The dual lane module consists of two sets of transport rails, one being a print lane and the other being a pass through lane There are two dedicated machine variants:
• Front print machine
• Rear print machineThe front print machine prints the product on the front rails (rails 1 and 2) Rails
3 and 4 (rear) are the pass through rails designed to act as a conveyor passing the product through the machine to the next stage
On the rear print machine, rails 1 and 2 (front) are the pass through rails and rails 3 and 4 (rear) are the print rails
The machines have a rail clash sensor and vane fitted to rails 2 and 3 which prevents rail 2 being driven into rail 3
The machines may be installed in the following configurations:

Print Lane The print rails are a programmable width conveyor system, set by the board
product file, which transports the board using belts from the upline machine, into this machine, where the board is positioned, clamped and printed After printing the board is transferred using the same belts to the downline machine
The front print rail is the fixed rail, rail 1 on the front print machine and rail 3 on the rear print machine The rear print rail homes to the fixed rail
The print rails can be fitted with one of the following board clamping ments:
arrange-• 250mm or 500mm Board Clamps
• 250mm or 500mm Foil-less Clamps
• Board Snugger Assembly
• Over the Top Snugger (see Transport Rail Chapter for details)Foil-less clamps are utilized for thin pliable boards where there is a requirement
to print close to the board edge The foil-less clamps are assisted with the use
of a vacuum box beneath the product board
Board snuggers are an alternative to the standard board clamps and are utilized when there is a requirement to print close to the board edge

3 For tooling details see the tooling chapter.
4 For over the top snugger details see the transport rails chapter.
Pass Through Lane The pass through rails are a programmable width conveyor system, set by the
M40 Dual Lane Controller, which transports the board unhindered through the machine
NOTE The pass through rails are designed to continue running with the front printhead cover in the open position and to stop when the E-Stop is pressed.

Trang 10The rising table on the dual lane machine is identical to the rising table on the standard DEK machine with the exception of the manual tooling plate and the home vane.
The manual tooling plate is raised by 37mm to prevent the splash guard lifting the pass through lane when the rising table moves to print height To compen-sate for the extra height, the rising table home vane allows the table to home 37mm lower than a standard machine
As no tooling is required for the pass through lane, the manual tooling plate extends below the print rails only A splash guard replaces the manual tooling plate below the pass through rails to prevent print material falling on to the rising table motor assembly
NOTE Objects must not be placed on the splash guard as damage may occur to the pass through rails as the rising table moves to print height.
MMI The MMI beacon on the Dual Lane machine incorporates a blue light at the top
of the beacon This indicates that a board has failed to reach the board present sensor on the end of the pass through rails within 10 seconds of leaving the upline machine
Trang 11C Chase
Figure 21-9 Dual Lane C Chase (Manual Screen Load)
Figure 21-10 Dual Lane C Chase (Auto Screen Load)
The dual lane C chase is unique to the dual lane machine, allowing the screen
to locate further back in the machine This is a requirement so that a front justified screen image can be aligned to the board on a rear print machine
NOTE The front print machine may be fitted with an Adjustable Screen Mount (ASM) For further information on the ASM, refer to the Adjustable Screen Mount (ASM) chapter.
Manual Screen

an auto screen load sequence is initiated, the software uses the screen location sensors to ascertain whether the screen is located at the front or rear of the C chase This is essential as the software cannot differentiate between the front and rear frames of the screen
Board Specifications
Maximum
Dimensions The minimum board width for the print lane and the pass through lane is 40.5mm.
The maximum board width is determined by the following:
• Position of rail 3
• Whether the machine is front print or rear print
• Size of the manual tooling plate
Trang 14Figure 21-12 Pass Through Lane
Trang 15Foreign Machine Interface (FMI) Connections
The dual lane machine requires separate FMI communications for the print lane and the pass through lane
For the print lane, the normal DEK FMI rules apply If the DEK machine is connected to upline and downline machines/conveyors that use SMEMA, Fuji
or Panasonic communications protocol, an FMI pod is used If either of the communication protocols is not SMEMA, Fuji or Panasonic, a Multi-Interface Unit (MIU) must be used
For the pass through lane, if the DEK machine is connected to upline and downline machines/conveyors that use SMEMA, Fuji or Panasonic communi-cations protocol, connection is made to the M40 Dual Lane enclosure If either
of the communications protocol is not SMEMA, Fuji or Panasonic, an MIU must
be used

M40 Dual Lane Controller Pass Through Lane MIU
Trang 16There are many configurations depending on the rules mentioned previously Below is an example on how to connect two side-by-side printers to an upline and a downline machine/conveyor using MIU’s:
NOTE
1 The pass through lane MIU would not be required if the connecting upline and downline machines use SMEMA, Fuji or Panasonic communications protocol Connection would be made to the M40 Dual Lane enclosure
2 The print lane MIU would be replaced with an FMI pod (located at the rear
of the machine) if the connecting upline and downline machines use SMEMA, Fuji or Panasonic communications protocol.
Below is an example on how to connect two printers separated by a conveyor,
to an upline and a downline machine/conveyor using MIU’s:
NOTE The conveyor separating the printers must be considered as the downline machine to the rear print machine and the upline machine to the front print machine.
