PCB Scanning
Have Double Side Layer Board Or Artwork, But No Electronic Data
- Overview
- Output Formats
- Scan & Clean-Up
We have the capability and technology to convert any artwork to provide electronic data for manufacturing or archiving purposes
- Convert hand-taped artwork, film, paper, or the actual PCB into CAD data
- We guarantee the highest quality, 100% match of Gerber to artwork
- High-resolution Q-scan by Orbotech
- Complete regeneration “Clean Up” of data through CAM workstations, fixing distortion and flashing pads
- Registration of data to drill information, specified grid or blueprint dimensions
- “Scan & Align Only” option at a lower expense (Stage I)
- Incorporate revised engineering changes
- Output formats include: Gerber 274X DXF, HPGL, PDF, MDA-FIRE 9000, and Orbotech orCAD formats
- Quick turn-around with competitive quotes (price quoted determined by the original artwork provided)
Stage I Scan And Align Only
- Camera reduction (when required to bring artwork to scale)
- Measurement of pad size, trace line width, and special aperture shapes
- Scanning artwork, convert image to digital data
- Alignment to blueprint (blueprint required)
Stage II Scan And Clean-Up
- All the steps in Stage I
- Registration; flash all pads/clean all traces
- 100% layer-to-layer registration
- Run Design Rule Check
- Quality inspection of original artwork
Drill Layer Creation
- Using scanned data, we capture all pads from artwork, matching them to the blueprint
- Qualify all pads, match hole count/sizes and dimensions
- Output excellent drill data
