Garbsen, May 2006 – LPKF introduces the LPKF MultiCut at the SMT 2006 show in Nuremburg. The MultiCut, a laser cutting system designed especially for SMT stencil work, is a model of efficiency.
 
The MultiCut features FastCut technology, a specially designed beam deflection system that enables the LPKF MultiCut to cut small apertures without moving the table. Not only does this result in greater stability because of reduced table movement, but the cutting speed improves tremendously. The MultiCut cuts SMT stencils at unprecedented speeds. The system meets virtually any upcoming demands for higher aperture count and higher density.

The new LPKF LongLife laser lasts for thousands of operating hours before requiring changes. The laser is most efficient, using 85% less power than normal, and doesn't even require external cooling radiators, but still efficiently cuts material as thick as 600 µm. This is perfect even for cutting small parts. Micromachining with the LPKF MultiCut is opening up new business perspectives.

The final element is the professional EasyEdit software, featuring a variety of tools for offering the user ultimate control of fast and easy aperture modification.

The price/performance ratio makes the LPKF MultiCut ideal for both start-ups and established stencil manufacturers seeking incremental capacity.
