According to the company the Trans-Stencil-Vision feature provides SP 200-AV2 with higher levels of speed, accuracy and reliability than other printers with a PCB shuttle mechanism due to the direct PCB adjustment in the final position and immediate printing readiness without any further PCB movements. The vision system features new cameras with higher resolution and integrated LED-based lighting, allowing it to operate more precisely and faster than in the previous model. The cameras are now mounted using quick fix, spring-operated clamps. Integrated rulers help to easily memorize the individual camera position. Therefore, the time needed for set up or changeover is reduced significantly. The newly designed print head comes standard with a continually operating squeegee-pressure control. This ensures constant contact pressure over the entire print movement and, for example, automatically accommodates for small steps at the PCB edges. This is the reason why the stencil printer can print so close to edges. Metal and synthetic squeegee blades can be used, and the printing movement is programmable for forward and backward actions. The printer can be operated in highly flexible SMT assembly environments.
The PCB handler is a true ergonomic solution due to the sideward moving loading drawer. The machine controls the entire printing cycle from adjustment to the parallel separation of stencil and PCB after the print stroke is finished. The printing results are precise and of high quality, and can efficiently be reproduced with small and large batches. SP 200-AV2 offers a 23 ” stencil frame system with a print area of 360 x 400 mm free of any license fees. The system software follows a clear and logic concept, making machine operation self-explanatory.
