I used to work for an OEM that made professional audio equipment (studio monitors, mixing boards, etc.). The mixers required precise alignment of LEDs, switches, and pots in the sheet metal so we used aluminum alignment fixtures during wave solder. T

I have a few questions: Why are you unable to panelize an aluminum board? We run aluminum boards all the time utilizing both V-Score and Routed designs. Panelization aside, what are the issues that you run into at printing? Are you trying to print

Yes, using an illuminated magnifing glass helps. How well your board fixuring is on the table will effect print alignment on other boards loaded. 0.5mm & 0.4mm will require very good fixuring, like you can get with tooling pins if the board has non-p

Yes I agree with Emil that the Jig/Fixture design is crucial for alignment. The hot-bar machine I worked with came with a digital camera and monitor to aid with alignment. Other than that, the right profile (heat, pressure and dwell), and a good fl

Watch out for workmanship specs. I don't believe this is covered under IPC-A-610. You may have to write your own. Alignment of the fixture and coplanarity of the bar and substrate are key. Also, pay close attention to stencil aperture and thicknes

We have a ceramic BGA that the component supplier has misaligned the spheres in the fixture so they slant .007" out of alignment from the substrate pads. When the devices are tested at the component manufacturer this alignment issue also causes the

We recently aquired an old MPM-AP25 stencil printer that printed paste with a large error (about .060 inches). I concluded camera alignment to be the cause but was surprised by the magnitude. I found the camera beam splitter prism misaligned and loos

John, We tape (usually high temp tape) flex to a fixture (usually 0.090" piece of bare FR4). We make an outline on the fixture to get a rough location then use fiducials on the flex for alignment. Print, place, reflow, cool, remove flex. When the

Hi all, We have an assembly which features non-plated tooling holes used to align the board in a bed of nails style test fixture. This assembly is rather small, and as such, the test points are pretty small as well. We have found that some variation
