50 PCB007 MAGAZINE I MAY 2022 the previous press: it wasn't an active cooler, we had to sit and wait while it cooled itself down. Johnson: Was there anything that surprised you, something that you weren't expecting? Patel: One thing was that it was a lot easier to start. I thought it would be more difficult to get used to, but the transition to the InduBond press was almost seamless. Johnson: Wow. Patel: It surprised me. Maybe one downside was that it took some time to get used to how to actually set up the panels, but even with that, it's easier than before. Like all new tech- nology or processes, there's a learning curve. Johnson: at sounds clean and easy. You're obviously a happy customer. Patel: We're about to push the limit from our side. We're going to run some 300°C press parameters for the DuPont Pyralux® HT mate- rial this week, and hopefully this year we can go into fusion bonding, which is the Teflon® high temperature stuff. We're still trying to push our limits on the press, and so far it's been doing its job. Johnson: Great. at opens the opportunity for you to take on some new technologies. Patel: Yes, exactly. Johnson: Is there anything else you'd like to share? Patel: e nice thing is that the InduBond team is very available. I know that with some com- panies people can be hard to track down, but Victor Lazaro, the CTO at Indubond, and his team have been easy to deal with. If I have any questions, they're pretty fast at figuring it out and sending me instructions. It's been a good partnership, which is what we expect with our suppliers. Johnson: I appreciate your time. Have a great day. Patel: You too. PCB007 Precise temperature control enables new process capabilities.
