Curing stage (5) After its removal, the multilayer must rest at room temperature for at least
16 h, to allow the adhesive to cure completely.
Note: An incompletely cured adhesive can smear the inner layers during
drilling, thus no longer guaranteeing proper through-hole plating.
5.1.2 Configuration
The MultiPress S is equipped with a permanently configured LPKF press
profile and six freely configurable profiles.
LPKF Set The press profile LPKF Set can be used for standard multilayers
comprising 4,6 and 8 layers of layout 200 x 275 mm (7.87“ x 10.83“)
. To
guarantee optimum processing at the parameters listed in table 1, the
base material must have a size of 305 x 229 mm (12" x 9").
Variable profiles The press profiles available for individual configuration Profile 1 –
Profile 6 have been preset to the parameters listed in table 1. In this way,
depending on the requirements, only few changes must be made.
