In the contract manufacturing setting of the photo-chemical machining industry, the primary obstacle to large panel processing lies in the ability to UV light image such large panels. In response to this constraint, Lancaster Metals Science custom built a 24” x 144” printer.
With this large imaging capability, Lancaster Metals routinely addresses customer requirements for “over-sized” parts. Currently in production at Lancaster Metals are:
- linear encoders that are over 100 inches ( 8.5 feet ) long
- flexible circuits that are 120 inches ( 10 feet ) long
- heater elements made from .001” and .002” stainless steel that run between 60 inches and 84 inches ( 5 to 7 feet ) long
- phased array antennas that are 54 inches ( 4.5 feet ) long.
Further discussion of the unique results available through the combination of our large panel processing with our continuous reel-to-reel processing can be found under “Continuous Reel-to-Reel Processing.”
