Microsectioning

   Robisan Laboratory is prepared for large volume production of microsections which need to target a specific area. We have the ability to drill alignment holes in any coupon or board configuration provided. These holes enable us to place numerous sections in each mount. Lot conformance testing is typically completed by the end of the next business day, after receipt of the coupons.

Whenever possible, many samples are placed in the same mount. This is accomplished through the use of alignment holes and pins. The holes are drilled using a grid on a 10x comparator. This technique allows us to successfully gang mount plated-through holes as small as 0.008 inches finished diameter. (Drill is shown to the left)





Robisan Laboratory primarily uses automated grinding and polishing to prepare samples for inspection.  We use the LECO AP400 to polish our mounts.   (Polisher is shown below)

To prepare the samples we use the following:

Vibrating scribe for permanent marking

0.012 inch diamond cut-off wheels

1 inch diameter mounts

Crystal clear epoxy thermosetting resin
