Printed Circuit Board Preparation

SamplKwick acrylic mounting compound is designed for rapid and effective encapsulation of PCB coupons. The PC-MET and PWB-MET accessories are designed for high volume labs, and where best repeatability and reproducibility is required. Watch this video to see how using these accessories, used with the EcoMet range of grinder-polishers, can improve productivity and provide excellent results in any PCB quality control laboratory.

The printed circuit board industry routinely cross sections copper plated through holes and surface via, a process called microsectioning. Microsectioning has become a standard requirement of printed wiring board quality assurance due to the potential for subsurface defects, and for process control of copper plating thicknesses. This brief video describes the technique.
