Aspocomp Invests in New Drilling Machines to Boost PCB Production

Aspocomp Group Oyj has recently invested in two new six-spindle drilling machines to support its technology roadmap and expand manufacturing capacity. This acquisition marks a significant step forward in the company's ability to produce high-performance printed circuit boards (PCBs).

The drilling process is critical for establishing the electrical interconnections between layers in PCBs. The accuracy and consistency of this step directly impact signal integrity, reliability, and the overall performance of the final product. Aspocomp emphasizes that drilling is a high-precision process at the company.

Aspocomp's drilling process relies on optical alignment, real-time process control, and continuous accuracy management, combined with deep application expertise. This approach enables precise positioning, consistent hole quality, and the capability to handle complex designs, including those requiring micron-level accuracy.

The new machines are expected to enhance capabilities in areas such as backdrilling for improved signal integrity and high aspect ratio drilling for thicker multilayer boards. They also support high-speed drilling and precision alignment for High-Density Interconnect (HDI) applications, while improving process stability and defect prevention.

This investment is part of Aspocomp's ongoing program to strengthen its core manufacturing processes and support long-term growth. The company aims to continue developing its capabilities to deliver highly reliable PCBs for demanding applications by combining advanced equipment with process expertise.
