In-Process Quality and Preventative Maintenance
It is Electrotek’s philosophy that quality is manufactured into our product and possible failures must be identified as early in the process as possible. Equipment maintenance and in-process inspection points are pivotal in achieving the exceptionally high quality product manufactured at Electrotek.

- Incoming pre-pregs are pressed and categorized by lot number and press thickness.
- First article AOI inspections on all layers.
- AOI is performed on all signal layers, certain power / ground layers as well as mixed signal / planes.
- 100% thickness verification post lamination.
- X-ray pre-drill to optimize drilling accuracy.
- Post drill X-Ray to monitor material movement with ongoing feedback to phototooling.
- In-process micro-sections (as is and stressed) xperformed per manufacturing lot (Per Panel on Mil and Class III)
- X-Ray fluorescence measurements after final finish plate.
Preventative Maintenance (PM)
