Quality at a favorable entry level price: The new SMT E-Line includes three components for efficient prototyping and serial production of small batches.

"With the new system family LPKF presents a particularly economical solution for the assembly of SMT boards. The systems are limited to core demands and solve them with the precision typical for LPKF.” Bojan Zalar, Sales Manager at LPKF d.o.o. Slovenia, describes the positioning: "The E stands for both Economical as well as for Education - the three current systems are designed for both of these areas."

The LPKF ProtoPrint E is an affordable SMT stencil printer for metal and polymer stencils with a working area of 160 x 200 mm (6” x 8”). It comes with a double-sided tension frame for frameless stencils.

The second family member is the LPKF ProtoPlace E, a manual pick & place system designed for chip components like 0603, SOICs, smaller QFPs as microcontrollers and has 14 anti-static component boxes.

The convection oven, LPKF ProtoFlow E, offers reliable reflow soldering over the entire board; even with lead-free solder materials. The temperature limit is 320°C (608°F). The reflow oven is perfectly tuned to the LPKF ProtoPrint E with a working area of 160 x 200 mm (6” x 8”). A viewing window in the drawer allows insights into the illuminated work space, and a USB option enables the LPKF ProtoFlow E to be controlled by a PC.

LPKF sees a range of applications within the established concept for in-house rapid PCB prototyping. The E-Line complements the existing components with a particularly economical functionality.
