Product catalog summary
Overview
The RapiTrim™ Laser Trim and Test System by PPI Systems Inc. offers advanced laser solutions for interconnect and component production, specifically designed for full-size PCB panels. It utilizes proprietary flying probe technology for rapid and accurate trimming and testing operations, compatible with both thick and thin film materials.

Key Features
  • High reliability fiber laser or DPSSL with no restrictions on circuit size, shape, or component orientation.
  • Optimized for hybrid, PCB, SMT, and embedded circuit trim and test.
  • Fast job changeover for quick-turn production with high accuracy throughput.
  • Fixtureless technology eliminates the need for probe cards, enhancing layout flexibility and reducing operational delays.

Capabilities
  • Supports thin and thick film trimming with various trim types including serpentine and corner shave trims.
  • Advanced ProSys™ Control Software for automated file conversion, job generation, and precise laser control.
  • Custom part fixturing available for hybrid circuits or small substrates.

Software Features
  • Intuitive graphical user interface with touch screen operation.
  • Process map visualization and real-time job status monitoring.
  • Maintenance Tracker and full system diagnostics for enhanced support and predictive maintenance.
  • Remote access for factory support.

Trim and Test Results
  • Detailed results viewable for each component with data logging by substrate serial number.
  • Statistical data report generation and historical data review.

Job Creation
  • Interactive graphical map for job creation with extensive DXF and IPC-D-356 file import support.
  • Automatic definition of resistor location, orientation, values, and limits.

Technical Specifications
  • Optical System: High reliability fiber or DPSS laser with spot size 10 - 50 µm and automated vision system for precision alignment.
  • Mechanical System: Precision linear motor XY stages with high accuracy and repeatability.
  • Measurement System: Fully programmable with high accuracy across a wide resistor range.
  • Part Handling: Supports parts up to 610x860mm with easy access sliding doors.

Options and Facilities Requirements
  • Options include automatic part loader/unloader, probe tip changer, and external instrument support.
  • Facilities require specific electrical, exhaust, compressed air, and vacuum conditions.

RapiTrimTM-1

Advanced laser solutions for interconnect and component production. Laser (IR, Green and UV) Resistor Trimming Systems for Full-size PCB Panels RapiTrim Laser Trim and Test System • • • • • • • • Unique, proprietary flying probe technology for rapid, accurate trim and test operations High reliability fiber laser or DPSSL Unlimited circuit size and shape No restrictions on component size, shape, orientation or density Compatible with both thick film and thin film materials Optimized for hybrid, PCB, SMT and embedded circuit trim and test Fast job changeover for quick-turn production High accuracy throughput with advanced probe and laser spot position control Designed for Next-Generation Circuit Trim and Test Lower cost of operation than fixture-based trimmers with no expensive probe cards to buy. Enhanced layout capability results in no limit on circuit size, orientation or density. Operational flexibility is improved since the system is fully programmable with no waiting days for probe cards. The resulting system is as comfortable in high volume production as in a high-mix quick-turn environment. Advanced ProSysTM Control Software ProSys software allows for automated file conversion and job generation and provides a vision display of the job features and process status. All machine setup calibration controls, job and process settings, vision and process map, status and diagnostic information are accessible with a single click or tap. Laser process tools allow precise control over laser energy, bite size, cut direction and trim limits. Thin film and thick film trimming Simple two-probe measurement to guard probe to full Kelvin probing Optional active circuit trimming with onboard or external instruments Optional process sequence customization Serpentine trims in thin and thick films. Corner shave trim and symmetrical shave trim. RapiTrim systems use proprietary fixtureless technology so probe cards and their inherent limitations are eliminated. Restrictions on design layout are lifted, and operational delays waiting for probe cards are removed. 1051 Baxter Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K2C 3P2 Tel: +1-613-236-8359 Copyright© 2022 PPI Systems Inc.
