MPM Edison stencil printer features common software, controls and advanced technologies on a scalable platform. High speed, accuracy, and performance: is said to operate at twice the speed and 40% higher accuracy than current printers. All controls are in the front of the machine, permitting back to back lines. Accuracy is +/-8 microns @ 6 sigma; Cpk >= 2.0.  Cycle time is 15 sec. with wipe activated. On the fly fiducial capture. Footprint is slightly smaller than MPM Momentum printer.

Zero-fault production line is designed for selective soldering of through-hole components. Incorporates selective mini-wave soldering process, automated optical inspection of solder joints, a verify workstation for verification and classification of detected faults, as well as an automated rework soldering process. Intelligent handling units automatically allocate the assemblies to the next work station.  Modules are linked with bidirectional data transfer. Process and machine data are recorded, analyzed and documented. Plasma process can be used to deposit flux powder. Dual soldering unit allows independent temperature settings for solder and an automotive-compliant separation of different solder materials.

GBRS inline bottom router is designed to depanelize printed circuit board assemblies into individual assemblies without the need for PCB-specific fixtures. PCB is received in incoming conveyor and moves to a gripper station, which handles the PCB. Cutting spindle is positioned beneath PCB to route it. After routing, PCB is picked and placed on outgoing conveyor, while the frame is dropped into waste conveyor. Uses Move, Teach, & Cut control software and has new graphical user interface. Routing capabilities: non-routing speed of 1000mm/sec, repeatability of +/- 0.1mm and cutting speed of 100mm/sec max.
