The Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) Equipment offers auto focus capabilities so that the system can handle different thicknesses of material and rapid job change-overs without expensive tooling.
Using LDI to create the circuit traces gives the PCB manufacturers a lot of advantages, most of them pertaining to weaknesses of using a Photo-tool. Eliminating the need of a Photo-tool removes alignment issues, light refraction issues, and those imperfections related to environmental variations.
Also, with LDI, PCB factories can achieve the development of images that require more precision, and resolution, due to the computer's enhanced optical alignment, that automatically compensates distortion on the materials.
Changes to the required images, are also easier to achieve with LDI: with the traditional approach, the smallest mistake on the Photo-tool, required the factory to produce a new one, wasting time and money; however, with LDI, these changes became a matter of updating the design file, which can be done more consistently and cost-effectively.
