Engineering considerations
- Repeated bend life
- Moving joint sections suit flex or rigid-flex construction, with bend radius and routing direction fixed at design stage. State the required bend cycles when enquiring so engineering can assess it.
- Drive and signal coexistence
- Servo drive coexists with sensor and communication signals on the same assembly, calling for impedance consistency and interference separation. Impedance is controlled to ±5%.
Applicable board types
The board types below are the ones that come up most often in robotics applications. Each link goes to that board type's capability page with material, layer-count and process ranges. Combined constructions such as hybrid lamination or embedded copper are also available.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does a robotics project take from enquiry to prototype?
- Quotations are returned within 30 minutes as a rule. Expedited prototype lead times run by layer count: double-sided 24 hours, 4-layer 48 hours, 6–8 layer 72 hours, 10–12 layer 96 hours; single-stage HDI at 6 layers is 48 hours. Volume lead times are set by order quantity.
- Which inspection and material documents can you supply?
- As standard we supply a certificate of conformance, material certifications with lot records, and electrical test records; impedance test reports and microsection analysis are available on request. Acceptance can be run to IPC-6012 Class II or Class III, which must be stated on the order.
Stack-up, materials and acceptance criteria are confirmed per project.
Routine enquiries are answered within 30 minutes. Once you upload Gerber files and technical requirements, engineering returns manufacturability findings together with the quotation, so design conflicts surface before production rather than after.
