Used Mycronic SMT Machines for Sale 9

Mycronic (formerly Mydata Automation, originally MY Data) has pioneered jet printing technology for solder paste deposition — a fundamentally different approach that eliminates the stencil required by conventional screen printing. This technology addresses the growing challenge of high-mix SMT production where stencil changeover between different PCB designs creates significant production downtime.

The MY300 and MY600 jet printers deposit solder paste by individually jetting each paste deposit through piezoelectric actuators. Each deposit is independently controlled for volume, position, and timing, enabling different paste volumes for different component pads on the same board — an impossibility with stencil printing where all apertures produce the same paste height.

For production environments running dozens or hundreds of different PCB designs per day — contract electronics manufacturers, prototype houses, and high-mix production — the stencil-free approach eliminates the time and cost of stencil procurement, storage, cleaning, and changeover. The economic advantage grows directly with the number of different designs processed.

Jet printer deposit accuracy is competitive with conventional stencil printing for most pad geometries. Ultra-fine-pitch components (below 0.3mm pitch) may still benefit from conventional stencil printing where paste volume control at the smallest aperture sizes provides advantages.

Placement machines from Mycronic serve high-mix assembly with focus on changeover efficiency and programming simplicity rather than maximum placement speed. The machines suit production environments where product diversity outweighs the requirement for peak throughput on individual designs.

The Mycronic software ecosystem — MYPlan production planning and MYCenter machine programming — provides integrated production management for jet printing and placement. Software licence and version compatibility should be verified on used machines.

Browse used Mycronic SMT machines on Exapro to compare MY300/MY600 jet printers and placement machine configurations from verified sellers worldwide.

When evaluating used Mycronic SMT machines on Exapro, verify jet printer deposit accuracy and volume consistency through test boards with representative pad geometries, check jetting nozzle condition and maintenance status, test placement machine accuracy and speed, confirm software licence transferability and version compatibility, and verify that the combined jet printing and placement capability matches your specific high-mix assembly requirements.
