How are lightplates manufactured?
IDD designs lightplates using a CAD/CAM system for modeling. CNC milling centers are used to machine acrylic panels and the circuit board. Automated paint machines and patented CCD camera/computer systems are used for applying the paint. Indicia (panel legends, logos and graphics) are applied using a patented laser etching process. Spectroradiometers and/or photometers are used for color and luminance verification throughout the production process. These highly automated processes optimize production for consistency in quality year over year at a competitive price.
