KAM Circuits Ltd of Calne, Wiltshire, has just taken delivery of a Midata 110 utility workstation, and a Midata 140 Mi-CIM Workstation from GEC Plc’s Marconi unit to speed up printed circuit board production to two days from two weeks: the 110 is a data acquisition and media/code conversion station based on an IBM AT, which can be used where unfamiliar media forms and data formats need to be read and translated into an intermediate language before data is passed to the 140 Mi-CIM; the Mi-CIM package, which has been designed for printed circuit board manufacture, enables KAM to take a set of CAD plot and drilling data and produce production-ready artwork and numerically controlled tooling packages, speeding lead times and raising quality.
