PCB is a bridge that carries electronic components and connects circuits, and is widely used in the electronic information industry. In the context of the rapid development of the electronics industry, almost all electronic products will use PCB, which makes PCB products an important cornerstone for the development of the electronics industry.
In recent years, driven by the rapid development of 5G communications, Internet of Things, cloud computing, wearable devices, automotive electronics and other industries and related policies, PCB as an indispensable part of the modern electronic information industry, the industry development trend is good, and the expansion of PCB manufacturers is also increasing.
According to the statistics of Prismark, an electronics industry research institute, the total output value of the global PCB industry in 2021 is estimated to reach 80.449 billion US dollars, an increase of 23.4% year-on-year. Among them, China, as the largest producer of the global PCB industry, will account for 54.2% of the total output value of the global PCB industry in 2021.
The terminal market potential is huge, and TZTEK has accelerated the layout of the PCB field
As we all know, the PCB process is complex, the process is as many as dozens of steps, slightly biased can easily lead to uneven products, especially in recent years, the downstream application market of high-end electronic products to large-scale integration, lightweight, high intelligence direction of development, the PCB manufacturing process requirements are getting higher and higher. This makes more and more manufacturers rely on PCB special equipment, especially high-end special equipment, hoping to maximize product yield, increase output and control costs through special equipment, so as to obtain a larger market share and attract more new customers, so the pcB special equipment field has good development prospects and great future growth potential.
Founded in 2005, TZTEK has been continuously deepening the application scenarios, exploring forward-looking needs, and practicing the pursuit of long-termism from the single-line breakthrough of the original image measuring instrument products to the multi-product line layout of visual measurement equipment, visual inspection equipment, visual process equipment and intelligent network solutions.
In 2019, under the broad market prospects and industry trends, TZTEK officially entered the field of PCB special equipment. Faced with new fields and needs, TZTEK set up a PCB special equipment R&D team and began to develop special equipment for the whole process of PCB. Benefiting from TZTEK's excellent industrial vision capability platform, TZTEK's PCB business has achieved remarkable R&D results in multiple process links after more than two years of development.
By the end of 2021, the sales volume of TZTEK LDI laser direct imaging equipment exceeded 100 units, and it won the "Best New Product Contribution Award in the PCB Industry" of the Guangdong Circuit Board Industry Association with its high stability, high production capacity and high analysis. PCB defect detection equipment such as AVI and AOI will also be gradually introduced to the market in 2021 and will receive many praises.
As a new business segment of the company, TZTEK's PCB business achieved an operating income of 66.84 million yuan in 2021, ushering in a "good start". So far, TZTEK's PCB business has developed nearly 100 customers around the world, including a number of domestic head PCB manufacturing enterprises.
TZTEK PCB special equipment to help the intelligent development of the industry
As TZTEK's first product in the PCB field, LDI Laser Direct Imaging Equipment is an important step for TZTEK to open up the situation in the field of PCB special equipment.
TZTEK in view of the current domestic LDI high-end market share is monopolized by foreign equipment, high equipment unit price, harsh use of the environment, high maintenance costs, low production capacity, and domestic equipment is generally difficult to meet the industry requirements in terms of accuracy, decisively aimed at the high-end market, has developed a variety of LDI models specifically for the FPC industry, MSAP process and high-end carrier board industry, and gradually gained popularity in the LDI high-end market.
At the same time, TZTEK recently launched a three-wavelength DI equipment for solder-proof inks and a super-large table model for some PCB head enterprises to improve the demand for technological innovation in the size of the workpiece, and a roll-type LDI model for the new energy industry, etc., to achieve full coverage of the model from the inner/outer layer of the line, the solder-proof process, and the full coverage from 6μm to 35μm accuracy.
Technically, TZTEK LDI adopts a new optical system design, which basically realizes the maintenance-free optical system, reduces the user's maintenance cost, and improves the image quality. The new DMD control technology, data processing speed increased by more than 30%, greatly improved the production capacity of the equipment, the use of flight shooting technology, the alignment time shortened by 50%, the integration of sky vision algorithm, fusion calibration, compensation algorithm, gray scale compensation and other technologies, in the alignment, linewith and other aspects of accuracy have reached the industry's top level.
In the field of PCB special equipment, in addition to process equipment, testing equipment is also quite important. For precision electronic components, subtle defects will also lead to deviations in the functional realization of finished electronic equipment, so the quality control of the PCB must be paid enough attention, and in multiple aspects of the PCB process, defect detection equipment is indispensable.
TZTEK AOI/AVI defect detection equipment condenses a number of technologies such as TZTEK optical detection, autonomous Cam analysis and AI deep learning, and has the characteristics of high precision, high resolution and high efficiency.
AOI automatic optical inspection equipment is connected to the etching line, automatically detects the size of the board, automatically adapts, achieves the effect of optimal drawing, greatly reduces labor costs, and is widely used in defect detection of PCB process lines. As the gatekeeper of the final inspection link of the PCB process, the AVI automatic visual inspection equipment strictly controls the factory of PCB products, and is also a window to promote the improvement of PCB processes to meet the high-quality needs of PCB manufacturers.
At present, intelligent manufacturing has become an inevitable trend in the transformation and upgrading of domestic manufacturing industry. Compared with pcB equipment suppliers with relatively single business coverage, TZTEK has more than ten years of deep cultivation and accumulation in the industrial field, as a partner of more than 4,000 mid-to-high-end industrial customers around the world, TZTEK will rely on years of technological innovation and experience accumulation such as machine vision, software algorithms, motion control, etc., to provide competitive intelligent products and services according to the needs of customers at different stages of PCB.
All along, TZTEK has always adhered to the "customer is the superior" business philosophy, in the PCB business, TZTEK will continue to integrate and upgrade the advanced technology in the field of special equipment, continue to expand the PCB key process and market segments, successively launch more PCB processes, testing equipment such as drilling machines, placement machines, etc., accelerate the opening of the PCB whole process link, provide more solutions for the PCB industry, and create greater value for customers with better products and services.
