Over the coming months Fastrack's capabilities will be upgraded with new placement machines, the updating of the vapour phase oven and the introduction of a DEK 03i printer.
According to Garry Myatt, Sales and Marketing Director of Exception's PCB business: "Chip designers are increasingly looking for more functionality from PCBs and substrates that are reducing in size".
"Industries such as computing, telecommunications and defence are constantly pushing forward the technical barriers to gain more processing power, without a rise in temperature or circuit failure".
"Through a process of continual research into identifying new technologies and manufacturing methods to optimise the efficiency of the components and boards we produce, we have developed a range of leading-edge solutions".

Abacus Group has reviewed its performance for the financial year ending 30th September 2002, and confirms that trading is in line with current market expectations.
"In order to safeguard the technology behind them, we have recently trademarked and patented the names of some of our most innovative processes".
"For example, our microvia tower process, eXMVT, allows standard microvias to be placed directly on top of each other, thus reducing hole density and increasing routing density".
"Similarly, our VteX solution allows us to stack or tower microvias sequentially, either side of a central core".
"This is critical within the design of HDI PCBs to evaluate micro ball grid arrays (BGAs) of 0.4mm and below - and we are the only manufacturers in Europe able to provide this level of complexity consistently in-house".
"Indeed, the manufacture of PCBs with features as small as 0.3mm is now becoming an everyday occurrence at Exception".
"The technology behind the microvia tower also played a part in the development of our eXFPT service offering, which enables the production of a planar surface within microvias and through vias using specially adapted chemistry, followed by standard imaging and plating processes".
"We invest heavily in developing methods such as these - and in the very latest technology available - in order to provide our clients with the most innovative solutions possible".
"Exception is one of Europe's foremost HDI manufacturers and it is our passion for innovation and pushing at the boundaries of development that have put us there", he concludes.
