EIPC 2009 Winter Conference Amsterdam
Hello and Happy New Year!
Are you being challenged to reduce costs in the drill room while
still needing to maintain quality? Kyocera Tycom has resolved
this issue by combining engineering techniques with new
technologies...please join us to learn more!
You are invited to attend the Kyocera Tycom presentation on
February 12th at the EIPC Winter Meeting. The details are as
follows:
WHO: Kyocera Tycom Corporation, Presenter: Randy O'Donnell,
Senior Applications Engineer
WHAT: "Challenging The Economics of a Modern Drill Room"
Around the world, PCB fabricators are being challenged to drive
cost out of their processes while increasing the reliability of
their product.
With the introduction of stringent environmental and consequent
material requirements, drill room costs have suffered drastic
increases. This cost change demands that conventional methods
and perceptions be challenged. The way to better level the Cost
Playing Field is to combine engineering techniques with new
technologies to drive drilling costs down; this will allow
Europe's PCB Manufacturers to better compete with Asia as well
as North America.
This paper demonstrates the engineering techniques used to
customize drill bit resharpening settings for a manufacturer's
products and processes in order to challenge and reduce New Tool
Only requirements. This will allow the Modern Drill Room to
compete with every operation around the world. Engineering
studies considering multiple factors (drill bit diameter, bit
design, cutting parameters, entry material, back-up material,
laminate materials, copper content, resharpening "stock"
removal, and pointing specifications) are required to truly
maintain product reliability while driving costs down. This
technique is valid for ALL diameters in the PCB spectrum, but
especially important on diameters ranging from 0.20mm to 0.50mm,
where the majority of holes, and therefore costs, reside.
WHERE: Holiday Inn Hotel. Amsterdam, The Netherlands

There will be a "Question and Answer" panel discussion
immediately following the presentation. We look forward to
seeing you at the conference, you won't want to miss it!
