$35+ Million in Capital Equipment
We invest approximately 10% of our annual revenue in capital improvements. Since 1996, we have invested an average of $4,000,000 per year in upgrades, improvements and developing new capabilities to better serve our customers.
Featured Equipment
MIVA 2021L Direct Imager
High resolution Precision imaging for sub 25µm feature realization.
Orbotech Nuvogo Fine
The Nuvogo Fine is driven by Orbotech’s proven state-of-the-art optics, mechanics and electronics. Capable of providing a line width of 10μm and yields of up to 5,500 panels per production line, per day, it provides exceptionally fast panel production speeds coupled with dense feature realization.
Fully Automated ENIG
Fully autonomous, high-throughput ENIG line from IPS gives complete control over hyper corrosion using Macdermid Affinity ENIG chemistry.
8-Camera Post-Etch-Punch
Perfectly placed layup tooling holes and core front-to-back image registration validation.
Schmoll Combi 350 Laser Drill
Laser drill with localized scaling and precision for realizing microvias and tight registration drilling
Advanced Via Plating and Microvia Fill
Capacity electroplating for surface plating as well as hole wall and microvia fill using the Macdermid AVF-700 and HT-360 chemistries.
Microcraft EMMA Flying Probe Testers
EMMA is a fixtureless flying probe that uses its unique contact probes to conduct continuity and isolation tests to both top and bottom sides of the board at the same time.
OPTEK VideoMic
The OPTEK VideoMic series provides rapid, non-contact 3-Axis coordinate measurement with remarkable speed and accuracy. This capability allows the user to verify critical dimensions on first articles, production samples, or entire runs.
Accu Systems Scoring Machines
The benefits of v-scoring are well documented. The efficiencies gained in producing multiple assemblies from a single manufacturing cycle ensure the continued success of this value-added process.
Eclipse Metallization
MacDermid Eclipse is the next generation direct metallization process, engineered specifically for fabricators and OEMs that require consistently high performance, reliability and durability. Eclipse provides high tech capabilities and RoHS-compliance all in one.
Electroless Metallization
This electroless process greatly improves the object’s resistance to galling and leaves a predictable, uniform nickel coating for high precision parts, which can be applied to both ferrous and non-ferrous surfaces of any geometry or intricate shape.
Automated Flying Probe
The addition of two ATG A9a flying probe electrical testers gives a new level of precision in fine feature electrical test as well as automated handling to increase overall throughput
OLEC AccuTray AT30 Auto Align Imager
The AccuTray™ AT 30 is OLEC’s innovative, automatic vision-based registration system for imaging printed circuit boards or chemical machining. The AccuTray AT 30 can handle tasks impossible to accomplish using conventional equipment and offers a much higher level of control and versatility.
OPTEK InnerVision
The OPTEK InnerVision is the world’s first x-ray coordinate measuring machine. It measures and reports the positions of internal features such as coupon pads on inner layers of multi-layer printed circuit boards, reinforcements and fastener inserts in composite structures and other such encapsulated or laminated features.
Penta HASL_LFSL with WISE PrePost Clean
Innovation, user- and customer-orientation, highest quality and non-pollution are the supreme objectives of PENTAGAL’ vertical Hot Air Leveling System. It is more cost-effective, space-economizing, more available and ecological than present horizontal automatic Hot Air Leveling Systems.
Schmid Strip-Etch-Strip (SES)
The Schmid SES lines with innovative filter systems clean the entire stripping solution before it is returned to the tank container. Depending on the resist type, a cyclone filter system, a drum filter system or a combination of both is used. The stripping process adjust to the type of resist then removes the remaining photoresist on the circuits.
Automated Optical Inspection and Measurement
KLA Orbotech Ultra Dimension 800 gives a 4-in-1 AOI solution for inspection of precision features and automated feature measurement.
Schmid Develop-Etch-Strip (DES)
The Schmid DES line has an innovative filter technology for the stripping process adjusted to the type of resist. This machine also has transport systems adaptable to all circuit board formats. Because of the very high mix of PCB requirements from customers, essentially customizing the DES step based on the characteristics of the board, is extremely important.
Automated Electroplating Equipment
Calumet Electronics has invested in two automated vertical plating lines from Process Automation Limited, LLC. Each plating machine is equipped with 18 stages including six copper plating stages and one tin plating stage. Transporter control is managed by a PLC housed in a separate control cabinet. Mechanical agitation is provided on all process and rinse tanks. Plating process variables are managed through OSST software ensuring consistency and eliminating human error.
Pluritech X-Ray Drill Machines
Calumet Electronics uses a Pluritec INSPECTA L to x-ray and then drill “best fit” tooling holes unique to each production panel. The unique tooling holes result in precise production drilling and an increase in multilayer registration accuracy.
Next Generation Mechanical Drill
Next level precision in drill technology, the Schmoll drill brings localized registration and panel automation providing a combination of high speed with high precision.
Hitachi Drill Machines
Calumet Electronics has invested in the innovative technology and advanced engineering of Hitachi drill machines. Hitachi produces the fastest, most accurate and most reliable CNC PCB drilling machines on the market. Hitachi drill machines provide the following benefits to Calumet Electronics and its customers: reduced bit exchange time using Hitachi’s quick insert changer; chip clogging prevention using cyclone jet technology; reliable broken bit detection accomplished with a unique method of counting chips and maintaining long term stability; stable small hole drilling with minimal bit breakage using a front thrust spindle; flexible tool management with the easy-handling tool cassette design; panel scrap eliminated through the use of the tool height detector that prevents the use of damaged or wrong size tools.
