Increase throughput up to 2X! Reduce overall processing costs by up to 30%.

As a part of ESI’s market-leading family of flex PCB processing systems, CapStone™ leverages ESI’s new laser technology, fluence control and beam positioning. This combination delivers the fastest blind via processing times in the industry and enables FPC processors to process a wider range of materials at high yields and high productivity with minimum process development and maximum uptime.

DynaClean™ CapStone’s blind via processing speeds are significantly higher due to the incorporation of ESI’s new DynaClean™ feature using ESI’s patented esiLens™ technology. In a single pass, DynaClean™ processes both copper opening and dielectric cleaning steps that previously required multiple passes. This eliminates unproductive feature-to-feature movement time and enables significantly faster throughput than the 5335 and other UV laser systems, while delivering the same quality of via formation.

AcceleDrill™ Building on the 5335’s Third Dynamics™, ESI’s latest evolution of beam positioning technology minimizes heat effects with up to and beyond 10m/s via drilling process velocities.

This combination delivers the fastest blind via processing times in the industry and enables FPC processors to process a wider range of materials at high yields and high productivity with minimum process development and maximum uptime.

esiFlex™ Laser CapStone’s high-performance, custom-designed esiFlex™ Laser drives higher performance while minimizing processing costs.

Coming Soon - SPOT ON^TM Feature Upgrade for flexible PCB processors operating in a high-volume, high-precision environment, SPOT ON enables them to leverage historical and real-time processing data to optimize throughput, improve quality, and minimize system downtime. Adding the SPOT ON feature to the CapStone system cuts per-panel processing cost over using CapStone alone. With its unique Z-Mapping capabilities. SPOT-ON extends focus accuracy and compensates for material or system fluctuations to maintain ideal focus positions.

• Expanded process monitoring for out-of-range processing
• Limit fluctuations across the work surface and maintain an ideal focal point
• Measure and correct at the workpiece
• CapStone significantly reduces the cost of ownership for the full spectrum of applications and pattern densities considered by leading flex circuit manufacturers.
• Improved service planning and troubleshooting

Get the CapStone Advantage:

• Cut processing time by up to and beyond 2x.
• Minimize heat-affected zones.
• Increase yields.
• Lower per-panel processing costs.
