May 8, 2009 – Z-AXIS, a leading provider of electronics design and manufacturing services in western New York, has expanded its production capacity by adding a new dual 80-watt CO2 laser to its manufacturing equipment list. The new laser is used for a number of processes in custom electromechanical assembly production, including:
- Laser cutting of plastic insulators to shield printed circuit boards within assemblies.
- Customization of plastic enclosures.
- Engraving of logos, date codes, serial numbers and other markings.
- De-marking of ICs.
The new system offers more than three times the throughput of the single 60-watt laser it replaces.
“This investment supports our commitment to meeting our customers’ exact requirements with superior quality, high throughput and competitive pricing,” said Michael Allen, president of Z-AXIS. “We believe that our ongoing investment in high-end equipment is an important factor in the continued strong demand we’re seeing for our contract manufacturing services, despite the economic climate.”
