The MX-2 is a new semi-automatic screen and stencil printer designed specifically to meet exacting precision and reliability requirements.

The new Ekra MX-2 is a highly efficient, precise and flexible printer for thick film, hybrid and solar cell applications.

This semi-automatic system is ideal for general screen and stencil printing applications, and is particularly suited to fast prototyping, pilot production and medium volume manufacturing sites.

The standard machine is equipped with a print table adjustable in the x, y and theta directions, as well as a vacuum circuit in the print table.

The print table is controlled by a pneumatic cylinder for accurate positioning and moves out laterally to the right to simplify loading and unloading.

This feature helps to reduce cycle times.

Handling is controlled via the easy to use and self-explanatory Ekra interface.

For example, error messages are displayed in plain text, and a text editor allows additional product-related information to be entered and stored on the built-in hard disk.

The robust and uncomplicated machine requires very little maintenance, further reducing production costs.
