The stencil printer SP900 is specially suited for the requirements of a high-mix mass production. Reportedly it features an excellent reliability and an extremely short changeover time between jobs. The printer offers an automatic stencil cleaning system with vacuum and 2 D-inspection for stencil and substrate. Set-up and changeover of this printer is fast and straight forward due to its auto-setup functionality. The transport system and the PCB stopper are automatically set to fit the substrates dimensions. Stencil positioning is an easy task, too, using the automatic draw-in system, which pulls the frame to the programmed place and clamps it. Changeover effort is minimal with the stencil printer, which increases productivity and saves manpower. A specific feature of the printer is its vision system. It travels between the stencil and the substrate and contains two cameras with one RGB-LED illumination for each of them. The lighting colour is programmable individually which guarantees maximum contrast on every material. Therefore, the image processing is much faster, more accurate and more reliable than with single-colour illumination systems.
The printer offers a large spectrum of applications: Screen and stencil frames up to 29 x 29 ” can be used, smaller frames are fixed in a universal adapter. The PCB transport and clamping system holds substrates with any thickness from 0.3 to 5 mm. The extra fine clamping plates enable printing very close to the edges of the PCB. The printing format can be up to 608 x 540 mm. However this printer requires a footprint of 1.3 sqm only. The SP900 offers much functionality on a small room but also provides easy operation and reliability. One of its secrets is the operation software which belongs to the reportedly very good printer control system. The intuitive user guidance with large help system and process information helps teaching beginners and offers valuable tips for specialists.
From June 2008 the SP900 printer will be at disposition in the new Application Center of Christian Koenen GmbH in Munich, Germany. Interested customers can optimize their print processes in the technology center of one of the leading stencil manufacturers. Beside printers, professional support, measuring and quality assurance equipment is also provided. With this machine, users also have access to Essemtec’s remote maintenance system and to the MyEssemtec.com user portal in the worldwide web. According to the company, Essemtec is the only manufacturer to cover the entire production process, from printers and/or dispensers, to Pick-and-Place and soldering equipment. Therefore, customers benefit from unparallel knowledge and the ability to select, from a single source, a complete process solution to meet their requirements.
