With the introduction of a new family of Direct Imaging (DI) solutions for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) solder masks, ORBOTECH LTD enters a new market in the electronics production systems. The company estimates that the Direct Imaging, one of the methods utilized in imaging solder mask layers, is an increasingly important segment between $70M-$90M per annum.

The Orbotech Diamond DI system addresses the solder mask manufacturing needs of the High Density Interconnect (HDI) and Multilayer board (MLB) segments of the PCB industry by offering high power and throughput. Beta site testing by three different customers in diverse geographical regions has resulted in orders from all three PCB manufacturers.

“With the demand for smaller, sleeker and wearable electronics, today’s manufacturers require PCB flexible production solutions that enable them to produce compact, high-quality and low-cost PCBs with multiple competitive features in quick turnaround conditions” said Mr. Arik Gordon, Corporate Vice President and President of the PCB Division at Orbotech Ltd.

Orbotech Diamond DI Solution utilizes high power light source for maximum throughput for common solder resist, and wide wavelength spectrums to ensure best fit for conventional solder resists. Nuvogo 1000 DI Solution consists of High Depth of Focus (DoF) for highest line quality on challenging topographies, and MultiWave Laser Technology simultaneously generates a dual wavelength beam for maximum robustness on a wide range of solder and patterning resists.

Orbotech’s revenues for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $190.5 million, up 13.9% compared with $167.3 million in 2014. Revenues for the first nine months of 2015 totaled $564.3 million, compared with $385.3 million in the first nine months of 2014.

The Company expects revenues for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015 to be in the range of $184 million to $192 million and $748 million to $756 million, respectively, and gross margin for both the fourth quarter and full year of 2015 of approximately 45%.
