Optimum cycle times

The cycle time of each component also has to be minimised to ensure cost efficiency of the laser structuring side of the LPKF-LDS™ method. This is mainly determined by the handling time and the structuring time, which is also proportional to the layout area. The handling time is mainly determined by the number of positions into which the component has to be placed. The number of positions and the layout area should be reduced to a minimum by appropriate component design.
