| Anglia Circuits invests in a drilling machine | |
As circuit boards become more complex, the holes are getting smaller whilst the hole count is getting bigger.
This means that we have to reduce stack heights when the boards are taking longer to drill. In order to increase our capacity, we have installed a two spindle Wessel Pro-sys drilling machines. |

| Anglia Circuits invests in Registration System | |
With the ever increasing complexity of circuit boards, Anglia Circuits have invested in a multiline tooling system and a new exposure unit.
This will enable Anglia Circuits to work at much tighter tolerances in the photomec area with greater repeat accuracy. |

| Japan Earthquake | |
It’s hard to detach from the human tragedy in Japan to focus on the commercial consequences of the current troubles, but this is what has been fortcoming from laminators at the CPCA show. It seems the biggest single area of concern is that of glass yarn supply, which will inevitably knock-on to affect the supply of laminates and prepregs. Nittobo, the biggest yarn producer in the world and who supply pretty-well all the glass weavers, have stopped production of yarn as they do not have enough power to run a continuous process. They are presently keeping their glass furnaces on standby, but if they are forced to shut them down, it could take months to bring them back on stream. The knock-on [consequence] will not be immediate, as there would appear to be reasonable inventories of laminate, but there is concern that if yarn capacity is not restored within the coming few weeks, the weavers will suffer shortages which will impact on glass fabric availability. There will inevitably be price increases, which will be passed on sooner or later to PCB fabricators. In parallel with the laminate situation, there will also be effects on component production in Japan, which may have an indirect reverse effect on laminate demand if there are not the components available to build the assemblies. |

| Happy 40th Birthday | |
Anglia Circuits Ltd was 40 years old in February 2009. From a garage outside Cambridge before the invention of computers, remote controls and cassette players we have travelled through the growth of silicon fen and the world wide demand for electronic products. There have been four recessions, the shift of work to the Far East and a reduction in circuit board companies from over 400 to just over 40 and we are still here. We would like to say a big thank you to our staff, customers and suppliers some of whom have been with us for almost the whole journey. |

| Anglia Circuits buys automated scoring machine | |
Due to the increased demand for scoring together with both the tighter tolerance and complexity being demanded from our customers, Anglia Circuits purchased a Lohr Herrmann CNC S&M jump scorer in August 2008. |

| Photomec Renovation | |
Anglia Circuits is pleased to announce the completion of the reorganisation of the photomec area in July 2008. A new temperature controlled clean room has been constructed to house both the laminators and the printers. The room is held at a constant 19C which will maintain the stability of the artwork. The cleanliness and positive air pressure prevents foreign particles from coming into contact with the artworks which could produce shorts and opens on the track layout. An increase in the quality of work coming from the department has already been noticed. |
