(July 18, 2008) HORSHAM, Pa. — Samsung and Dynatech Technology have added the Samsung SMP400 stencil printer to the American Competiveness Institute's (ACI's) EMPF demonstration factory. The six-sigma capable printer joins the Samsung SM421 advanced flexible mounter with STF100S feeder.
The SMP400 printing system is the newest product in Samsung's SM series, joining SM mounters and SRF reflow ovens. ACI chose the SMP400 with automatic printing and rapid programming.
The cast base frame of the SMP400 is engineered with a low center of gravity to minimize vibration during operation. This rigid structure is complemented by a high-precision, servo-control system on every axis, using a single-layer module to operate simultaneously all axes.
A six-sigma precision, high-accuracy vision system combined with a patented alignment and clamping system enables the SMP400 to provide fast, accurate and repeatable board-to-stencil alignment every time, according to the company. The SMP400 adjusts the stencil position to accommodate the location of the board minimizing the need to re-align the conveyor with the outbound transport system once the board is printed.
It incorporates an automatic calibration function, which can be performed as part of a regular maintenance cycle or at the start of each change-over for correct automatic print-height leveling, squeegee down-pressure and vision calibration.
SMP400 printers feature high-speed, three-stage conveyor; closed-loop print head; proprietary Advanced Separation Control (ASC); automatic stencil cleaning; and 2D post-print inspection. Application software extends the GUI developed for the SM series placement system to the SMP400. SM Series operator control software provides a consistent look and feel across all the SM Series platforms, displaying familiar icons, menu structures, and operation sequences.
The SMP400 handles boards from 50 × 50 mm up to 620 × 510 mm and is capable of reliably printing fine lines for 01005 pads.
