Printek AP1818 benchtop surface mount (SMT) printer includes dual squeegee structure and drive mechanism constructed with a four-bar linkage that permits the main squeegee head, gantry and squeegees to be smoothly pushed back. Is said to create effortless tilting and sliding motion that opens stencil area for easy stencil loading and alignment. Employs two high-resolution compact digital cameras mounted on pantograph style articulating arms; cameras out from printer area for ease of set-up. Comes with integrated tooling table, featuring independent X-Y-THETA and Z-height adjustments, anti-backlash springs and magnetic tooling plate.

Flip-Top tubs for Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) wipes have lids that spring closed automatically. Are eco-friendly; reportedly reduce waste and emissions. Refill packs fit into Flip-Top tubs and disposable tubs. IPA wipes are available in two different grades: 99.8% pure IPA is for tape head cleaning, defluxing, fiber optics maintenance, and other light cleaning; 70% pure IPA has a slower evaporation rate; is for stencil cleaning to remove pastes and adhesives, oven cleaning, and general maintenance cleaning. Are both made of non-woven polyester material, which is low linting and tear and snag resistant.
