Mechanical Drilling Blind/Buried Vias

Achieving precise drilling depths without resorting to a laser through contact drilling.

Control depth drilling uses a combination of linear scale, and electrical detection of copper surface of the panel. Once the surface has been detected, the origin is set and depth starts to be counted.

Why Mechanical Drilling is the Right Choice

Laser drilling, commonly used for blind and buried vias, is costly and requires extensive pre- and post-processing. If not cleaned properly, laser ablation can lead to yield issues and field failures. Additionally, it adds complexity and time to production, making alternative precision drilling methods more efficient.
