Garbsen, July 12th, 2016 - LPKF, the laser specialist headquartered in
Garbsen near Hannover, unveiled a new high-end laser system for drilling
and cutting flexible circuit boards in March this year. Now, the first
system has been sold to Sagami PCI, a client from Japan.

The Microline 5000 uses a UV laser and tops off the LPKF Microline series.
It is extremely rapid and precise. This makes it possible to process large
numbers of flexible circuit boards and simultaneously reduce the per-unit
costs. "This means that the Microline 5000 fills a market niche", explains
Nils Heininger, Managing Director of the Pro-duction segment at LPKF.

Japanese clients are known for their extremely high quality and cost
requirements. The company Sagami PCI will be using the system for
processing particularly sensitive circuit boards for consumer electron-ics,
among other applications. Sagami PCI is specialized in drilling and routing
services for printed wiring boards and various materials. They are well
known as one of the biggest drilling job shops in Japan.

"The Microline 5000 will allow our clients to streamline their production
process even further", says Nils Heininger. "We are glad to have made our
first sale and about the positive feedback overall on the market."
