Single axis closed-loop pressure control for dual squeegee eliminates front-to-back variation; a single high precision load cell provides squeegee force, and a unique algorithm calibrates out non-linearity, maintaining the set pressure across the entire board surface.
The automated paste changeover system features a carousel that holds three 12 oz. or 6 oz. cartridges. The printer unloads the used cartridge into the carousel which then spins into position for a new cartridge to be loaded.A built-in barcode scanner verifies that the correct cartridge is being loaded. A side door on the printer allows loading and removal of cartridges on the fly without stopping production. Indicator lights above the door lets the operator know if they correct paste for the selected process is loaded or if a cartridge is missing or needs attention.
Edison II ACT completely automates the changeover of the stencil, tooling and squeegees. It provides a fast and consistent changeover without opening the hood of machine to access inside. The operator removes the current run stencil from the printer and then loads a tray that holds the next run squeegees and tooling. The Edison II ACT then automatically removes the current run squeegees and support tooling and loads them onto the tray. The printer then automatically installs the next run items, and the operators removed the tray.
Ability to have three boards in the machine simultaneously, reduced distance on input conveyor by pre-loading the board during the print process results in reduced transfer times and improved cycle time.
The High Flow Venturi System with closed-loop control represents a major advancement, blending digital programmability with exceptional flexibility and simplicity in setup. Its precise programmability, adaptability to different substrate thicknesses, and focus on maintaining quality consistency make it an invaluable asset for boosting productivity and yield.

Overall gantry thickness is only 44.3 mm featuring ‘on the fly’ ‘POE’ (Power Over Ethernet) camera; A single CCD split field provides precision simultaneous up-down image acquisition; FOV 8.6 x 8.6 mm.
MPM Intueri is a simple, intuitive operator interface with a flexible, wide array of configuration variables. It is combined with Open Apps for maximum capability and connectivity and provides a portal to Industry 4.0 concepts.
OpenApps™ is an open application interface with a development kit that allows customers to develop custom interfaces in support of Industry 4.0 initiatives. Using OpenApps we can provide support for factory automation standards such as Hermes and Pulse and communication with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). MPM printers support industry standards like CamX, SECS/GEM and SMEMA.
The Edison SECS/GEM package provides a ready-made interface that enables MES integration for product verification, traceability, and other MES functionalities. SECS/GEM is a semiconductor industry communication standard that provides a common interface for MES connectivity.
The Paste Height Monitor is designed to prevent defects caused y inadequate volumes of paste on the stencil. It combines advanced software and sensor technology to accurately monitor the paste bead for volume consistency. Upper and lower limit roll-height monitoring eliminates insufficient or excess paste volumes. It is a non-contact solution that can automatically add more paste to the stencil as it is needed.
The PrinTrack feature adds traceability, data harvesting, and reporting to your printing process. With PrinTrack, you always have an easy access to a comprehensive history, detailing:
A flexible web reporting interface can be user-configured to produce traceability reports.
SPI Print Optimizer brings your Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) machine into communication with your MPM printer through a specially-developed common interface. When the SPI machine ‘sees’ X, Y and theta offset problems on a just-printed PCB, it analyzes the data virtually instantly and gives the printer instructions to correct those offsets, automatically, and ‘on the fly’.
The Edison printer delivers an impressive 2X throughputcompared to competitive printers: 15 seconds total throughput – including stencil wipe cycle.
That’s due in part to an all new highly-efficient parallel processing stencil shuttle system, wiper, vision gantry, and other cycle time reduction and innovations so that Edison delivers double the throughput of best-in-class printers worldwide.
The Edison recessed front design provides unprecedented access to tooling for easier service without reaching, bending, or fatigue. Edison can also be configured Back-to-Back for a flexible dual lane solution without adding line length.
A super-size 65m paper roll allows 10,000 prints per change. Patented paper tension control provides more effective wiping and a separate wiping and printing zone prevents cross contamination.
