CAMTEK INTRODUCES MUSTANG,
A NEW AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL INSPECTION OF
FINISHED HIGH DENSITY PCB FOR MOBILE PRODUCTS
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel April 22, 2008 Camtek Ltd. (NASDAQ: CAMT; TASE: CAMT), announced today the introduction of Mustang Camteks new line of automated systems for optical inspection of finished high-density PCBs (printed circuit boards) used in the production of mobile consumer products. First systems of Mustang Model 600 have already been installed at customer sites.
Camtek will exhibit the Mustang at the KPCA show in Seoul, Korea, booth N101, from April 23 to 25.
Automated inspection of mobile consumer products is a new, growing potential market segment, said Yuval Agami, marketing manager and newly-appointed VP of Camteks PCB inspection products. The high density of printed circuit boards in these products increases their sensitivity to defects. At the final manufacturing stages the boards are at their maximum value, and so is the complexity of the defects. Replacing manned microscopes by automated inspection makes sense to more and more manufacturers. We developed the Mustang to answer this need for fast, reliable and consistent defect detection. We expect that t that the warm welcome it has already received from first customers signals Camteks future success in this emerging market segment.
Camtek also launched today a new website in Korean http://www.camtekorea.co.kr. The new site follows the growth of Camteks customer base in Korea. It joins the existing sites for China (www.camtek.cn), Taiwan (www.camtek.tw) and Japan (www.camtek.jp). All sites can also be accessed directly from Camteks main web site www.camtek.co.il, www.camtekusa.com or www.camtek.be.
ABOUT CAMTEKS
MUSTANG
