X1000 datasheet
Automation datasheet
For QTA and short-run productions
When your QTA operation demands maximum imaging throughput, the process flexibility to handle any design complexity and varying batch sizes at consistent high yields
Complex design mastery
Expose the most complex PCB designs with absolute precision — from single, double and multilayer boards to fine-line
Dual application performance
Finest lines at highest speeds — resist patterning (inner/outer layer) and solder mask imaging on a wide range of dry-film and solder mask materials
Faster imaging, rapid turnaround
Industry-leading imaging speed accelerates every print job, maximizes throughput and enables rapid turnaround times that keep your QTA operation ahead of the competition
Universal batch flexibility
Seamlessly transition between prototype runs, small batches, and medium production volumes without reconfiguration or performance compromise
Ultra-fast changeover
Minimal job-setup and changeover times keep your operation agile — run multiple different jobs per shift without productivity losses
Compact design and footprint
Fit into existing lines or tight production areas without facility modifications. Easily reposition between cells or manufacturing areas
For high-volume production
Seamlessly scale to high-volume production without process transfer — same system, same imaging performance, proven results

Limata Care
Keep production running at highest efficiency. Unrivaled equipment uptime with minimal service costs
Industry-leading support
From installation and training, maintenance to optimization — with post-warranty service packages tailored to your process and needs
>90% instant remote resolution
Over 90% of reported or diagnosed “issues” are being solved remotely without on-site support needed
Less on-site service
Smart automated alignment, calibration and real-time remote control (of exposure heads) minimize on-site visits — and unplanned downtime
Virtually no downtime
Best in class MTTR with predictive maintenance and seamless UV-LED “drop-in” replacements that can be applied in under 60 min. No recalibration needed
Reduced spare-parts costs
Fewer exposure heads, use of the long-life UV-LED and smart “anti-aging” compensation — for extended MTBF
Seamless scalability
Upgrade your system with new PX heads in the field with minimal downtime, making sure your capacity keeps pace with customer demands
TCO* and OEE**
Industry-leading direct imaging efficiency. Reduced complexity. Lower TCO*
Highest imaging speed and efficiency
2-3x higher imaging throughput per head enabled by fewer scans over the imaging area
2x higher throughput on conventional solder mask inks enabled by UV+IR imaging
Outstanding imaging quality for superior yields
Best line quality on challenging topographies thanks to 3x higher depth of focus (±500 µm)
Excellent surface and solder mask imaging quality thanks to 3‑wavelength spectrum
Best-in-class availability and reliability
Real-time visibility and predictive control (sensor and SW enabled)
Predictive maintenance capability reduces service and maintenance costs
Lowest TCO* over the equipment lifecycle
Reduced system complexity — from fewer heads
Lower initial CapEx, simplified service and reduced after-sales costs
* Total cost of ownership: all costs of the machine lifecycle inc. maintenance, spare parts and service
** Overall equipment effectiveness: machine performance, quality and availability
