Your typical high mix line would consist of, Stencil printer, 1-2 foot conveyor belt, fast PNP machine (say a universal 30 spindle turret lightning head), 1-2 foot conveyor belt, large/heavy part PNP (say a universal flex jet 7 spindle or 4 Spindle),

A couple of points: * Just a nit, 'screens' fell in disuse 10-15 years ago. Old habits die slowly don't they? * Yes, DEK and MPM each hold about 50% of the solder paste printer market and about 4 or 5 others hold the rest. SOLDER PASTE PRINTER EQUI

I am receiving a "cognex not found" error upon bootup of a MPM AP24-X stencil printer. I have checked everything I can find between the cognex computer and the one in the machine. Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas would be greatly appr

Try looking for paste contamination somewhere. Dirty stencil, printer table or fixtures. Placement table/fixtures. Reflow belt/conveyer. Reuseable finger covers, if used. Try covering the fingers with Kapton tape during different stages of the proc

Now that's an approach I've never thought of, inspecting a different portion of each board (I'm assuming that you program a few different patterns and run them sequencially, or something like that). I know our stencil printers don't provide that opti

Why do you want to apply paste by dispensing ? Have you given up all the solutions for your solder paste printing? The cost effective way of using your Cam/Alot is to dispense adhesive. And use your Stencil Printer to apply solder paste. That's what

In my opinion MPM is superior as far as programming the 2D inspection. It's fast, simple and reliable. The DEK has options like Formflex. The MPM only offers adjustable vacuum box. It's difficult. 2nd hand prices are not similar. We offer used/refurb

FYI: MPM does in fact offer alternate board support tooling than the vacuum box system. They have the X and Y snugger tooling, which clamps the board and uses magnetic support pins. If you are looking at a used UP2000, check to see what tooling it ha

Transition Automation is offering a unique offline tooling system, which definetely improves the mpm machines compared to dek. Considering the big cost gap between used mpm and dek machines, if you buy mpm, and buy transitions instant fixture upgrad
