Accu-Tech Laser Processing, Inc. opened for business inJanuary 1977 in Beaverton, Oregon. Originally named Spec Industries,Inc., the company's original charter was to utilize carbon dioxide(CO2) laser technology to produce microcircuit substrates for thehybrid circuit industry. In the mid 1970's, laser technology was almostsolely a scientific endeavor with very limited industrial applications.However, the ability to drill, machine and scribe very hard ceramicplates was an application that we saw as a natural one for theembryonic laser technology. Our initial goal was to make quality holesin high purity alumina ceramic for $.05 per hole ("a nickel a hole" wasour initial advertising slogan) which we accomplished in early 1978.Since then, productivity improvements using multi-beam lasers coupledwith advanced laser circuitry modifications has enabled hole drillingprices to tumble up to 1/100th of our initial goal in many productionprograms.
Over twenty years (20) after our formation, Accu-Tech still uses ouradvanced CO2 laser expertise in many sectors of the electronics marketas well as in segments of the medical device, architectural, defenseand consumer industries. We also now have UV laser technology at ourdisposal for use in materials such as plastics and certain metals wheresmaller geometries are required. This MICROMACHINING capabilityprovides Accu-Tech with an exciting new tool to address the developingapplications in today's increasingly "smaller and denser" world.
Located in north San Diego county in a 13,000 square foot facilitysince 1979, Accu-Tech employs approximately 30 people. Many of theseemployees have been with our firm for more than a decade. As atestimony to our laser expertise, our technology has been used to startseveral direct competitors and systems integration firms.
