This solution is not as complicated as you might have thought. T-conveyor connected machines are widely used for applications requiring high material deposition throughput. This solution is made of: 1. Two independent screen printers 2. Two line loa

We are a small OEM that runs a high mix/low volume environment. Typical runs are a couple or five hundred boards, one or two products per day. Currently, we are using a Quad DeHart SLC-20 semi-automatic stencil printer. (alignment is manual, printing

Maybe I was not clear in my original post. So we have boards that have SMD components on one side and TH components on the opposite side. We want to assemble the boards using our SMT and Wave lines. Now the problem is that if we solder the SMD firs

I've inherited an old HTI screen printer, and have been told that it was in operation before it was sent to my shop. I'm now trying to get it working, but, with no knowledge of the printer or the control system, I keep banging my head against it. A

Can you use the equipment manual as the basis for learning how to use the machine? Each model of printer has different alignment techniques. We don't have a clue of your model type. So, we'll approach the question from its most basic point. Registe

MPMENG, Thank you so much for taking the time to help. The machine has Y snuggers and flippers. The Pcb is loading in the center all the time. The driver cards look fine there is no obvious faults on them or partially burned. The machine was not in

First, what would you define as semi-automatic? For SMT production you might need a screen printer (these can be anything from full manual to full auto. The low end printers manual require each board to be aligned with a piece of mylar prior to p

Ed, You certainly are ready for some equipment. I noticed in your message that you mentioned cost three times. So it is a very big issue to you. What everything depends on is where you see your company going in the next few years. Do you want

I started a new job about 6 months ago, and the screen printer is an Ekra E4. I have never used one before, but have used a variety of them and I have 13 years experience mainly in surface mount. I cannot seem to get consistency out of this machine
