Micronic Mydata launches the FPS5500 mask writer - offering up to 50% higher productivity
Täby, Sweden - November 1, 2011 - Micronic Mydata AB (publ), listed on NASDAQ OMX Nordic Stockholm, Small Cap: MICR, today launched the FPS5500, a new mask writer aimed at producing photomasks for advanced packaging and a wide variety of other applications, such as touch panels and light emitting diodes (LEDs). The tool sets a new standard as the most productive and precise mask writer within its segment, improving productivity by up to 50% over the previous tool in the FPS5000 product line.
The FPS5500 is designed with flexibility in mind and is a development of the highly reliable FPS5300 system. The system can be equipped with up to three optics resolution levels that are automatically switched between jobs as needed. To further support production flexibility, customers can choose between two different lasers and equip the system with the loader type that suits best.
