Milara's TouchPrint Digital TD2929 Automatic Inline Printer Wins a 2009 NPI Award

Medfield, MA � April 2009 � Milara Inc. announces that it has been awarded an NPI Award in the category of Screen/Stencil Printing for its TouchPrint Digital TD2929 Automatic Inline Printer. The award was presented to the company during a Monday, March 30, 2009 ceremony that took place in the Mandalay Bay Resort & Convention Center in Las Vegas before the start of APEX 2009.

Milara introduces new SimuTechTM Technology on TD2929. A twin track system with dual overhead gantries allows for print, 2-D inspection, bottom-side stencil cleaning and dot dispensing simultaneously on two PCBs. This revolutionary technology renders existing printer designs and triple track systems obsolete.

TD2929 is a fully automatic inline printer that offers dot dispensing capability (first introduced in 2002 as �combined system technology�) for flexible solutions using cutting-edge Piezo dispensing technology and true high-speed operation at less than 5 seconds (excluding print).

Additional features include a dual digital servo positioning loop for highest possible alignment accuracies, paste bead dispense while printing, linear servo motion technology and heavy-duty construction for extra stability in multifunction operation. As a key benefit to users, the system features Milara's patented vibration printing and ultrasonic cleaning, and provides high-density bottom-side contour tooling support.

Premiering in 2008, the NPI Awards program is an annual celebration of product excellence in electronics surface mount assembly. Premier products based on the finest examples of creative advancement in technology are chosen by a distinguished panel of industry experts.
