Fully Automatic PCB Stencil and Screen Printer For Extra Large Formats – Ekra SERIO 8000

About the Fully Automatic PCB Stencil and Screen Printer For Extra Large Formats – Ekra SERIO 8000

The screen and stencil holder has a flexible design which allows it to be used with virtually any kind of stencil or screen with size up to 1270 x 1700 mm (50 x 67 inches), without using of additional adapters.

The patented optical positioning system EVA™ (EKRA Vision Alignment System) features 2 high-resolution cameras with “Look-up + Look-down” technology for reliable recognition of low contrast fiducials and surfaces.

Thanks to the closed-loop regulation of the dual squeegee print head, the print pressure stays constant throughout the complete printing process and it is independent from the substrate characteristics and the print parameters.

With the optionally available automatic 2½ D post-print inspection, the location and quality of the printed glue or solder paste can be checked and - compared to the traditional 2D-Systems - a qualified feedback in regards to the printed volume of the pad and possible height deviations is directly determined.

Furthermore, the EKRA 2½ D option, incorporates a short-circuit inspection (bridging) and stencil underside inspection (clogging).

The printer is equipped with a transport system for substrates with a weight of up to 10 kg and a stencil underside side cleaning.

The SIMPLEX user interface makes the operation of the printing system fast, easy and controllable. The interface can be operated intuitively using gestures. With the aid of a touch-screen the respective function can be directly tapped and executed.

The improved ergonomics and user guidance of SIMPLEX minimises training times and makes operating processes much easier. Particularly noteworthy is the live view, an overview of the entire substrate, which supports the operator visually during programming.
