Clint, You may want to call KJ Marketing Services, a Canadian company that fabricates plastic laser cut stencil. They call it "Kepoch stencil" This material was originally developed by Dupont, and patented and marketed by KJ. It was available for

I wouldn't expect them to define squeegee speeds any more than they would tell me which printer, squeegee blade, or surface metallization to use. Start at 1"/sec. and see what it looks like. Try 2"/sec and .5"/sec. and see if they're any worse or b

Hello. Sometimes metal squeegees DO work with stepped stencils. You will always get much better results with metal squeegees compared to polymer blades. The only requirement for the metal squeegee to work, you need about 0.06 in clearance for eve

Hello PMD Don't feel like that, we live with these MPM's. And we have over 10 years experience. Also never mess with the down stop on any MPM and you will be better off. Most of mpm's machines have a down stop of .0750 and it should never be cha

Challenges: The basic defects that impact assembly yield are bridging, satellite solder balls, and opens (i.e. tombstones / draw bridges). There are many variables with the stencil printing process that can impact these; several of them are listed

Hi, It seems weird that an automated pick and place machine at a board shop would not be up to NASA standards, but placing the components by hand would be. However most SMT will self center a bit, so if your close enough, you should be ok. You rea

Once you know what your print should look like, means you have found the right apertures, stencil thickness, stencil finish and the right printer adjustments and alignments, the main things to watch for or better to control when printing is in progre

I have recently completed a HUGE screen-printing DOE. I used Taguchi methodology and man I got good results! Here is what I learned for what it's worth: (p.s. to the MPM apps guy I sent a copy to Tim Gillis, Lou Fuda, etc...) EFab vs. Laser: EFab
