerance on the p

To me the most challenge would be the printing step. If you can print it, you should able to run it with SMT. We ran similar thickness flex boards before. But it's long flex with small stiffener at both ends, and it was 10up array. You need fixture

The MicroFlex is not really new. Its the UltraPrint 100 re-engineered and improved. UltraPrint 100 / SMTech 100 has been around for many years. I don't believe the DEK 248 offers a Stencil Wiper option. I worked on MicroFlex machines. Vision system i
