Laser Drilling
Due to variables associated with laser drilling, we have outlined the following terms and conditions that supersede Purchase Order Terms and Conditions upon acceptance of a Saturn Electronics Corporation / Saturn Flex Systems quotation. Should you have any question or disagreement with any of the points below, please contact your SEC Inside Sales Representative to arrange for a waiver of any particular point or to cancel Purchase Order.Pricing depends on the laser process or process combinations (routing, skiving, routing & skiving, drilling), systems utilized, and whether 1-sided or 2-sided processing. Pricing is directly related to the total linear inches being routed. Skiving (or area removal of material) is directly related to the total square area removal per board or per panel.
When an order is estimated, it is assumed that the panels will process within known standard laser processes for set materials and quoting models. Unforeseen variations can cause panel pricing to increase due to custom processes necessary to overcome issues with a panel's physical condition or design.
