Recently, a client from the electronics industry hired Advanced Technology Supply, Inc. to manufacture various shapes and sizes of masking tape. This special tape was specifically designed for masking certain circuit board areas during the conformal coating process. Made from ATS668 polyester material, this tape contained no silicone release coat or adhesive.
To begin this process, we first used a single knife slitter to cut the base material. We then used our rotary die cutting machine, which was able to uphold a (+/-) .01 of an inch precision tolerance, to cut the tape into both rectangles and squares measuring anywhere from ¼ of an inch to 1 inch in size. With our advanced die cutting technology, we were able to cut the tape to print - meeting our client's exact job specifications - and deliver our customer's finished product within a 2 week turnaround period.
