With the 2000XQ SMD stencil printer from ESE, Multi Components offers a printing module for components up to 0.4 x 0.2 mm and 0.25 mm diameter for BGA balls. Other special features for high-quality printing results include
- The inclusion of all standard stencil quick clamping systems,
- the modern ESE image processing system. It compares the position of the freely programmable reference marks of the printing stencil with the PCB and thus ensures the important consistent paste pressure,
- the closed-loop control loop connects the 2000 XQ with the SPI solder paste inspection module of common manufacturers
- all process parameters are recorded, stored and available for traceability
- experienced operators program the printer within 2 minutes.
Even the basic version of the precision stencil printer is characterized by many technical features: the printing table is driven by four ball screws and fixed by three linear guides. This ensures uniform squeegee pressure and paste distribution across the entire width of the printing table, thus forming the basis for the best possible stencil printing. Front and rear guide rails position the PCB directly above the center of the table and enable precise paste printing without a fixed front transport rail as with conventional machines. Double printing of two images per stencil is possible.
According to Jörg Stöcker, Managing Director of Multi Components, the ESE stencil printer is a very interesting machine for EMS service providers and in-house manufacturers in terms of printing and price performance.
