Didn't you hear? Fendelaz went out of business and sold the rights to the Magnaplancil to Amahlmahay. Sure, all the standard variables still affect the print quality (aka registration and volume) but if the machine controls everything but paste di

You can get a new DEK ELA fully automated stencil printer with vaccuum cartridge under stencil cleaning and 2D board inspection for well under $90K. I just bought another one for my second line. We currently do 0402s and 16 mil pitch with wonderful

Hi, We're looking to buy a second user stencil printer with fully automated alignment and ideally 2D solder inspection. We're looking at DEK and we use their 23" Vectorguard stencils already, but can anyone advise a particular model. Probably someth

Paste Inspection is critical to the overall printing process. There are at least 40 variables to this process. The idea of using only 2D printer inspection or worse yet, 3D (marginal at best) printer inspection demonstrates a serious gap in coverin

We are currently examining the issue of AOI machines (both in-line and off-line) It seems that the only positive remarks I find are written by the salespeople representing AOI manufacturers. Can someone please refer me to a more neutral source? My in
