Squeegee Scan III
スキージスキャンIII
The super-thin sensor detects pressure balance in real time!
Features and benefits
· The portable system is useful for field work.
· Pressure balance is displayed in easy-to-see bar charts.
· Because squeegee load value and balance are displayed in real time, printer adjustment is simplified.
· The sensor sheet thickness is about 0.25 mm, providing measuring conditions extremely close to actual field conditions.
· This system reduces initial machine adjustment time and defect ratio, contributing to yield improvement.
· The sensor provides two levels of sensitivities.
· The reusable sensor sheet is cost-saving. (Note 1)
· This system is superior to the conventional Squeegee Scan III in terms of speed, accuracy and operability.
Application
·Surface mounting technology (SMT) ·Liquid crystal display (LCD) ·Plasma display (PDP)
·Hybrid IC (HIC) ·Flexible board ·Solar battery
·Printed circuit board (PCB) ·Multilayer capacitor ·Printing machinery, etc.

PC
Conform to the manual for the Palm device.
The "Palm ToWin.exe" software that enables backup data to be used on a PC is compatible with Windows only. To reuse the backup data on a PC, use an IBM PC/AT-compatible PC. For OS, use any of Windows 98/Me/2000/XP.
The equipment marked with an asterisk can be used for both "Roller Scan" and "Nip Scan".
(Note 1) The sensor sheet durability varies depending on the operating environment and frequency.
(Note 2) The saturated pressure is based on the NITTA original pressurizing method. It does not indicate a measuring range.
(Note 3) Use an appropriate Palm device distributed at the time of system sales. For details, contact NITTA CORPORATION when you purchase it.
(Note 4) The sensor sheet service life varies depending on the operating environment and frequency. At the time of purchase, specify the number of sensor sheets required.
(Note 5) Operation of the Palm device can be guaranteed only when the device included in the standard configuration is used.
