Cibel invests in Altix Direct Imaging equipment, the Adix SA3
Val de Reuil, November 20, 2020 - Press Release
Cibel, a French company based in Normandy since 1986 with a workforce of 58 people, is a dynamic company specializing in the manufacture of printed circuits, prototypes, models and small series. Cibel recently integrated the ACB group, which brings together the companies ACB Belgium and Atlantec France.
Technical excellence, and the ability to be present in several markets such as semiconductor, aeronautics, defense, medical, scientific research, have pushed Cibel to expand its machine production lines for 2021.
Among the equipment Cibel invested in, is a Direct Imaging machine by Altix, selected to meet the various demands of its customers. The Adix SA is a dedicated UV LED DMD solution for all processes (inner and outer layer, soldermask) based on its new ALDS-Power4 + ™ technology with 4 LEDs per head.
Mr. Eric Chambault, COO of the Cibel plant tells us about this investment: “More than ever, Cibel produces a wide range of complex products, especially in term of tracks/gaps width, layers number and jumbo size. And delivered with the shortest leadtime.
We are working for a long time with Altix in the image transfer process. We know the quality of their machines and the associated support.
It was clear we should move forward with this local partner to deploy this very structural evolution of our image process.
The Direct Imaging ADIX SA3 LS20 is a natural evolution to speed up & ease the tooling use and to support our customers in their futur technological developments. After a double sources laser drilling machine deployed in 2019, it fulfills an ambitious investment plan which secures and accelarates our innovation program. »
A long-standing Altix customer, Cibel provides all of the image transfer processes using conventional Altix equipment.
As such, Frédéric BARADEL, Altix Vice-President confides: "We are really proud that a company such as Cibel once again has confidence in Altix by integrating a Direct Imaging Adix SA3 equipment into their factory. Cibel is entering the digital age, and Altix will ensure this transition for the implementation of the three manufacturing processes. Cibel, through its choice, consolidates the European presence of Altix, having to its credit multiple installations in Europe both for the printed circuit and for the metal etching, and particularly in France where 80% of manufacturers have opted for an Altix solution. We would like to thank the entire Cibel team once again for showing their confidence in Altix, and we look forward to starting this new project together as part of our partnership. "
