The Cassette
The solder paste cassette is made up of a holder with a motor assembly and a
paste cartridge.
On the backside of the holder you will find a circuit board which connects the
cassette and machine.
The cassette is a unit with intelligence. It has an electronic ID. The cassette
memory stores, paste type, selects machines settings, and enables fast change
overs of cassettes. This enables a switch from leaded paste to leadfree in
seconds.
The paste cartridge is inserted into the holder and locked in place with a
shackle. The motor will feed paste in to the ejector. In the ejector there is a
piezo unit which generates the force to eject solder paste. Paste spillage is
sucked into a filter box.
