After successfully securing beta sites with lead-
ing electronics manufacturers in Europe and
Asia for its revolutionary PCB manufacturing
system, the Rainbow Process Line, Rainbow
Technology Systems is seeking development
partners in America.
Developed over six years, the
Rainbow process represents a breakthrough for
the electronics industry by incorporating coat-
ing, imaging and developing of PCBs in one
compact, automated unit which promises to
make board production faster, easier and more
protable. One of the key advantages of the
system is its ability to print ne line detail pro-
ducing track and gap of 20 microns and under.
As the industry drives towards increasingly
ner levels of detail, the Rainbow process is
already capable.
e completely self-contained unit takes up
less than 20 sq.m of oor space and comes
complete with its own environmentally con-
trolled enclosure, which helps to maximize
potential yields. e process is automatic,
requiring minimal operator intervention and is
capable of delivering up to 3 double-sided
panels per minute at up to 24" x 22" standard
size, ready for etching.
Central to the success of the Rainbow process is
the proprietary solvent-free liquid etch resist
which does not require pre-drying before imaging.
Using a wet resist oers a much better adhesion to
the copper than can be achieved with traditional
dry lm methods. Rainbow will be speak-
ing to potential U.S. partners at this year's
IPC APEX EXPO.
Chris O'Brien, Sales and Marketing Man-
ager, explains: "e Rainbow Process has
now evolved from the prototype stage to the
building of fully functioning equipment designed
for full scale production. 2014 will be a key year for
us as we put the rst machines through their paces
in full production mode on customer's sites in Asia
and Europe.
In addition to the Rainbow Process Line, we are also
establishing global sales of other innovative coating
equipment, such as our Panda Coater, which puts
UV curable liquid coatings onto phototools,
stabilizing them and extending their useful life. We
will have a Panda Coater on our stand at the show
alongside our Desktop Coater, which can carry out
the Rainbow process on a smaller scale."
