The ProFlow mechanism is driven backwards and forwards across the stencil
by the print carriage applying printable material directly onto the stencil. This
alleviates the need for squeegees and a paste dispenser.
The ProFlow mechanism is raised and lowered, to the stencil by means of a
stepper motor, applying a downward force directly onto the stencil providing a
positive seal between the transfer head and stencil. This eliminates leakage of
print material above the stencil.
Paste pressure (pneumatic), is applied to the piston crosshead exerting a force
onto the print material which, in turn, forces print material into the ProFlow
conditioning chamber and into the stencil apertures.
As the unit moves across the stencil the trailing wiper, within the transfer head,
lifts the print material from the stencil surface, clearing the stencil of print
material and creating a rolling movement of material within the conditioning
chamber.

The sensor used to detect paste is:
• ProFlow Paste Level Sensor - Giant Magneto resistive (displays to the
operator a percentage of paste remaining (time-to-go))
The sensor is fitted to the left hand side pressure mechanism pneumatic
actuator, as shown in the figure below.

The following configurations of ProFlow are available for use on the machine:
Cassette The ProFlow cassette is available in 300mm size only (capacity approximately
800g - 850g solder paste).
Transfer Head The table below lists the types of optional transfer head units and sizes
available, for use with ProFlow:
NOTE
All of the above cassette transfer heads are fitted with the standard 300mm
cassette and 300mm piston crosshead. A dedicated piston crosshead is
required for each rechargeable transfer head size.
