MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel,
December 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: CAMT), today announced that
Gryphon SL, its one-stop-shop solder mask and legend deposition
system, has won the Global Technology Award in the
environmentally-friendly product category.
The 11th Annual Global Technology Awards were held at
Productronica 2015 in Munich, the
world's leading trade fair for electronics development and
production. The awards showcase the best technical innovations of
production equipment, materials and electronic manufacturing
services (EMS) in the past 12 months. The awards are adjudicated by
an international panel of judges and are globally recognized as the
most prestigious and respected awards in the EMS industry.
Rafi Amit,
Camtek's Chairman and CEO, commented, "I am very
proud of our win at the Global Technology Awards. Gryphon SL is
part of the digital fabrication revolution, bringing many
advantages to the printed analog electronics industry.
Digitalization of the PCB industry will enable standardization,
precision and the ability to design more sophisticated and
condensed PCBs. Camtek will be an active player, leading the
digitalization of the PCB industry with additional products and
applications supporting this revolution."
Added Mr. Amir Tzhori, Vice President PCB
Division, " Using Functional Inkjet Technology (FIT)
allows controlled material deposition, by additive printing of
solder mask only where it is needed. Apart from being much more
economical compared to traditional subtractive technologies,
printing with FIT requires almost no waste treatment. Furthermore,
using Gryphon SL eliminates the need for a number of sub-processes
as well as significantly shortening the final curing process.
By removing several traditional process stages, our
technology greatly simplifies solder mask application, thereby
speeding the overall production cycle, whilst improving yield and
providing major environmental advantages."
Mr. Trevor Galbraith,
Editor-in-Chief, Global SMT & Packaging,
said, "Our judges viewed each and every entry and in some
categories, the competition was very close. In this category,
Camtek's entry stood out from the other products entered, having
one of the biggest impacts on the electronics industry in
2014/15."
