| i am trying to design a stencil fixture for manual printing. has anyone done this before or has an idea? thanks | There are sooo many variables; product size, 1 vs. 2 sided boards, support, component size, pitch, stencil alignment, PCB thickness,

Adam- Mikie here. I too am placing 2 PBGA sockets on an assembly but they aren't mirror imaged. Thanks to the SMT Gods for that one. You say you added more paste to solve for open solder. Do you have x-ray? Were the alignments perfect? Also the part

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

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

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
