PrinTEK Ultra-Fine Pitch Printer



Unique Boom Style Dual Squeegee head and mini cameras update the Transition Automation Printer Platform



Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, USA, —Transition Automation, Inc. is exhibiting for the first time a newly designed SMT printer that contains several innovations that give enhanced fine pitch printing capability in a bench-top configuration.  The first enhancement is a dual Squeegee structure and drive mechanism that is constructed with a four-bar linkage.  This unique innovation allows the main squeegee head, gantry and squeegees to be smoothly pushed back.  The four bar linkage creates an effortless tilting and sliding motion that opens stencil area for easy loading and alignment of the stencil.  In addition the printing system employs a unique vision magnification method.  Two high resolution compact digital cameras are mounted on pantograph style articulating arms.  This allows the focus and orientation of the cameras to remain fixed while they are moved in position.  The cameras also retract out of the printer area making set-ups easy for fine pitch production.   The printer platform comes with a highly integrated tooling table, featuring independent X-Y-THETA and Z-height adjustments, anti-backlash springs and a unique magnetic tooling plate.
