ProtectoXC Solder Paste Jet Printing System

ProtectoXC Solder Paste Jet Printing System

The ProtectoXC Jet Printer delivers the perfect balance between speed and quality by eliminating the limitations of traditional stencil printers. Instead of remaking costly stencils when aperture sizes change, adjustments can be made in minutes—keeping production efficient and defect rates low. This makes the ProtectoXC Jet Printer the smarter choice for zero-defect soldering and high-mix manufacturing environments.

Engineered for advanced PCB assembly, the ProtectoXC Jet Printer handles densely packed boards, flexible circuits, multi-level chip packages, and package-on-package designs with ease. By depositing software-controlled solder dots directly on the board, it ensures accurate paste volumes for even the most complex applications, including QFNs, pin-in-paste, and cavity jetting. With fast CAD or Gerber-driven setup, new jobs can be launched quickly while maintaining the precision and consistency required for next-generation PCB manufacturing.

High Speed Precision for Modern SMT Production

The ProtectoXC Solder Jet Printer System delivers unmatched speed and precision for modern SMT production and PCB assembly. Equipped with a 1K Cartridge Valve application head and advanced software-controlled jetting technology, it can deposit up to 240 miniature solder dots per second with pinpoint accuracy. This ensures consistent, defect-free results across a wide range of applications, including QFNs, pin-in-paste, cavity jetting, and complex board designs.

With a large 520 x 508 mm work area, the ProtectoXC Solder Paste Jet System offers the flexibility to handle everything from simple boards to today's densely packed, high-density interconnect PCBs. By combining high-speed soldering performance with precision control, this solder jet printer helps manufacturers optimize throughput, reduce rework, and achieve superior solder joint quality in demanding electronics manufacturing environments.

Versatile Solder Jetting and Glue Dispensing

In addition to high-speed solder jetting, the ProtectoXC Solder Paste Jet Printing System also provides the ability to dispense glue, making it ideal for securing components that require extra stability during assembly or reflow. Equipped with three heads—one dedicated to solder jetting and two for dispensing—the system delivers unmatched flexibility for a wide range of applications. Whether you need precise solder placement, glue reinforcement for sensitive parts, or a combination of both, the ProtectoXC ensures accuracy, consistency, and efficiency across every board design.

Ensuring Absolute Process Reliability with Protecto Systems

ProtectoXC Solder Paste Jet Printing Systems offer unmatched process reliability, optionally featuring a fiducial camera to guarantee precision. This camera allows the coating program to automatically adjust, ensuring components are coated in the correct position—even if the board is placed inaccurately in the carrier.

Designed for modern production environments, Protecto systems integrate seamlessly with MES platforms, enabling full traceability, enhanced productivity, and streamlined workflow management. This integration ensures every step is monitored, recorded, and optimized for maximum efficiency.
