Automatic board handling linked to the new LED graphite camera system delivers automatic alignment to further reduce operator intervention, and underscreen cleaning is activated automatically.
Programmable 2D paste-on-pad print and stencil blockage verification, remote process monitoring and optional ProFlow Direkt imaging further enhance process speed and repeatability.
Horizon 03 (ELA) runs an enterprise-level Microsoft Windows operating system, whose native applications enable extensive networking via the machine's built-in 10/100 Ethernet network interface card.
