HSX / SHENZHEN
A closer look at the manufacturing floor.
Selected stages of PCB fabrication, photographed at HSX. The complete routing depends on the stack-up and manufacturing requirements of each order.
LDI imaging
Direct imaging transfers fine circuit patterns onto the panel. Inner-layer, outer-layer and solder-mask exposure are covered by our LDI equipment.
X-ray target drilling
X-ray target location supports layer registration after lamination, before subsequent drilling and build-up operations.
Laser drilling
Laser equipment forms the microvias used in HDI structures. Via spans and stacked or staggered construction are reviewed against the stack-up.
CNC drilling
Mechanical drilling produces through-holes and defined drill structures. Our drilling workshop supports prototypes and production orders.
Copper deposition
The horizontal copper deposition line prepares hole walls for subsequent copper plating and interlayer connections.
VCP copper plating
Continuous plating equipment supports the copper deposition and via-fill processes used in PCB manufacture.
Automatic optical inspection
AOI checks circuit patterns during fabrication. Detected features are reviewed before boards continue through the process.
Electrical testing
Every board is tested for electrical opens and shorts before shipment. The factory has 27 flying-probe testers and three fixture testers.
Profiling and routing
CNC routing defines the finished board profile and panel features according to the approved fabrication data.
Vacuum packaging
Finished boards are inspected and packed with moisture protection for shipment. Packaging requirements can be specified with the order.

Send your design. Let’s build it properly.
Upload Gerber or ODB++, stack-up and quantities. Standard PCB quotes usually take 30 minutes in working hours; HDI, rigid-flex and special materials usually take up to 24 hours.
