Jim Ellis, President of Credence Engineering, Inc. has over 25 years experience in developing state-of-the-art equipment for the Multi-Layer ceramic industry. From the up-front processes of materials prep, through green ceramic processing, through firing, plating, brazing and test, Jim has developed equipment and tooling for virtually every process. In several cases, Jim has developed several generations of a particular process machine. An example is the Via Punch process. Their original punch was a Cladan single punch machine that created 1 via per second. The generation 2 system had eight active via punches and created 8 vias per second. Generation 6 (Medtronic's final punch design used) created 50 vias per second. With hands on experience in finding the smallest details that affect the process and locking down variables, Jim has been instrumental in Medtronic's growth from 100 parts per week with yields on the 40s to 10,000 parts per week with yields in the high nineties and several weeks of 100% yields.
