Bullseye®
Bullseye® is a unique, innovative entry material that offers the user the best possible accuracy on a full range of diameters used in PCB manufacturing. Bullseye® is a combination of a non-contaminating carrier sheet and our proprietary coating, providing a unique surface for the drill to center and stabilize before entering the laminate. The proprietary coating is engineered to machine effortlessly without wrapping around the tool, turning to dust and evacuated by the vacuum system. Bullseye® resists scratching, denting, and damage from the pressure foot.

FEATURES:
  • Provides Excellent Accuracy – Bullseye® allows you to maintain hole location from the entry side to the exit side of the stack.
  • Minimize Drill Deflection – Bullseye® proprietary coating holds the drill immediately upon contact, creating a perfect bushing, eliminating deflection.
  • Excellent Visualization – Bullseye® is a brilliant green which enables superior visualization during and after drill.
  • One Product For All Drill Sizes – Bullseye® can be used for all drill diameters from 0.10mm – 6.35mm.
  • Easy To Handle – Bullseye® lays flat on the PCB stack and will not soften by heat. The material does not require gloves or any special handling techniques.
  • Guarantee – Behind every LCOA product stands the LCOA guarantee: Any LCOA product proven defective will be replaced or refunded.

EO+
EO+ is a combination of special aluminum laminated to both sides of a pure cellulose core. While competitively priced, EO+ is engineered specifically for printed circuit board drilling. LCOA offers a wide range of special features that benefit the LCOA user.

FEATURES:
  • Minimizes Burring – EO+ provides a flat, hard surface for maximum support to minimize burring.
  • Increases Hole Quality – EO+ is constructed of premium quality materials that will not contaminate the hole wall.
  • Reduces Drilling Temperatures – EO+ offers excellent heat dissipation characteristics resulting in reduced drill wear and minimized heat related hole defects.
  • Increases Drilling Accuracy/Precision – EO+ reduces drill breakage and improves positional accuracy due to its unique compressible core.
  • Return on Investment – EO+ used in tandem with LCOA’s backup materials provides the most effective combination to reduce the need for expensive deburring and hole cleaning procedures.
  • Guarantee – Behind every LCOA product stands the LCOA guarantee: Any LCOA product proven defective will be replaced or refunded.

Solid Aluminum

Burr free holes begin with Solid Aluminum. Panel after panel, hit after hit, Solid Aluminum will enable the drilling of consistent, high quality holes. Solid Aluminum reduces heat, eliminates burrs, and improves registration resulting in higher quality holes, enhanced productivity and an improved bottom line. Tension leveled Solid Aluminum meets any flatness requirement and is degreased for contamination free drilling or lamination. Solid Aluminum is offered in a range of thicknesses to match specific chip load applications and is cut and tooled to individual requirements.

  • Higher Brinell hardness - Higher yield and shear strength.
  • Tension leveled and degreased for contamination free holes, closer tolerances and improved registration.
  • A superior heat sink for the drill bit.
  • The inherent high melting temperature of approximately 650° C provides for clean drill bits and quick ejection of chips.
  • Permits lower surface feet per minute drilling and an increased feed rate.
  • Eliminates hole wall smearing thereby increasing the life of the drill bit.
  • Eliminates burrs by reducing the back pressure on the drill bit upon entry.
  • Varying thicknesses from 0.18 mm (0.007") to 0.38 mm (0.015") for specific chip load applications.
  • Recyclable.
