8.1.2.2 Purpose
The PRHM monitors the amount of paste on the stencil during the rearward print stroke. This is
achieved by using a laser beam to measure the top of the paste roll. As the software knows the dis-
tance to the stencil, it can calculate the height of the paste roll.
The system can:
●
Suspend print if too much paste is detected
●
Suspend print if too little paste is detected
●
Warn when a user defined lower limit is reached
If, combined with an automatic paste dispenser it can also add paste, independent of pre-defined
paste management settings (see Note below)
NOTE
If a PRHM is fitted and enabled and a paste dispenser is fitted and enabled the dispense rate para-
meters are ignored. PRHM determines when paste is dispensed by the height set in the minimum
paste warning parameter.
8.1.2.3 PRHM Assembly
The PRHM assembly consists of a laser photoelectric sensor mounted on the squeegee mechan-
ism. The laser is angled allowing the sensor to project the laser beam between the squeegees to
the paste roll.

The squeegee drip tray mechanism is secured below the print carriage and behind the squeegee
mechanism. The drip tray’s pneumatic actuator extends the drip tray below the squeegees to pre-
vent print medium from dripping onto the stencil during print carriage initialisation or auto stencil
loading. Magnets hold the drip tray in place and can easily be unhooked for easy cleaning.
There are two sizes of drip tray:
●
460mm
●
360mm

8.1 OVERVIEW
128 TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL DEK TQ 04/2021
To prevent a collision with the drip tray,a short drip tray (360mm) should be used in conjunction
with a stencil size of 6320mm
(24.409") or less.
The drip tray retracted sensor is used by software to check that the pneumatic actuator has retrac-
ted the drip tray fully before lowering the squeegees.
The rubber bumper stop prevents a collision with the stencil load mechanism when retracting.
