Calumet Electronics Opts for Olec Accuprint AccuTray™ Option

Calumet Electronics Corporation has acquired 5 new Olec Accuprint AP30AT Exposure Printers equipped with AccuTray™ "Smart Tray" active registration systems for enhanced imaging capability. "Calumet printed circuit boards are designed and built for high reliability" Stephen J. Marshall, National Sales Manger stated, "These new OLEC Printers assure accuracy and resolution of the finest lines, increased production at lower cost, and high yield with less maintenance".

OLEC ACCUPRINT semi-automated systems are used for short exposures of solder mask and primary images. The AccuTray™ "Smart Tray" active registration system produces best-fit registration. By observing a combination of upper and lower film targets, panel holes, and fiducials, this system is capable of meeting all registration needs. The unique 10-axis system can move the upper film, the panel and each of the two cameras independently. When a job is selected, the cameras move to the ideal target location. In production, the system checks and aligns each panel to ensure that the best registration is achieved. The system can be set to prevent imaging of any product that will be out of tolerance.
