AP1200/AP1500 Automatic Inline Stencil Printer

AP1200/AP1500 Automatic Inline Stencil Printer

AP1200/AP1500 Automatic Inline Stencil Printer

The AP1200 and AP1500 are fully automatic, inline stencil printers engineered for high-volume LED production as well as other demanding oversized PCB applications. With expansive print areas of 1200 x 300 mm (AP1200) and 1500 x 300 mm (AP1500), they deliver precise, repeatable results for long LED panels, LED strips, telecom boards, industrial controls, and automotive electronics. A vacuum table holding system ensures secure and stable support for large or irregular boards, while vision-based alignment technology guarantees accurate PCB-to-stencil registration on every cycle. To further enhance throughput and quality, the printers feature automated stencil cleaning, enabling continuous, reliable production with minimal downtime.

High-Precision Printing for Large LED Panels

The AP1200 and AP1500 stencil printers deliver fast, high-precision printing specifically designed for long LED panels and oversized PCBs. A unique clamping device prevents flexible boards from bending, while the integrated vacuum table holds even the longest boards perfectly flat throughout the process. For maximum accuracy, the vacuum table itself moves to align the PCB to the stencil, ensuring flawless registration across every cycle. By combining stability, precision, and fully automated operation, the AP1200 and AP1500 provide reliable, repeatable results with higher throughput and minimal downtime—ideal for demanding LED manufacturing and other large-format production environments.

Fast and Easy Setup for Precision Printing

The AP Series printers are designed to deliver both speed and accuracy, minimizing setup time while ensuring repeatable, high-quality results. Operators may only need to input the stencil size and secure it in the frame clamp; from there, the intelligent control software automatically manages system calibration and alignment, guaranteeing consistent precision across production runs. Changeovers are completed within seconds, significantly reducing downtime and operator error. The universal frame holder provides stable, vibration-free support for both single- and double-sided PCBs without requiring additional tools, maintaining exact registration even on complex boards. This advanced automation ensures efficient workflow, superior print accuracy, and maximum throughput for demanding SMT production environments.

Parallel Lift System for Superior Print Quality & Throughput

The AP Series stencil printers feature a parallel stencil-to-PCB lift system that ensures uniform separation across the entire print area, delivering consistently high print quality even on demanding applications. By maintaining precise, controlled movement during the separation process, the system minimizes paste smearing, reduces defects, and supports accurate printing of fine-pitch components and complex board designs. This reliability not only improves yield but also shortens rework cycles, resulting in higher throughput and greater overall efficiency for modern SMT production lines.

High-Accuracy Vision Alignment System

All AP series printers are equipped with an advanced camera system that automatically align the circuit board to the stencil before each print cycle, ensuring fast setup and consistent results. This high-precision design enables reliable printing of fine-pitch PCBs with a repeat accuracy of ±0.008 mm, making the AP series ideal for demanding SMT applications where precision and repeatability are critical.

Dual-Rack Squeegee Printing System

The AP1200/AP1500 features a dual-rack squeegee system driven by high-precision ball-screw actuators with programmable print speed for consistent and repeatable motion control. Uniform print pressure is precisely regulated, while self-leveling squeegees automatically conform to the stencil surface to ensure accurate registration on every print. This advanced dual-rack design also optimizes solder paste travel, minimizing waste and improving overall process efficiency for reliable, high-quality results.

Integrated Under-Stencil Cleaning System

The AP1200/AP1500 features an automatic wet/dry/vacuum under-stencil cleaning system that ensures consistent print quality and minimizes downtime. The programmable system allows flexible cleaning modes, including dry wiping, wet wiping with solvent, or wet wiping combined with vacuum suction to effectively remove solder paste and debris from stencil apertures, maintaining optimal performance through production.
