Aspocomp invests in new drilling machines

Printed circuit board manufacturer Aspocomp Group Oyj has bolstered its production capabilities with an investment in two new 6-spindle drilling machines. The company states that the machines represent the best available technology on the market and significantly advance Aspocomp's drilling capacity and technological readiness.

Drilling is a critical stage in PCB manufacturing, defining the electrical interconnections between layers. The accuracy, stability, and consistency of these holes directly impact signal integrity, reliability, and overall product performance. Aspocomp notes that its drilling process utilizes optical alignment, real-time process control, and continuous accuracy management, combined with deep application expertise.

The company emphasizes that high-technology applications require drilling with micron-level positioning accuracy, tight diameter and depth control, and consistent hole quality even in complex structures. Aspocomp's advanced capabilities include backdrilling for signal integrity, high aspect ratio drilling for thick boards, and high-speed/deep drilling for demanding materials and layer counts.

This investment supports Aspocomp's technology roadmap and long-term growth by strengthening its core manufacturing processes. The new drilling machines feature advanced capabilities such as non-contact tool measurement and automated accuracy control, aiming to ensure consistent quality, repeatability, and long-term process stability. The company continues to develop its capabilities to deliver reliable PCBs for demanding applications.
