Concerning upcoming Easter Holidays, we inform you about our workdays:

Until Good Friday we are working with full power. Then as following:

With best regards

Brandner PCB

In manufacture of PCB board we use different innerlayers, prepregs and foils, from which we combine the stackup needed. Based on our experience we keep the list of materials in stock for many stackup possibilities, but unfortunately this is not an endless pool of choices. Our stock list is presented in our Stackup Builder, where you can build the stackup for up to 24-layered board. Using our Stackup Builder you can be confident that we can manufacture the board exactly as you need it and last minute design changes due to stackup requirements are avoided.

To turn your attention to our Stackup Builder all new projects what include the output from our Stackup Builder will be -5% discounted on March. The output included to spedification must be either the pdf-file or the stackup code from our builder tool.

We reccommend to look at “Good advice” section of our webpage, where we freshly present our  Desing Rules which we kindly ask to take into consideration. If these rules happen to be neglected, we most probaly have to ask you to review your design. Using Stackup builder and our Design Rules can save your time and effort!

The picture below illustrates where will you find the PDF or code for your stackup built.

It is a great pleasure for us to announce that we have a new hi-tech routing and drilling device in our workshop.

This new device enables us to increase our production volumes and expand our technical capabilities. Instead of a minimal routing width of 0.6 mm, our new minimal routing limit is 0.2 mm. Up to now we were not able to do blind slots or blind routed areas, but with this new device both options become available.

To introduce our new capabilities, we offer a 15 % discount in November to all clients who would like to challenge our newest routing-drilling device by ordering a product with blind slots.

0,2mm blind slot. Magnified 40X.

Brandner PCB offered yet another free workshop for interested designers.

Participants got an overview of typical communication issues that can arise between designer and manufacturer. Very often designers have no practical knowledge of real life production processes or materials used in production of PCB boards. Some aspects of IPC standards regarding PCB acceptance (like tolerances) are always something of a surprise information for many new designers.

A slideshow of real life examples was “very educational indeed” as was the feedback from participants.

Dear client, if you have interest in free workshops and seminars offered by Brandner PCB, let us know and we will organize another group!

New Flying probe tester incoming, test speeds up to 3x faster Brandner PCB Ltd. has made a preliminary agreement with Germany’s atg Luther & Maelzer GmbH to buy a new flying probe tester. New generation tester will speed up the testing process up to 3 times, giving us yet one more technological improvement to serve our clients even faster.

Clients and visitors of Electronica 2014 fair have showed a lot of interest in Brandner PCB’s technical capablities, especially our ultrafast prototype production. The questions still keep poring in.
Many visitors had a hard time believing we actually can produce 10-layer prototype in 24 hours only and ship it out to our clients in 1-2 days after completion.
Our Protoshop (brandner.ee/eng/protoshop/) also received a lot of attention with its simple, yet detailed and logical layout.

Brandner PCB Ltd. was present in Estonia’s state fair booth as one of the best potential candidate to grow its market share in Europe in the near future.

Tallinn University of Technology Robotics Club and Brandner PCB have entered into a sponsorship agreement, which enables students who are engaged in robot-construction projects to receive
professionally prepared printing plates and use high-definition PCB-s. Without the sponsorship, the use of such equipment would be unthinkable due to its high cost.

Rain Ellermaa, TTÜ Robotiklubi MTÜ: This (sponsorship) is great news for us, we are very grateful.

Little by little, the Brandner team is attempting to create web tools that will help simplify the life of printing plate designers. We have just finished work on our v-cut calculator, which you can view here. The calculator allows one to see the width of the cutting path and how far a wire or an area should be located from the border line, so that it would not damage the copper area. If the distance is left uncalculated, it is likely that the blade will cut into the area or into the wire, leading to deterioration in the reliability of the printing plate. An example of the blade cutting into an area has been given below.

As has already become a tradition – Brandner is working also in the summer. We handle orders following our normal schedule, but for those that really can’t wait, we recommend the use of our Protoshop. Also, in July and August we offer 72 h delivery without the usual additional fee for our ultrafast work. See the conditions here. Use the chance and take the most of the summer! Note! Offer is depending about factory loading.
