Mydata MY500 Jet printer
We recently purchased a Mydata MY500 Jet printer for our Automated Pick and Place Line. This new technology is similar to standard solder stencil machines but it does not require custom stencils for each unique board assembly. The MY500 can be programmed to apply solder paste on circuit boards and then it can be fine turned to get optimal solder joints on the fly. This machine offers a lower cost higher quality way to complete quick turn jobs.
It allows optimization of solder paste deposits for every solder joint. It easily does things that are difficult or impossible to do with a stencil printer, such as:
- Varying the solder paste thickness on different areas of the same pad
- Print in 3D cavities on multilevel PCBs
- Apply paste on components when doing package-on package assembly
- Fine pitch parts can be placed right next to large power devices and each can get the perfect amount of solder paste
- There is almost not solder paste waste, so it is a green solution
