Advanced PCBs are complex multi-layer printed circuit boards (PCBs) with significantly more layers than standard multi-layer boards. These advanced PCBs are crucial for high-end, high-precision electronic devices, which are typically found in industries like industrial equipment, instrumentation, automotive electronics, aviation, military applications, communication systems, complex computing, and space technology.
When designing and manufacturing Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), one common yet often overlooked issue is warpage. Warping occurs when the PCB bends or twists, leading to alignment issues during assembly. This deformation can cause misalignment of components, poor solder joints, and even failure of the final product.
In modern electronic devices, the performance of control boards directly impacts the reliability and accuracy of the entire system. Whether in industrial automation, medical devices, or consumer electronics, data acquisition and signal processing boards (DAQ and Signal Processing PCBs) play a crucial role. To ensure that the system can efficiently and accurately process signals from sensors and other electronic components, optimizing PCB design is essential.
We explore how to optimize data acquisition and signal processing capabilities for control boards in high-precision PCB manufacturing and provide practical tips to help you achieve high-performance electronic systems.

A printed circuit board (PCB) consists of an insulating board on which copper layers and signal lines are etched or printed. The number of layers on an industrial PCB can range from one to eight or more as the complexity of the circuit increases.
There are many varieties of printed circuit boards in terms of the materials used in their manufacture. Depending on the material, the choice of material determines the properties of any circuit board. Among the various options, high temperature FR4 is one of the high-end materials used in high temperature PCBs.
In the era of smart manufacturing, industrial robots are transforming the production landscape with enhanced efficiency, precision, and safety. Central to this evolution is the indispensable role of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Acting as the “nervous system” of robots, PCBs support signal transmission, control functions, and intelligent decision-making. As robotics technology advances, so too does the design and functionality of PCBs.
A via is a small hole on a PCB that connects different layers electrically. Structurally, a via consists of a drill hole and a pad.
Among our other products, we specialize in providing industrial PCB assemblies that require high reliability and precision. Since electronic devices used in industrial applications need to be very stable and suitable for use in harsh conditions, industrial printed circuit boards also need to follow strict standards to thrive in industrial environments.
An annular ring refers to the area of copper that surrounds the drilled hole (via) in a PCB. In multi-layer PCBs, vias are essential for connecting various layers. The annular ring ensures strong electrical conductivity between these layers, as it provides the necessary copper coverage around the hole.
