What Is the AUREL VS1520A High Precision Screen Printer?
The AUREL VS1520A steps up from the C920 for production and fine-line work. First, a camera on a dedicated linear-motor axis finds fiducials, vias and pads across the whole substrate. Then the motorised X-Y-Theta table aligns screen and substrate automatically. As a result, you get high-resolution registration and fast set-up.
What Are the Key Features of the AUREL VS1520A?
Above all, the VS1520A is built for accuracy and repeatability. Key features include:
- Automatic vision system with a camera on a dedicated linear-motor axis, along with dedicated lighting
- Motorised and programmable X-Y-Theta work table, so screen-to-substrate alignment is automatic
- Smart squeegee head on high-precision slides: single squeegee, double squeegee or squeegee plus flood blade
- DC-motor-driven head, so speed and stroke control stay smooth and precise in both directions
- Motorised screen Z axis with a slow print-gap function
- Vacuum hold-down (Venturi) with a substrate presence sensor and quick chuck change
- PC control (Windows), touchscreen, work program storage, data logging and remote AUREL service
- Also extends to the VS1520M fully automatic line (loader, printer, dryer, unloader, up to 600 prints/h)
What Is the AUREL VS1520A Used For?
Because it handles a wide range of pastes and substrates, the VS1520A suits applications such as:
- Thick-film and polymer pastes
- Multilayer hybrid circuits
- SMT/SMD solder paste
- Glue, adhesive and resin
- Flexible foils, PET film and paper
- Solar cells, semiconductors, glass and quartz
- Silver sinter
- Heaters on metal substrates
- PHM and via filling
What Options Are Available for the AUREL VS1520A?
In addition to the standard configuration, you can fit the VS1520A with the following options:
- Paste dispenser
- PHM via filling
- Substrate cleaning by roller, air knife or ioniser
- Barcode reader
- Pneumatic screen locking
- Post-print inspection (PPI)
- Climate control
- Automatic stencil cleaning
- Automatic handling
- Custom handling for green tape (LTCC/HTCC) and flexible substrates
- Backlit work table
Why Choose the AUREL VS1520A for Fine-Line Production?
With vision camera axis resolution of 0.0001 mm and fully automatic screen-to-substrate alignment, this printer is built for fine-line, multilayer hybrid circuit production. In particular, it suits work that needs consistent, high-resolution registration. Stored work programs and automatic alignment also reduce set-up time between jobs. In addition, you can extend the design into the VS1520M fully automatic line for higher-throughput production.
