DEK: TCM

TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE

The TCM is a precision temperature control module designed to enhance the Print Process by providing a highly stable and accurately controlled air temperature within DEK's range of printers.

The operating range of the TCM offers wide control of the proces s temperature either side of factory ambient. As applications become more varied the requirement to produce high yield results can be aided by the ability to heat as well as cool from factory ambient. Adhesive printing for example benefits from a temperature in the 25-30°C range, which is generally higher than conditioned factory ambient.

Conditioned air is fed from the TCM into the print area and returned via ducting located beneath the printer. Ducting design has been formed to achieve minimal airflow rates over the process area prolonging tack performance of solder pastes and increasing stencil life.

Due to it's optimised design and re-circulating system the TCM is energy efficient and requires minimal input power from a single-phase mains supply. Exhaust air is vented through the top of the TCM alleviating the need for any connection to factory extraction systems.

The TCM will automatically shutdown following a predetermined delay if the printer is powered down or covers are left open.

To monitor proc ess temperature the TCM utilises the output from the printers integrated Temperature Sensor located on the print carriage resulting in accurate feedback and control.

To prevent process contamination conditioned air is passed through a filter before entering the printer. The possibility of process contamination is further reduced due to the TCM maintaining a higher air pressure within the printer compared to the surrounding environment thus limiting the ingress of airborne particulates.

The Modules operating status is indicated by provision of a 'four colour' beacon clearly visible to line operators.

Any condensate produced can be gravity piped to drain or collected in an easy to empty 5-litre container. Two sensors monitor condensate level and give a warning via the beacon when container requires emptying. The TCM will automatically shut down if the container is not emptied to prevent overflow.

The TCM has been designed for robust reliable operation, resulting in a long lifetime product. Ergonomic modular design features allow for ease of maintenance without any requirement for specialist refrigeration resource.
