MPM Accela printer now comes with Benchmark 2.0 machine operating software. Is said to offer significant post-print inspection enhancements; integration of barcode scanning for product traceability and process verification; singulated processing of indexed Auer boat substrates, and support for CAMX machine data streaming per the IPC-2541 specification. Includes SpeedVision inspection architecture. Said to increase the speed of contrast-based pad coverage inspection and texture-based BridgeVision and StencilVision through the use of full field-of-view processing, rapid image acquisition and optimized camera travel. Decrease in inspection time reportedly ranges from 40 to 70%.

The real-time top-side preheating module is for high-mass assemblies. Promotes draw of solder through barrel to the board’s top side. Provides internal continuous preheat during selective soldering. Can be used as the primary preheating function or to maximize productivity when used in combination with discrete pre-heaters to maintain board temp. during soldering operation. An optical pyrometer reads actual PCB temperature with real-time, closed-loop control.
