New Software Controls Stencil Printer Processing
Speedline MPM has introduced Version 7.0 software for the Speedline MPM Ultraprint 2000, 3000 and HiE Series of stencil printers.Developed at MPM, the software is equipped with more than 50 new enhanced programming features compared to the prevsious version. These enhancements will enable the printers to reduce cycle and setup times and improve inspection capabilities, according to the company.
Version 7.0 provides enhancements that include the ability to program for automatic vision offsets, low-contrast 2D and idle time recovery.
The software also permits users to program for a "Custom BGA," which enables users to program a custom BGA or µBGA device with pads as small as .010 and a maximum I/O array size of up to 2500 pads. These can then be inspected at speeds between 0.6-1 second per field of inspection.
