LPKF Laser & Electronics (Wilsonville, OR) has announced the release of the low cost SL740 surface-mount technology stencil laser cutter. The system is designed for low- and medium-volume stencil production, cutting up to 3,000 apertures per hour.

The cutter uses the same proprietary high power infrared laser source compliant with laser safety class 1 as found in LPKF's higher-end models. The entry-level system provides high accuracy and reliability, making it ideal for start-up stencil businesses or a backup system for established shops. It offers a cutting area of 29 x 29 in. and accommodates all common stencils, including stencils for quick release frames. Mounting fixtures are provided for both bare sheets and framed stencils.

"With the introduction of the SL740, we are excited to better address the entry-level market space, while maintaining the signature reliability and accuracy of LPKF's products," said Stephan Schmidt, vice president of LPKF North America.
