AX Series Automated Exposure Platform AXR Series Reel to Reel Automated Exposure Platform Spectramatch UV Lamps
 
 
OLEC’s renowned auto-alignment registration system and imaging platform is now enhanced with a superior vertical handling system, which is ideal for soldermask, flex circuits, and outerlayers. The payback for the new platform is extremely short with the increased yields from tight tolerance registration, short setup time, and the high-resolution capability.
