Drilling
Drilling is carried out by stacking production panels and working them in one lot in the CNC machines. This way each layer is drilled, plated and laminated in stages of pressing. Once fully laminated, the PCB is drilled for PTHs and NPTHs. To improve upon signal integrity whilst keeping cost low, Azitech offers controlled depth drilling from multiple suppliers. This method, also called backdrilling is an efficient method of removing stubs and enhancing RF performance. If a PCB production must achieve certain critical tolerances, Azitech can guarantee quality by sending our FQC engineers in Shenzhen to the PCB factory for “on-site” process control.
