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

Why scrap paste if there is no degradation of performance? Do your own study to determine this.

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.

Pressure printing systems Conventional stencil printing techniques have fundamental limitations as regards paste handling: The volume of paste available for printing is limited, so frequent replenishment is necessary Paste is difficult to c

Has anyone tried using a product thet when applied to a stencil, it facilitates the release of solder paste from the stencil, including the fine pitch openings. It makes the stencil's surface "fluxophobic". Same principle as Rain-X for windshield. A

I think you are referring to nano coatings. Try google nano coated stencils

Due to an foul up on my part, a circuit board ECO snuck up on me and I have a solder paste stencil that doesn't quite match the board. Two pads are off by about half a pad each. Can the solder paste stencil be modified? If so, what is the technique

My question is refering to "stencil life". How accurate is this and is this something I can go by. The solder paste I am using is Kester R562, R562 specifications state that it has a 12 hour stencil life, optimal temp ranges 70-77 F, 35-65% RH. Ou

We normally disregard what the "tech" sheets say. A lot of it has to do with your printer settings, prints per hour, placement time, stencil cleaning procedures etc... Just another wrench to throw in, We have noticed lot to lot paste differences al
