Direct Imaging – Key Technical Points for Chemical Etching Application
Alexis Guilbert, Deputy Sales Director, Altix France
This presentation provides a comprehensive analysis of critical factors essential for Photo Chemical Etching
manufacturers operating in Sheet to Sheet (StS) and Roll to Roll (RtR) applications.
It emphasizes the importance of advanced alignment facilitated by precise target detection techniques,
considering material and surface preparation, to ensure quality photoresist exposure, productivity, and
meticulous machine thermal requirements for consistent performance over time.
Additionally, it highlights the native automation capabilities provided for Sheet to Sheet machines and RtR
processes. Ergonomic considerations such as automated software functions and user-friendly interfaces are
also addressed to enhance workflow efficiency.
