Roll forming is a process used to manufacture flexible circuits in very large quantities. This is the lowest-cost method for the manufacture of flexible circuits. However, it involves substantial tooling, so it is apphcable only for very high volume products. Examples of PCBs manufactured using this method are printer head connections, disk drive head connections, and the circuits used in cameras and camcorders. The PCBs can be single- or double-sided. 

The manufacturing process is illnstrated in Rg. 61.4. Mostly, these films are processed and supplied in roll form. The snrfaces of polyester films and polyimide films undergo special processes such as sandblasting and plasma treatment to achieve a rehable bond strength. A specially blended adhesive resin is coated on the film and dried. Then a copper foil is laminated continuously under appropriate temperature and pressure.The surfaces of the copper foils receive a specific treatment according to the requirements of each laminate s manufacturer. 

Most of the major materials for flexible circuits, such as copper laminates and coverlay films, are supplied in rolled form. The first process of manufacturing is to sUt and cut the rolled materials into workable sizes. It is possible to cut with a manual sharing tool however, an automatic machine is recommended to get an exact size without handling damage. 

Other than the more restricted list of curatives, the formulation components for the one-part epoxy are the same as for the two-part ones. Film adhesives are a special segment of one-part epoxies in that these materials are coated onto release liners and are supplied in roll form to the user. Thus, a typical epoxy film adhesive would be coated onto a paper-backed release liner, dried, and then covered with another release liner, possibly polyethylene. Film adhesives are manufactured in a number of forms including one side tacky or supported by a nonwoven or woven fabric. The adhesive can be placed on the adherend, moved around until it is correctly positioned, and then pressed into place and the other adherend applied. In general, these materials are cured in an autoclave in order to have better control of applied pressure and temperature. 

For the manufacture of medium-shock-resisting grades the preblend of resin, filler and other ingredients does not readily form a hide on the mill rolls. In this case the composition is preblended in an internal mixer before passing on to the mills. 

The actual number of tubes to be installed in the unit. Manufacturing tolerances may require elimination of some tubes that preliminary design layouts and tables indicated might be installed in the unit. Figures 10-25A-Kand Table 10-9 have considered known fabrication tolerances. Sometimes extra tie rods for baffles must be added, or in some cases, eliminated. The outer tube circle limit for each exchanger is determined by the type of shell to be used. That is, (1) if commercial pipe, greater out-of-round tolerances might be required or (2) if formed on shop rolls, the out-of-round tolerance will be known, but not necessarily the same for each diameter shell.
