ITW EAE MPM has announced the new Edison II ACT stencil printer a simple to use, easy to adopt and scalable solution for automation. The MPM Edison II ACT is integrated with automated changeover technology that is fast and consistent with reduced operator requirements resulting in error-free changeover and increased yield and throughput.

The MPM Edison II ACT (Automated Changeover Technology) was developed based on the proven MPM Edison platform, an exceptionally accurate printer with advanced technology. With a built-in ±8 micron machine alignment and ±15 micron wet print accuracy (≥2 Cpk @ 6 sigma, Edison's wet print accuracy.  The Edison II ACT has a proven process capability greater than 2Cpk for 0201 metric components, an ideal solution to meet the increasing miniaturization and board component density challenges in semiconductor, automotive, smart devices and etc.

MPM Edison II ACT has a transfer efficiency that exceeds requirements for the smallest apertures. A single high-precision precision load cell with closed-loop pressure control and a motor-driven system enables precise and consistent squeegee force control across the entire print stroke in both directions, which helps improve yields. Innovative machine design achieves ultra-tight coplanarity between stencil and substrate enabling yield improvement for ultra-thin stencil printing.

Production line changeover is one of the most labor-intensive, time-consuming, and error-prone tasks in electronics manufacturing. This innovative MPM-patented Automated Changeover Technology (ACT) provides a simple, cost-effective and progressive solution toward the end goal of factory automation.
