The printer comes in three parts: the printer itself, the printing cassette and cartridge and off-line programming software. Linear motors transfer the paste cassette in the machine, and a laserized instrument measures the board height. The ejection technology that enables printing of paste on the fly is contained inside a lightweight cassette. The cassette holds a replaceable cartridge. It only takes a few seconds to load a cartridge into the cassette. Thanks to the design of the cartridges, solder paste is not exposed to oxygen until it hits the PCB so there is no messy cleaning. Other key benefits include: no more waiting for stencils to arrive from laser cutting; no more stencil costs; no more hazardous solvents to clean stencils; instant control over paste volumes on pads; flexible programming; and lower consumption of paste. The printer can handle boards from 50 x 50 to 508 x 508mm in size, 0.4 to up to 7.0mm thick and up to 5kg in weight.
