The GL-Star is a fully automatic stencil printer specifically designed to meet the demands of modern SMT production lines. With high-precision machine vision, innovative clamping mechanisms, and fully automated processes, the GL-Star ensures perfect printing results, reduces manual intervention, and boosts your production efficiency.

Combining precision, flexibility, and Industry 4.0 readiness, the GL-Star stencil printer is equipped with intelligent features such as automatic stencil alignment and optional upgrades. It is the ideal choice for manufacturers aiming to improve quality and efficiency in their SMT operations.

The stencil Y-position is adjustable via user interface, and the settings can be saved and reapplied when replacing the stencil. This function significantly reduces human errors and saves time in readjusting stencil position.

The stencil lock vacuum suction firmly holds the stencil on both sides of the conveyor during printing cycle, eliminating stencil vibration by having firm contact with the PCB.

2 machines back-to-back are perfect match for dual-lane SMT line. Therefore, the internal structure of the GL-Star is pre-assembled in back-to-back configuration. It can be used as a stand-alone unit, or additional equipment can be seamlessly added in a back-to-back mode in future.

The PCB clamper is a combination of retractable top clamp and motor controlled side clamp, uniquely designed by GKG (patented). With these standard features, all of today’s available and challenging substrates can be securely clamped and print to the highest quality.

Through machine status, parameters can be uploaded automatically. Designed to support customers’ advancement towards Industry 4.0 intelligence production, GL-Star provides seamless connection with users’ MES system, enhancing product traceability and maintenance needs.

With SPI closed-loop system, machine will automatically adjust and correct the print deposits based on the feedback given with regards to poor printing quality. This will facilitate improved print quality and production efficiency, by forming a complete printing feedback system.

Tracing solder paste rolling diameter in real time and trigger the auto dispensing if it falls below 10 mm. Completely eliminate insufficient solder paste on stencil and keep the paste rolling speed within optimum range to achieve best printing result with this smt printer.

The paste is automatically dispensed across the entire squeegee length, maintaining at 15 mm rolling diameter, adopting the common 500 grams’ solder paste jar. Completely eliminates the wastage of solder paste overflowing to the sides of squeegee.

Using panel light installed at the top and CCD camera below to inspect stencil apertures. It automatically detects the clogging of stencil apertures to eliminate poor quality stencil being used, ensure quality printing right from the start.

The temperature and humidity display system provides real-time monitoring of the internal temperature and humidity status of the equipment. This system is beneficial for monitoring and extending the lifespan of solder paste to ensures printing quality.
