Trang 3There are three methods for housing and securing the stencil in the machine, the first is a fixed width system and is described in the Cast C Chase chapter, the second is also a fixed width system and is described in the Machined C Chase chapter, the third is an adjustable width system and is described in this chapter
The ASM module provides a receptacle for the stencil, which is clamped in the correct position for printing operations The module width can be easily adjusted by an operator to accommodate stencils from the standard 29 inches square through to 12 inches square with 250mm belt support plates and board clamps fitted or 29 inches square through to 23 inches square with 500mm belt support plates and board clamps fitted The stencil image can be front or centre justified
The pneumatic push buttons located on the inside of the front left and right hand web assemblies are operated, releasing all four web assemblies on the front and rear rail assembly guide shafts Releasing the web assemblies allows the user to adjust the position of the left and right hand chase rail assemblies, to accommodate for the appropriate size stencil
The stencil is loaded from the front of the machine and slid into the machine along the top of stencil support plates Three stencil location leaf springs, located in the right hand chase rail assembly, ensure that the stencil is held in the correct location for printing, against the stencil guide strips on the left hand chase rail assembly
The ASM is a floating assembly mounted on a bearing set The stencil is clamped in the ASM using pneumatically activated flaps that clamp the stencil
to the stencil support plates
The ASM is positioned to align the stencil to the correct printing position During printing the ASM is pneumatically clamped to the left and right printhead assemblies, to maintain the aligned position, by the stencil alignment module (for further details refer to the Screen Alignment Module chapter in this manual)
A screen at centre, through beam opto (long throw type), sensor consisting of
a transmitter and a receiver (Tx/Rx) is used to detect the presence of a stencil
in the ASM
There are three methods used for achieving correct position of the stencil within the ASM:
• Screen Depth Adjuster
• Auto Screen Loader
• Semi-Auto Screen Loader
NOTE
1 Only one of the above items would be fitted to the machine at any one time
2 Auto Screen Loader and Semi - Auto Screen Loader options are not available
Trang 4NOTE For further information on setting the screen depth adjuster, refer to Screen Depth Adjuster in the Adjustments and Settings section of this chapter.
Auto Screen
Loader
The auto screen loader (ASL) accurately positions the stencil/screen in the chase The asl is incorporated into the squeegee drip tray mechanism which is secured beneath the print carriage, therefore the drive is provided by the print carriage drive system
Initially the stencil is manually loaded and the front printhead cover is closed
When Load Screen is selected on the MMI, the asl is driven forward by the print
carriage to locate the rear edge of the stencil Once located, the asl is driven further forward allowing the asl lever to clear the inner face of the rear frame of the stencil The lever is driven down and the print carriage is reversed pulling the stencil to the rear of the chase The lever is retracted and the stencil change mechanism is driven rearwards allowing the lever to clear the rear face of the stencil The lever is lowered and the print carriage is driven forwards, pushing the stencil to the correct position Once the stencil is registered in the correct position for printing, the lever is retracted and the stencil is secured in position
Semi-Auto
Screen Loader
The semi-auto screen loader (S-ASL) positions the stencil after the operator has placed it in the chase The screen loader mechanism is incorporated into the squeegee drip tray mechanism which is secured beneath the print carriage, therefore the drive is provided by the print carriage drive system
When Load Screen is selected on the MMI, the s-asl is driven forward by the
print carriage to the correct load position The operator opens the printhead cover and loads a stencil into the machine until it abuts the s-asl lever This is the correct load position for the stencil If the stencil is not the correct one, the operator can unload it and replace it with the correct stencil The MMI posts a panel that questions the validity of the stencil after the cover is closed The
unload sequence is instigated by the operator selecting Unload Screen The
printhead cover is opened and the stencil is manually removed

Screen Depth
Adjuster
The stencil/screen depth adjuster has two scales as follows:
The rear of stencil to front of image scale, marked on the top of the screen depth adjuster, can be used for either centre justified or front justified stencils The scale has both imperial and metric units as follows:
• Metric - 150mm to 650mm
• Imperial - 6 inches to 26 inchesWhen using this scale it is set to the rear of stencil to front of image value The figure below shows this measurement for both centre and front justified stencils

Trang 7ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS
The centre justified image scale, marked on the side of the screen depth adjuster, can only be used for stencils that are 29 inches by 29 inches with a centre justified image For other stencil sizes with a centre justified image, the Rear of Stencil to Front of Image scale must be used
When using the centre justified image scale, the stencil depth adjuster is set to the board width value The scale has both imperial and metric units as follows:
• Metric - 0mm to 508mm
• Imperial - 0 inches to 20 inches
To set the stencil depth adjuster, use the following procedure:
1 Release the locking adjustment knob by turning it anti-clockwise
2 Set the measurement guide to either:
a The rear of stencil to front of image value, on the top scale, for either centre or front justified stencils
