I'm in a manufacturing environment with a very high mix of boards, and some low-mid volume. A "large" production run might consist of 100 boards. Volume: There are numerous boards that have a volume of 1-3 pieces. There are a few boards with an annua

I would scrap it. As you said part of it is going to be old paste. All manufacturers don't recommend mixing old with new paste because you change the rheology of the paste.

Normally paste manufacturer specifies stencil life of a paste is 10 hours. the question is, if i run a continuous manufacturing for 40 hours, we will be adding 250 g of paste for every two hours. The addition of 250 g will be mixed with the paste whi

Define "expired" though... 1 week? 6 weeks? 1 month? 6 months? Unrefrigerated life is generally 30 days. If paste has been stored refrigerated at manufacturer recommended temperatures, what would you guys do, like say, if you owned your own shop

Is that accurate? If so, what are your aspect & area ratios? [Similar to the JerryS comment above.] * You say, � � and the average height is very high: nearly 200 pct.� => Our troop can make paste that height too. They snap the stencil-off a fast as

Hello Ok there is not much info here. What you have to mae sure of is several key factors. 1. Have you entered the correct stencil thickness. 2. Are you using the stencil gerber (not the paste layer) The paste layer is usually not adjusted for ap

I'm new to SMT. Now, i'm making program for SPI machine to inscpect for solder paste of SP60-MU. I think this is a very good printer but some times, my program shows only 50-60% of volume transfer; and the average height is very high: nearly 200 pct.

Hi, I'm from a semiconductor package assembly, and currently looking for an offline solder paste inspector capable of true volume measurement. Any recommendation for a machine that can measure paste volume on a leadframe (metal substrate)? I found

can we use the expired solder paste and put in a solder pot of wave machine?

Hey!!! Watch it!!! I don�t want to get you believing too much of this stuff. But if you bought that, listen to this � some circuits are so critical with that skin effect stuff that they use silver as the top level solderability preservative. Turn
