Trackwise completes Improved Harness Technology milestone
UK-based specialist manufacturer of products using printed circuit technology, Trackwise, has announced the successful completion of a major milestone in the development of Improved Harness Technology - the manufacture of a 10metre/30foot six layer flexible multilayer PCB.
Philip Johnston, Trackwise Managing Director, commented: “We are delighted with the results of recent trials. Whether or not this is the largest multilayer printed circuit ever manufactured – the next phase will see Trackwise manufacture a 25metre/80foot multilayer PCB – this is clear demonstration of the core offering of Improved Harness Technology - length-unlimited multilayer printed circuits to replace conventional wire harness or EWIS.”
Improved Harness Technology is a patented, proprietary technology that brings, for the first time, the proven benefits of flexible printed circuits – weight saving, space saving, improved precision, improved reliability – to system level applications.
Trackwise also acknowledged the financial contribution of Innovate UK and the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) to this project.
