AP1200/AP1500 Automatic Inline Stencil Printer

AP1200/AP1500 Automatic Inline Stencil Printer

AP1200/AP1500 Automatic Inline Stencil Printer

Large-format SMT stencil printing for long LED panels and oversized PCB production.

The AP1200 and AP1500 are fully automatic inline stencil printers designed for high-volume manufacturing of oversized and elongated PCB assemblies. Built for applications such as LED panels, LED strips, telecom boards, and industrial electronics, they deliver precise, repeatable results across extended print lengths.

  • Extended print areas: 1200 × 300 mm (AP1200) and 1500 × 300 mm (AP1500) for long boards and panels
  • Stable board support: vacuum table system secures large or irregular PCBs during printing
  • Accurate alignment: vision-based system ensures precise PCB-to-stencil registration on every cycle
  • Continuous production: automated stencil cleaning supports reliable, high-throughput operation

A complimentary 250g jar of ECOREL 305-16LVD 88.0T4 solder paste for trial is included with the purchase of any standard stencil printer.

High-Precision Printing for Large LED Panels

The AP1200 and AP1500 are designed specifically for long LED panels and oversized PCBs, ensuring stable, accurate printing across extended board lengths.

  • Stable large-board support: vacuum table keeps long and irregular PCBs flat during printing
  • Anti-bending clamping system: prevents flexing of thin or flexible boards
  • Moving table alignment: vacuum table aligns the PCB to the stencil for precise registration
  • Consistent large-format accuracy: maintains reliable results across long panels and complex assemblies

High-Accuracy Vision Alignment

The AP1200 and AP1500 use an advanced camera system to automatically align each PCB to the stencil before printing, ensuring fast setup and highly accurate positioning.

  • ±0.008 mm repeat accuracy: delivers precise alignment for demanding applications
  • Automatic alignment: camera system aligns each board before every print cycle
  • Reliable fine-pitch capability: supports high-precision PCB assemblies
  • Reduced setup time: minimizes manual alignment and operator intervention

Parallel Lift System

The parallel stencil-to-PCB lift system ensures uniform separation across the entire print area, maintaining consistent print quality on large and complex boards.

  • Uniform separation: ensures even lift across the full stencil area
  • Reduced defects: minimizes paste smearing during separation
  • Supports complex designs: maintains accuracy for fine-pitch and detailed PCB layouts
  • Improved yield: reduces rework by maintaining consistent print integrity

Dual-Rack Squeegee System

The AP1200 and AP1500 feature a dual-rack squeegee system designed for controlled, repeatable motion and consistent solder paste application.

  • Precision motion control: ball-screw actuators with programmable speeds ensure repeatable operation
  • Uniform pressure distribution: maintains consistent print pressure across the stencil
  • Self-leveling squeegees: adapt to stencil variations to preserve alignment accuracy
  • Optimized paste usage: reduces waste and improves material efficiency

Fast Setup and Changeover

The AP Series simplifies setup and changeover with automated calibration and alignment, reducing operator effort and improving production efficiency.

  • Quick setup process: input stencil size and secure in frame clamp
  • Automated calibration: system manages alignment and setup without manual adjustment
  • Fast changeovers: reduces downtime and minimizes operator error between jobs
  • Tool-free PCB support: universal frame holder accommodates single- and double-sided boards

Integrated Under-Stencil Cleaning

The AP1200 and AP1500 include an automatic under-stencil cleaning system to maintain print quality and reduce interruptions during production.

  • Flexible cleaning modes: supports dry, wet, and wet + vacuum cleaning options
  • Effective debris removal: clears solder paste and residue from stencil apertures
  • Reduced downtime: automated cleaning minimizes manual intervention
  • Optimized performance: compatible with recommended solutions such as Zestron Vigon SC200
