The PastePuck

Two types are available. Type one uses the Dek/Novatec cartridge for the paste. Type two has a one piece solid body, refillable via a refill station.
From a visual point of view, there is little difference between the two. Both have the same printing mechanism, both can interfaced to a variety of printers in exactly the same way.Three sizes of print head are made, 175mm(7”), 300mm(12”) & 380mm(15”).

Some Benefits...

Designing the PastePuck and the interface to the same height as a standard squeegee blade means no software mods are necessary. Retro-fitting is just a matter of removing the standard squeegees, replacing them with the Puck pushers, setting the print parameters, and locating the Puck under the pushers.
By enclosing the paste inside the head, harmful effects of atmosheric contact have been eliminated. The Media Print Gasket makes the head to stencil seal, keeping the paste contained within the head. This results in no paste on the foil to degrade or crust.
PastePuck differs from other encapsulated units in the way that the paste is delivered to the board. Rather than utilising an outside power source, the motive force is taken directly from the printing machine itself. Squeegee downforce is exerted onto the paste within the head. This force is transfered to both apply a down force to the head, thus sealing it to the foil, and move the paste through the head onto the print window. The system works with a lower printing pressure, eliminating the problems usually associated with other Pressure Heads such as Concretion and Paste/Flux separation.
PastePuck can be trimmed to suit different board sizes and sealed when not in use keeping the paste in optimum condition. It minimises operator contact with print media and on-stencil deposits are negligable.
Right through from priming the head to printing, the PastePuck requires only basic training. This saves on lengthy installation visits minimising downtime so increasing productivity.
