Hi, Please help on this problem with an MPM AP25 screen printer. Everytime we print the error Squeegee Pressure Not Set is prompted. Although we can still print by clicking on Next, it beats the purpose of having an automatic printing machine. Can s

Harry is right. Too much moisture in the air lines screws up the air cards. These pro-heads are somewhat of a pain to calibrate. I think it is a little pre-mature to say you probably need pneumatic cards. You just need to calibrate the pro-head.

Very interesting, how you can answer that with that many details that you gave us. Here are some preliminary questions, before anybody can give you any answer: Pb or Pb-free? 3mil stencil or 8mil stencil? How many shifts? Quantity will depend also o

OK, got a lot of information today doing some testing.. Version number:- 07 SP11 (985 B02) Released Dec 8 2006 I did the tool(less) calibration of the squeegee height, which worked fine, no error. Did a test print, as you can see from the image, t

Hi, I just set one of these up a month or so ago, so it's all pretty fresh. The 265s have a pressure sensor amplifier box that needs calibration using the OEM calibration jig. OR you can use a 3 quid digital luggage scale from Ebay. The calibratio

the issue is the calibration. What you set it for has to match what it actually reads or you get the error screen at the end of every pass. If you go into the maintenance menu ( using the key next to the system button ) you can check that the pressu

Yeah, sorry, just noticed that bit on the photo. I'll have to have a look at my machine on Monday to see if there's anything that might explain it. The pressure system is pretty much the same on all the 265 variants so if you can find a service manua

Alrighty... Problem solved - ended up not being a problem at all. So, what I didn't realize, was that the knead pressure was 5kg, and the first print was always kneaded, so that's why the set pressure showed 5kg. After it was done kneading, the set

Pretty much paste dependent on what is required. I am not a huge fan of kneading unless absolutely necessary, so 15 minutes seems pretty short, and generally do only 2 strokes. Multiple print deposits is used when, for whatever reason you are not see

Before you buy a manual screen printer try to do it by hand. We hand stenciled boards with 19mil pitch parts for three years with decent results, with your parts it should be simple. lay the board on a piece of ESD bubblewrap, the kind with small bub
