Ease-of-use philosophy also features in large volume production screen printers
22 November 2000
Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
The SP400V is the new vision solder paste stencil printer from Samsung. Its high accuracy and affordability makes it essential for large production volume lines.
With a speed cycle of 10 s per PCB as well as precision alignment, Samsung says it has a definitive edge on the competition and technology by using Samsung's COGNEX vision system and PATMAX algorithm.
Advantages of the PATMAX algorithm are:
* Accurately locates severely degraded fiducials.
* Automatically adjusts for variation in fiducial size.
* Accurately measures angle and size of fiducials with a single alignment step.
The cleaning system is fully programmable to minimise operator intervention. It can be used wet, dry or with vacuum cleaning and the AC motor has speed control for cleaning actuation.
The machine's user-friendly Windows-based software combined with operator guidance and warning messaging makes the SP400V a highly-rated stencil printer.

Understanding solder dross: causes and control strategies
Truth Electronic Manufacturing
Editor's Choice Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Dross formation is an inevitable consequence of wave soldering. It occurs when molten solder comes into contact with oxygen, forming metal oxides that float on the surface of the solder bath. Over time, this oxidation byproduct accumulates and must be removed to maintain solder quality and process consistency.
