Colonial Circuits

Colonial prints images and stores artwork in a certified class 1000 clean room, constructed by Technovation Systems, Inc. Images are exposed on Olec's AccuTray AT30 8kw exposure units. The AT30 is a modular platform designed to accommodate industry trends for innerlayer, outerlayer, soldermask, and LCD imaging, utilizing BestFit™ technology.

A few of its advanced features include:
Exposure integration for repeatability and consistency Film-to-film / panel-to-film / fiducial-to-film registration Built in cameras are programmable in position to accommodate different panel sizes and target locations Independent tray programming for job flexibility	Pre and post vacuum registration verification Quick and easy artwork setup and change over Push button operation for camera activation and alignment Go / No Go print settings

For superior registration, our exposure units are also fitted with steel drawer frames
housing precision tooled glass from CA Picard.

Colonial has taken an important step toward consistency with the acquisition of its new develop, etch, strip (DES) line from Hollmuller Maschinenbau GmbH. Hollmuller etching modules are characterized by a whole series of innovations. Double spray tube activation produces even etching results across the entire treated surface. The module is also supplied with a fully-automatic etching program, and an etching correction system which compensates for deviations at the front and rear edges of the boards.

For etched panels (and films), our Orion 604hr from Camtek USA provides advanced automated optical inspection capabilities in a cost-effective platform.
Firmware-based architecture enables easy implementation of a rich library of sophisticated detection algorithms. Three detection methodologies work in synergism to achieve outstanding detection ability for a diverse range of materials Eall the way to 2.5-mil line / space technology.
