South Bend, IN -- To accommodate the continued growth of our thick film screen business and to provide quick response to critical customer requirements, MicroScreen is continuing its expansion plans for 2010.

A second exposure facility has been added to the existing thick film screen fabrication facility. This new exposure room includes a NuArc Tri-Light Exposure System which will accommodate frame sizes up to 42" x 60".

The entire exposure process—from vacuum drawdown through screen exposure and vacuum release—is accomplished with a single keystroke.

MicroScreen now has two exposure rooms for thick film screens, operating simultaneously, in addition to the newly-established facility for large format screens such as for printing solar cells, membrane switch assemblies, flex circuitry, heaters, etc.

Both exposure rooms utilize the MicroScreen designed Pattern Alignment Fixture. Using customer supplied artwork and MicroScreen applied orientation lines, the fixture offers an accurate and cost-effective solution for positioning artwork onto the sensitized screen.

The Pattern Alignment Fixture also increases yields in the customer's printing operation due to screen-to-screen image registration accuracy.

MicroScreen is a manufacturer of screens for printing on thick film circuits, solar cells, membrane switches as well as laser cut and electroformed stencils for p.c. boards.
