FINE LINE STENCIL Announces the Purchase of the Industry's Most Advanced Stencil Laser

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO � November 5, 2008 � FINE LINE STENCIL, a division of FCT Assembly and a leading manufacturer of stencil products, announces the purchase of the industry's most advanced stencil laser.

The addition of the LPKF MultiCut stencil laser gives FINE LINE STENCIL a distinct advantage in meeting the demands of today's contract manufacturers. At 15,000 apertures per hour, the laser is five times faster than previous generation stencil lasers. With a 19 �m diameter laser beam (half the diameter of previous generation stencil lasers) and the latest linear motor technology, aperture quality and registration are second-to-none. The new MultiCut laser is located at its Memphis, TN facility where stencil orders can be shipped up to midnight CST.

�The quick turn demands on the contract manufacturing industry are increasing rapidly and this new laser puts FINE LINE STENCIL in an ideal position to meet those demands,� said Robert Dervaes, VP Technology and Engineering.
