Garbsen (euro adhoc) - Garbsen, 19 June 2012 - The special mechanical
engineering company LPKF reports a significant upswing in the demand for laser
systems for cutting printed circuit boards. Incoming orders for this product
line have already reached a level above EUR 10 million after only five months -
sales of these products in the whole of the 2011 financial year were only around
EUR 6 million. The clients include big-name international electronics groups.
"We continue to succeed on a regular basis in replacing conventional product
methods with our laser technology," says Dr. Ingo Bretthauer, CEO of LPKF AG.
The UV laser cutting systems enable single printed circuit boards to be cut
extremely precisely and in any shape from a larger multi-image board. The
technology requires no mechanical tools or complex clamping systems. The cutting
channel can also be right at the edge of the board because the high precision
technology does not harm tracks or components.
With the system families LPKF MicroLine 6000 and LPKF MicroLine 1000, LPKF
delivers concepts for industrial mass production, as well as production
requiring very high variability.
The parties have agreed to maintain confidentiality over the details of the
orders.
