It is sort of a self answering question if you come in from the solder paste angle. First....start gathering data. Check every day, or every new paste jar, for: Storage conditions (temp), paste expiration date, ambient temp and humidity where yo

The added benefit to MPM SP's is that, it forces the operator to look at quality. She won't have 2d or 3d to rely on. Also, it places heavy emphasis on a good setup.

We are a small OEM that runs a high mix/low volume environment. Typical runs are a couple or five hundred boards, one or two products per day. Currently, we are using a Quad DeHart SLC-20 semi-automatic stencil printer. (alignment is manual, printing

Agreed. Your "leads" are fairly small compared to the PAD area, so you leave your part lots of room to "stretch it's legs". One thing that I have trouble communicating to my operators is that placement does not have to be perfect, and neither does t

If there is no specific quality reason, stay with paste. More processes you add, more points of failure. They don't need a lot of paste to get attached to the board. The ones I used were 8mil round apertures, so I did cut 1:1 on a 3 mil coated stenci

Problem 1: Solder shortage * Stencil aperatures [except the heat slug] should be 1:1 with the board. * Stencil should be 5 thou thick laser cut. * Board should be 1:1 with the component * Print should look good. Problem #2: Bad connection between p

Good morning, In this case separation speed doesn�t affect print quality. Separation speed decrease makes print quality the same or worse. Apertures still remain blocked. Any ideas? Thanks. BR, Pavel

Hi This is what i think: 1. Screen printing is fast and dispenser is quite slow 2. Quality is poor on screen printing. Quality is very good on dispenser (dispenser must have screw+pressure function). 3. Screenprinter (automatic) and dispenser (auto

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

We want to perform a "design of experiments" session to determine the optimum settings for our pasteprinter.We will design a stencil with decreasing aperture-sizes to make it measurable where the printing stops. The result should be a measureable pri
