Even, Consistent Print Strokes
The 5500 has pneumatically controlled, dual floating squeegees that provide constant squeegee pressure throughout the print stroke, ensuring consistent prints, board after board. This machine will minimize the risks of solder bridging or solder paste bleeding under the stencil. A bidirectional squeegee design makes it possible to print on both the forward and the return strokes for greater efficiency.
Well-Defined Print Edges
After printing, the vertical lift lever is used to raise the stencil vertically, off the PCB, eliminating the risk of solder paste smearing as the stencil is opened away from the printer and ensuring well-defined print edges. The results are comparable to those produced by much more costly automated stencil printers.
Easy Setup and Changeover
- With a Z-axis adjustable from 0" to 0.75" and no-tools-required tooling, double-sided boards are easily accommodated, as is off-contact screen printing.
- The 5500's universal squeegee holders accept metal, polyurethane, and rubber squeegee blades. One pair of 12" metal and rubber squeegee blades are included.
- The squeegee shuttle moves side-to-side so the operator doesn't have to reach across to the back of the machine to print.
