Mekko Technologies is a reliable, privately owned business specialising in our own UK manufactured conveyor ovens and humidity controlled drying and storage equipment. We are also distributors for MDC automatic pick & place machines and ScreenArt manual printers for solder paste. New, ex-demonstration and refurbished equipment can be supplied, all with full guarantees and after-sales support.

We have over twenty years' experience in manufacturing conveyor ovens for solder reflow, and more recently for the catering trade. About five years ago we designed our "Active Desiccant" drying and storage cabinets as a better alternative to nitrogen and baking ovens. Our new range of cabinets offers an efficient means of actively drying components as well as simple dry storage.

One of the main benefits of our design is that the drying unit is switched on and off by an output from the microprocessor controlled humidity meter. This means that if a door is opened and the humidity rises, then the drying unit will switch on straight away to bring the humidity swiftly back to spec.

There is little maintenance required, and the rotary desiccant absorption/regenerating dryer unit allows continuous dehumidifying without interruption. The rotating desiccant wheel both dries and regenerates at the same time! Outstanding dehumidifying results are easily achieved. The internal humidity is guaranteed to less than 3%RH, to exceed the requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033B industry standard.

Normally less than 2 minutes to return to <5%RH after a door is opened!

The Mekko cabinets are built in the UK, and now incorporate our own MTX-Flow Technology Dehumidifier for rapid moisture removal from components.

The humidity sensor probes used in our cabinets are very high accuracy instruments, and are far superior to our competitors. Most suppliers use sensor probes with an accuracy of only +/-3%RH. Our probes are calibrated against a factory working standard instrument which is calibrated by Rotronic in accordance with the requirements of the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS). This results in an uncertainty of less than 1%RH at a displayed reading in our cabinets of 5%RH at 23 degrees C.


 
Also popular in the UK over the last 20 years has been the MDC range of pick & place machines. Component alignment is achieved by flying vision camera. The lower cost, modular approach to surface mount assembly has been extremely popular in the UK. We can supply table-top and floor standing machines at a very attractive price, with the flexibility of changing or adding on as production rates increase. For information about MDC pick & place machines, please contact Mekko Technologies or visit MDC's website: http://www.mdc-smt.co.jp or search for "MDC pick and place" and see various links to ladyada.net, freaklabs.org, youtube etc.  



 
A full production line can be supplied, with solder paste printer, pick & place equipment, and solder reflow oven.
 
The Screen Art Manufacturing SAM4 is a robust, easy to use, reliable stencil printer for the application of solder paste to substrates.

Standard screen frame size is 20" x 17" (510 x 430mm). This makes the printer compatible with other manufacturers' frames, including the cost effective "self tensioning" frames currently on the market. Optional wider frames are also available.

For use with high quality precision metal foil stencils, or lower cost mesh screens.

The substrate table is adjustable horizontally for X, Y axis and rotation. The screen frame is adjustable for vertical height up to 20mm. This printer incorporates a frame clamping method which allows the customer the possibility of using many different screen or stencil frame types.
