The SP600 from Essemtec combines the convenience of a batch printer with the advantages of a fully automatic system. Due to the shuttle system the print table can be flexibly designed with a standard fixation or a customer specific substrate holder. The integrated vision system and the automatic print process control guarantee perfect printing results independent of the operator. The printer is a perfect solution for difficult printing tasks. Due to its shuttle system any kind of substrate holders can be used. This enables printing of solder paste onto PCB, conductive glue printing on flex circuits and special paste application on ceramic on one single system.
The shuttle system also simplifies loading and unloading of substrates. The print table is motorized in 4 axes (x, y, c and theta). This allows the automatic alignment of the substrate to the stencil. Two vision cameras measure reference structures and calculate the necessary offset. The whole printing process is fully programmable and can only be changed by the process specialist with special software rights.
The batch printer features an operation software with a job documentation system. Everything can be explained with pictures and graphics. Changeover is an easy task as the operator can see in real which squeegee or stencil or tension frame must be installed. Due to the good user guidance the printing system is ready in less than 5 minutes for new job.
As a standard, the printer comes prepared for 29 ” stencil frames. The standard substrate holder is designed for single or double sided PCB up to 450 x 500 mm (17.7 x 19.7 ”) in size. Rubber or metal squeegees with a length of up to 500 mm can be used. The model SP600-USC additionally features an automatic stencil cleaning (dry, wet, vacuum) which guarantees a constant printing quality even with very fine structures or larger series. The printer has been designed for the use in a medium volume production or as a stand-alone printer for specialties or to cover peak loads.
