DYCONEX Invests in MXY2 Drilling and Routing Machine from Schmoll


Reading time ( words)

DYCONEX AG, an MST company and the world's leading supplier of highly complex circuit board solutions, has made a major investment in the MXY2 drilling and routing machine from Schmoll Maschinen GmbH. With this move, DYCONEX has made a further step in the development of ever smaller structures and meeting the requirements for even higher accuracy.

With contact depth drilling and optical registration, the machine achieves highly precise machining results with even higher process reliability. Registration with the aid of a CCD camera allows corrections such as offset, rotation, shrinking and stretching. The machine comes with two separate vacuum tables that can be moved quickly and very precisely along every axis with individual linear drives. In this way, both accuracy and productivity are improved. Further, all process data is recorded. This allows traceability of the machining data down to each individual circuit board. 

The machine will be used primarily for the manufacture of flexible and rigid-flexible circuit boards. These substrates have applications in, among other things, medical implants that demand the highest level of accuracy and reliability.

About DYCONEX AG:

With 50 years of experience, DYCONEX is one of the leading provider of highly complex flexible, rigid-flex and rigid HDI (high-density interconnect)/microvia printed circuit boards for every application where miniaturization, functionality increase, quality and reliability play a role.

DYCONEX is headquartered in Bassersdorf, Switzerland and is a company of the Micro Systems Technologies Group.

About the Micro Systems Technologies group:

The Micro Systems Technologies Group comprises four technology companies providing innovative components, engineering and manufacturing services for medical devices, especially implants, as well as other high-tech applications that demand exceptional quality, performance and reliability.

Active around the globe, the MST companies DYCONEX AG (Switzerland), LITRONIK Batterietechnologie GmbH (Germany), Micro Systems Engineering GmbH (Germany) and Micro Systems Engineering, Inc.

SpaceX is back in the news and in a big, powerful, let’s-blow-up-a-rocket-because-we-can kind of way. The company had scheduled a test launch on Monday, April 17 for the SpaceX Starship, only to scrub that launch until this past Thursday. Well, the results from the launch were less than desirable—or were they? While Starship ultimately exploded just prior to stage separation, simply clearing the launchpad was considered a major milestone by SpaceX.

Most all the action this week involved the STMA International Conference and Exposition. I-Connect007’s Real Time with… video interviews generally led the way for views and clicks. In each item, the intent was to make things better in some fashion. Whether it was pivoting on trade show delivery, optimizing the metalization process in the fab, adding more AI to manufacturing capital equipment, unifying and furthering the concept of the digital twin concept, or responding to company growth by upgrading systems with the help the equipment manufacturers, all these news items speak to being adaptable and forward-thinking.
