INTRODUCTION TO T11

The Tannlin T11 combines over 25 years of experience of building stencil cutting systems in an optimised stencil laser production system. High speed, high accuracy cutting is coupled with technologies such as measurement, simultaneous automatic optical inspection and welded step stencil capability.

DYNAMIC LASER CONTROL

Tannlin Dynamic Laser Control is a major breakthrough in high speed laser machining technology. Unlike other laser systems used for thin metal cutting (0.01 – 0.5 mm), Tannlin laser systems can be specified with our high speed Dynamic Laser Control (DLC).

To illustrate how advanced our DLC is, consider that our fastest laser systems can cut 60,000 apertures per hour. The cutting time for a single feature can be as little as 30 ms, during which time, the motion control is constantly changing speed. No other laser machine is able to dynamically change laser control during such a short time period.

The Tannlin system will correct speed at a high frequency for a very small shape. It does this using an advance motion control algorithm that constantly corrects the cutting speed and also matches the laser parameters perfectly to the current speed during that task.

TANNLIN MULTILEVEL

Tannlin’s proprietary welded step stencil process enables high accuracy step stencils to be cut and welded on the same system without any physical machine setup changes. Multi-level stencils provide greater flexibility and control in the print process over a standard SMT stencil.

ADVANCED OPTICAL INSPECTION

T11 enables users to inspect 100% of apertures for cut and location concurrently during the cutting process reducing the risk of defects. In the event of an issue, the defect can be reworked on the machine without removal allowing for perfect alignment.

Full aperture analysis can be selected for as many apertures as desired and integrated seamlessly into production to produce a full Certificate of Conformance directly from the machine.
