The MPM Edison is an innovative new platform of next-generation printers sharing software, controls, and advanced technologies on a scalable platform. Featuring outstanding speed, accuracy, and performance surpassing best-in-class SMT printers worldwide, Edison is built to excel in every way, with patented features throughout its design. Edison operates at twice the speed and 25% higher accuracy than current printers, and delivers an unheard-of higher throughput than competitive printers –15 seconds total throughput, including printing and stencil wipe cycle.  Edison delivers double the throughput of best-in-class printers worldwide.

Edison features built-in 8 micron alignment, and 15 micron wet print repeatability (>2 Cpk @ 6σ) proven through 3rd party Print Capability Analysis (PCA) testing. This represents a 25% improvement in wet print accuracy over current best-in-class printing machines. Edison performs superbly with SMT Fine Pitch solder paste printing for small apertures (<.3mm CSP’s, 01005’s), and Edison is powered by an intuitive, new software operating system, Intueri, that’s easy to set up and use.
