“Our customers are growing. But they should never outgrow their investment,” says Mark Flaskett, Product Manager Printing, of the latest launch of the MYPro S series stencil printers. “In recent years, we’ve already significantly boosted speeds in inspection and pick-and-place. And we see stencil printing as a natural part of this development — raising the ceiling once again in terms of throughput and cycle times.”
Strong foundations in stencils. Flexible producers around the world might not have known it, but behind the scenes Mycronic’s Center of Excellence in stencil printing in Shenzhen China has quietly built a strong reputation among the world’s leading manufacturers of consumer and industrial electronics.
The team, known in China under the brand HCX, have supplied more than 3,500 machines to many of the world’s largest producers of electronics for smartphones, EVs, LCD displays and more.
In the new MYPro S20 and S30, this deep experience is evident in the underlying numbers. “As an engineer myself, I’m always focused on supplying the best technical solutions: How do you keep costs down, prevent process drift and ensure the highest yield?” says Mark Flaskett. “With a 14-second takt time and 8 micrometer repeat accuracy, the MYPro S series speaks for itself. It’s up there with the best machines in the business.”
Naturally, what works for a high-volume manufacturer with zero changeovers isn’t always suitable for smaller-batch producers. This is why development of the MYPro S series included substantial testing and refinements together with automotive and other flexible manufacturers. Among the adaptations made are an all-new graphic user interface (GUI) that provides intuitive guidance for customers with more frequent changeovers, as well as a range of standardized connectivity and automation features.
