Yamaha YRP10 solder paste printer

Yamaha has launched the YR series solder paste printer. The YRP10 printer is designed to achieve a high level of print accuracy, which is vital as ultra-compact chip components and narrow-pitch electrodes become more common.

The printer features a newly revised 3S (Swing Single Squeegee) head to further enhance printing quality with improved rolling performance, filling capabilities and reduced solder paste waste. The stencil vacuum mechanism keeps the PCB and stencil in close contact resulting in high-precision printing.

Additionally, automatic set-up changeovers, such as automatic pin push-ups, stencil replacements, solder transfers and automatic solder supply, reduce labour requirements and human errors in line with long-term non-stop production and the Intelligent Factory System.

With the independent dual-lane capability as an option, the printer has the flexibility to support a range of PCB sizes increasing efficiency and responding to diverse products and production formats.

This printer is designed to minimise defects, thereby enhancing the solder paste printing process. Hawker Richardson is the exclusive supplier of the Yamaha SMT line of products in Australasia.
