What is a photo panel?
PhotoPlatter is a device that uses light to create an image on the medium. The electromechanical-optical machine was originally developed at the age of 60 and allows you to complete processes that lasted up to 10 hours in minutes. Data instructions that are commonly written in Gerber format are used to guide the machine and draw rows and shapes needed to complete the design of the flat circuits (PCB). Laser -controlled systems in the 21st century allow more sophisticated suggestions and work with complex computer design software (CAD).
In the most basic form of the photo panel, the images are exhibited on a black and white film by a light source that is controlled by a computer. Film media then evolves using the washing and drying process. Photolitographic masks for PCB are produced from a photopotter and photomass with submicrometers can be developed for the production of an integrated circuit. Had a clear lamp that allowed the machine to project the image mounted in the rotating wheelsa. The picture was then transferred to a photo -sensitive film or glass. The shapes were drawn on the surface by means of arches called strokes, produced by a continuous beam of light, while the flashes were formed by radiation in a solid place. Information about the shape and size of rows, holes and other functions in the figure were contained in the Gerber data.
Specific sets of this data are used using CAD software, but laser photoprotcators often use numerical data to turn on or off the laser at specific time intervals. Other data formats have been developed for photo charging with CAD software programs or computer -supported machining (CAM). One file can be used to store data and a large size of most data storage systems is compatible with small as compatible design processes.
Laser photoplotter systems can focus rays in one or more places. LaserRSS can be modulated at high -frequency speed to form detailed images. A red laser with helium-n-neon is often used, but laser diodes and red light diodes and diodes are also commonly implemented for laser photo plants. Some machines completely eliminate a photographic film and one system has a laser or xenon lamp that directly exposes the coated substrate to the light. The photoplatter has undergone technological changes and is a valuable tool in the PCB industry, as well as in graphic art and chemical milling.
