Solder Paste Printers handle large board sizes.

Press Release Summary:




With respective printing cycle times of 8 and 6 sec (excluding printing time) and repeated accuracies of ±12.5 and ±10 µm, HP-07 and HP-08 accommodate PCBs ranging from 50 x 50 mm to 620 x 510 mm and with thicknesses from 0.4-5.0 mm. Side board clamping eliminates gap between board and stencil, and Synchronous Squeegee technology keeps constant printing pressure on warped PCBs. Printers also feature Direct Drive stencil snap-off control and 895-930 mm pass line.

HITACHI Expands Sales & Service of Large Board Size Solder Paste Printer HP-07/HP-08 in Americas



HITACHI Expands Sales & Service of Large Board Size Solder Paste Printer
HP-07/HP-08 in Americas

Dallas, Texas, USA - Sales and service for the recently-introduced HP-07 and HP-08 solder paste printers has been expanded to the Americas, it was announced today by the Production Systems Division (PSD) of Hitachi High Technologies America, Inc. (HTA).

The newly introduced HP-07 and HP-08 solder paste printers can accommodate large size printed circuit boards with a range from 50 x 50 to 620 x 510mm, with and extremely fast cycle rates, making both models well-suited to work in conjunction with Hitachi PSD's flagship Sigma G5 high speed modular mounter.

The HP-07 and HP-08 are designed and manufactured by Hitachi Plant Technologies, Ltd. (HPT), a sister company of Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation under the same Hitachi group. HPT has specialized in high quality and accuracy printing technologies for half a century.

Excellent printing quality and very fast cycle time coupled with easy operation are ensured by HPT's unique and consistent design features including:
(1) Unique side board clamping, which eliminates the gap between board and stencil;
(2) Synchronous Squeegee technology, which keeps a constant printing pressure on warped PCBs; and
(3) Direct Drive stencil snap-off control.

The "Synchronous Squeegee" controls both squeegee parallelism and Z-axis balance through the use of HPT's unique cylinder which precisely compensates for bumps or deformation in the board surface, resulting in a very reliable printing process. Additionally, technicians are not required to adjust the squeegee level, only to set printing pressure to obtain constant and stable printing. Finally, stencil snapoff is an exceptionally smooth process because the stencil is free from unnecessary printing pressures from the squeegee.

Hitachi High Technologies America will support HPT's printers in North and South America from its headquarters in Dallas, Texas and has officially started installations in the U.S. as of May, 2012. HTA will utilize both Hitachi Plant Technologies powerful solder paste printer together with their own Sigma series high speed modular mounters as a single line solution to accommodate customer's demands.
