Special working desk of aluminium profile, movable, can be loaded up with 240 kg.
4. LPKF Pro Mask. System to apply solder resist on prototype Printed Circuit Boards. Set sufficient for 10 double sided boards in the dimension of A4. Equipment has a complete set of ultraviolet highlighting system to transfer drowing from film to photo sensitive area.
5. Galvanic Through-hole Plating LPKF Contac RS. System for galvanic through-hole plating for double sided boards including chemical tin with 6 bathes (2 cleaner, 1 sink, 1 activator, 1 copper plater, 1 chemical tin) with shiftable reverse pulse plating technology. With integrated micro-controller, 4-line display, menu-contolled user-interface.
Laboratory offers high level specialist services and consultations to implement services mentioned before. Consultations includes evaluation of the task and solution development.
Other services
6. Testing station for high integration level electronically blocks – Pro vision First. There is possible to test different level electronical equipment, even if it is very compact. It is easy to test first examples in the phase of elaboration, and tests are usable for future manufacturing and exploatation services.

7. Lasermarking system (TRUMPF station). TRUMPF marking lasers are used in many different applications: metals, plastics, ceramics, organic materials, etc. – they mark almost everything. Every symbol or character can be produced, from lines and numbers on a speedometer to the graphics for programming a washing machine. In many cases these are logos, product and part names, as well as legally mandated information, such as material data, „best before” dates, or safety instructions. Special codes distinguish brand name products from imitations. It is also possible to produce indentations and marking lines for downstream production. TRUMPF marking lasers are characterized by their high quality results, just as well as by their high level of flexibility. Thei can Mark any workspiece shape, even in places that are difficult to reach. High quality laser marking and micro processing are popular for high quality products, space saving desktop laser work station (equipment needed for marking text and design elements on produced products, it is actual for electronic and metalworking branches companies who manufacture products in small amounts).
