STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – At Productronica booth A5:337, MYDATA automation will unveil the MY500 stencil-free printer.
The machine uses Jet Printing Technology to shoot volumes of solder paste at 500 dots/sec. (1.8 million dots/h).
Because it needs no stencils, operators can change the print program in a matter of seconds and can control the volume of solder paste deposits for each pad.
Other benefits to stencil-free production include: • No waiting for stencils to arrive from manufacturers • No stencil production costs • No hazardous solvents to clean stencils • Instant control over paste volumes on pads • Flexible programming possibilities • Reduction of errors associated with screen printers • Lower consumption of solder paste.
To develop the jet printing technology, the company teamed up with solder paste suppliers such as NIHON ALMIT Co. and Senju Metal Industry Co.
ASHBURN, VA – Zestron America will showcase its latest lead-free cleaning process solutions at booth 5609 during ATExpo from Sept. 27-29 in Rosemont, IL. The company will also feature its recent advances in PCB, stencil/misprint and maintenance cleaning applications.
The applications technology and sales team will be available to answer precision cleaning questions.
As part of the SMTA International technical session series, Zestron’s application technology manager, Umut Tosun, will discuss “Effective Flux Removal Under Stringent Environmental Limitations.” The presentation will take place on Sept. 27 at 1:30 in Room 5 during SMT2: Post Assembly Cleaning of the Circuit Board-New Concerns, Requirements and Developments.
DEK will launch the VectorGuard Nickel Laser Cut stencil range at ATExpo on Sept. 27-29. The event will include DEK’s high accuracy mass imaging solutions in booth 5400.
The stencils are designed to address the challenges presented by lead-free, accommodating the effects of changing paste rheology on aperture release characteristics. Said to deliver a high level of paste volume repeatability to optimize process yield and uniformity.
DEK representatives will provide lead-free advice to delegates wanting to learn more. Clive Ashmore, global applied process engineering group manager at DEK, will also be presenting a lead-free paper - Mass Imaging of Lead-Free Material.
