March 14 2017 - Nordson MARCH has won the 2017 New Product Introduction (NPI) Award in the Surface Treatment Equipment category for its ModVIA Plasma Treatment System. The Award, sponsored by Printed Circuit Design and Fab magazine, was presented at a ceremony during IPC APEX 2017, held in San Diego, CA, on February 14, 2017. Nordson MARCH's ModVIA Plasma System is a fully integrated system that doubles its capacity from 4 to 8 cells (8-16 panels) to accommodate manufacturing production growth and to increase capacity for production demands. The design and footprint save floor space while delivering results and technology to treat printed circuit boards for desmear, etchback, and to provide surface activation.
This plasma system fits the needs of small- to medium-sized businesses or R&D institutions that process low-volume, high-mix products. The NPI award, sponsored by Circuits Assembly and Printed Circuit Design and Fab, part of UP Media Group, recognizes creativity and innovation, compatibility with existing technology, cost-effectiveness, expected reliability, flexibility, performance, and user-friendliness.
