1. Overview of FPC soft board automatic production line
Get to know FPC
FPC single-layer flexible board structure Edit the structure of FPC single-layer flexible board, the flexible board of this structure is the flexible board with the simplest structure, usually the base material + transparent glue + copper foil is a set of purchased raw materials, protective film + transparent Glue is another purchased raw material. First, the copper foil needs to be etched to obtain the required circuit, and the protective film needs to be drilled to expose the corresponding pads. After cleaning, the two are combined by rolling method, and then gold or tin is plated on the exposed pad part for protection. In this way, the reversal is done. Generally, small circuit boards with corresponding shapes are also punched, and there are also solder resist layers directly printed on copper foil without protective film, which will lower the cost, but the mechanical strength of the circuit board will be worse. Unless the strength requirements are not high but the price needs to be as low as possible, the best method is to apply a protective film.
2. Introduction of traditional FPC soft board production method
Traditional FPC production equipment: punch press
Production process: all handmade
Use mold: metal mold
Production steps: single-layer punching of metal mold, one process for each layer, artificial hole-to-hole compounding, and then punching and forming on a punching machine, and finally manual cleaning and packaging.
Pure handicraft fixture set hole compound
Disadvantages of the traditional practice of FPC soft board
1. The practice is single, and a large amount of manual use increases the cost of manual use.
2. The process is complicated and frequent on and off machines increase product loss and virtually increase manufacturing costs.
3. The personal safety of employees cannot be effectively guaranteed by the mechanical use of punching machines.
4. It is difficult to ensure the cleanliness of the product when the punch is used in a large area.
