Momentum II HiE

Momentum II HiE Stencil Printer

THE NEW MOMENTUM II HIE

The new Momentum II HiE is a single-rail stencil printer with servo motors, rather than stepper motors, driving the vision system’s X, Y, and Z axes.  Faster than steppers, servos drive the vision gantry at higher speed and thus increase throughput and cut cycle time, making the Hi-E an efficient high-volume printer. New features enable improvement in productivity, yield, versatility, and ease of use.
The Momentum II stencil printers are designed for high throughput and accuracy. MPM’s rigid frame is welded for low vibrations and major assemblies are driven by precision ball screws.  This allows for higher repeatability and greater reliability over time. 
Momentum II has an advanced print head featuring a high precision load cell with closed loop pressure control for precise and consistent squeegee force. Tighter performance tolerances mean consistent repeatability with higher yield.

Benchmark™ User Interface 

EASY TO LEARN AND USE FOR THE AVERAGE OPERATOR, MPM’S BENCHMARK SOFTWARE IS POWERFUL YET INTUITIVE, AND FACILITATES RAPID SETUP, ASSISTS WITH OPERATIONAL TASKS, AND MAKES CHANGEOVER QUICK AND EASY. THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO WINDOWS 10 AND NEW PRODUCTION TOOLS AND NEW QUICKSTART PROGRAMMING TO MAKE IT EVEN EASIER TO USE.


MPM’s OpenApps is an open architecture source code which provides the capability of developing custom interfaces in support of Industry 4.0 initiatives and communication with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). ITW EAE is the first SMT company to offer open software architecture.

AccuCheck Printer Capability Verification

AccuCheck Print Capability Verification allows the printer to measure its own print capability. Users can verify the machine’s capability at any time or continuously on their own products. AccuCheck measures the actual print deposit position versus the target pad to determine a measured print offset. It is an inexpensive, reliable method of obtaining machine quality and process capability information to ensure repeatable results and optimum printing performance.

Adjustable Stencil Shelf

Provides the flexibility to handle all stencil sizes with a simple adjustment of the shelf. The robust design provides better stability on all stencil sizes.

Automatic Paste Dispenser

Dispense for standard cartridges or choose the new patent-pending jar dispenser. Paste is released in precise, measured amounts across the stencil in a clean, uniform bead. Deposition volumes, frequency and placement are user programmable.

BridgeVision and StencilVision System

BridgeVision is a patented method of analyzing bridge defects on circuit boards in the post-print inspection process. This innovative system utilizes texture-based image acquisition algorithms and a digital camera system with telecentric lenses to support the accurate identification of paste deposit defects.

StencilVision utilizes texturebased technology to check the underside of a stencil for solder paste contamination. Wiper operation can be driven by the results obtained.

EdgeLoc™ Board Clamping System

The EdgeLoc system uses a side snugging technique that removes the need for top clamps which interfere with the PCB to stencil contact. The result is optimal gasketing and more volumetrically  consistent edge-to-edge prints. With EdgeLoc II, robust flippers engage to secure the board across the top edge ensuring board flatness then move out of the way once the board is firmly gripped from the side. EdgeLoc+ board clamping can change between edge and top clamping simply through software.

EnclosedFlow™ Print Head

The MPM EnclosedFlow Print Head delivers uniform aperture filling and superb printing performance especially for fine pitch devices, with tremendous savings on solder paste over squeegee blade printing – in excess of 50% over blades for dramatically fast ROI. Printing fine features such as 01005s and 0.3mm pitch CSPs with up to 50% greater volume and 25% lower deviation than metal blades.

MPM Vision System & Inspection

MPM’s patented printer based Vision and Inspection system is a cost-effectiveway to verify print and paste deposit results. It is flexible enough to handle the complete range of today’s most challenging components. This system measures the amount of paste covering the target pad and compares it with the required coverage. 2D inspection is integrated directly into the stencil printer to provide an immediate source of data.

Paste Height Monitor

The Paste Height Monitor is designed to prevent defects caused by inadequate volumes of paste on the stencil. It combines advanced software and sensor technology to accurately monitor the paste bead for volume  consistency. Upper and lower limit roll-height monitoring eliminates insufficient or excess paste volumes. It is a non-contact solution that can automatically add more paste to the stencil as it is needed.

Paste Temperature Monitor

Temperature monitoring ensures proper paste viscosity to avoid bridging and voiding. MPM patent-pending paste temperature monitor allows paste to be measured in the cartridge or on the stencil.

Quick Release Squeegee

New quick release squeegee blades makes changing blades quick and easy with no tools required. It takes less than 30 seconds to change the blade.

RapidClean™ Stencil Cleaner

RapidClean is a high-speed stencil solvent cleaning innovation that slashes cycle time and improves stencil cleaning performance. RapidClean can save up to $10K USD per nnum in paper savings per printer.

SPI Print Optimizer

SPI Print Optimizer brings your Solder Paste Inspection (SPI) machine into communication with your MPM printer through a specially-developed common interface. When the SPI machine ‘sees’ X, Y and theta offset problems on a just-printed PCB, it analyzes the data virtually instantly and gives the printer instructions to correct those offsets, automatically, and ‘on the fly’.
