Atlanta, GA – ASYS will exhibit the highly accurate and fast XS2 Screen Printer for printing solar cells, wafers or thin ceramic substrates, which is equipped with a patented optical edge recognition system, at the upcoming Intersolar show in San Francisco. The show will be held from July 13-15, 2010 at the Moscone Center.

The XS2 Screen Printer detects the edge of the substrate from below with 3 (optionally 5) in-table integrated CCD cameras and automatically aligns the screen with the substrate. The screen is set up in seconds, and no test prints are necessary. The printer has a user-friendly, self-explanatory user interface, which covers the entire machine status and registers errors in plain text. Coupled with the ASYS VISION module, the XS2 provides the required repeatability for double print and selective emitter technologies, making it a future ready investment.
