ILFA invests in new CF 200 high-vacuum plugging machine from I.T.C. Intercircuit

Published by f.schwarz on

During the IPC APEX Expo 2024 in Anaheim, California, we awarded I.T.C. Intercircuit, one of the leading suppliers of equipment for the PCB industry, the contract for a new plugging machine. The CF 200 high-vacuum plugging machine is a real innovation: filling and cleaning take place in just one fully air-conditioned chamber, and through-holes and blind holes on both sides of the PCB are filled in a single operation. The new plugging machine saves us manual handling, as the doctoring process takes place automatically after filling. The paste fill level and consumption can be read in real time. Designed as a vertical single-chamber machine, it saves valuable floor space and the plugging machine is made entirely of stainless steel. It is conveniently operated via a Siemens PLC type S7-1500 control system, which is connected to a visualisation program on an industrial touch-screen PC.

With the latest generation of plugging machines, we are ideally positioned to fill blind holes and through-holes in complex PCBs in the future. We are reducing manual handling and at the same time optimising the consumption of the required plugging paste. The replacement of our previous plugging system will take place “on the fly”.

Trade and in-house production of printed circuit boards: The best of both worlds at ILFA

The ILFA business model combines the best of both worlds for its customers: The in-house production of complex printed circuit boards in Hanover as well as the trade with printed circuit boards from controlled external production. Our Asian partners are personally qualified by our own local office in Shenzhen. Regular audits ensure consistent material quality and smooth production processes. From small batch sizes for samples to large series, we can fulfil any request. This makes us particularly interesting for all electronics companies that do not have their own contacts in Asia.

Prospective electrical engineering assistants visit ILFA

In February, we had 14 vocational students training to become electrical engineering assistants visit ILFA. In addition to four of their teachers, they brought with them a great thirst for knowledge and numerous questions about ILFA and our printed circuit boards. The 14 young people attend the BBS ME in Hanover, where they complete the two-year school-based training programme.
