I've never tracked the life of a stencil, but if your seeing an decrease in the life of your stencil you may want to look at the printer itself. What kind of printers are you using? I'm more familiar with MPM screen printers and I have seen were cert

We successfully re-print mis-prints all of the time. We have SPI machines at every printer that let us know if it is OK or not. Sometimes dealing with the solder defect is better than cleaning the mis-print. It is very difficult not to wedge solder

Dear Friends, I am handling a new project, and search for a solder paste stencil printer (automatic or semi-automatic) for lead free solder paste. The one I had looked for is MPM3000 series, however, what I heard from other freinds, those model is

When no-clean flux and no-clean soldering first came out in the late 80's / early 90's, there were lots of White Papers written about conformal coating adhesion and no-clean flux. I'm pretty sure all CC's will adhere to today's chemistries. To be o

| I am fairly new to the SMT game and I am getting conflicting answers to the following. Maybe someone can help me! When printing, one person is telling me that the stencil should be wiped completely clean of all paste because the quality of the

3 Printer Area Conditions * As stated earlier, heat and humidity are damaging to solder paste. Ideally, the printing area should be maintained at 40% - 50% relative humidity and 72°- 80°F (22-26°C). In addition, no air (cool or warm) should blow dire

Hi, We are looking for the best method to clean dried solder paste and residue from screen printers and wave solder equipment. What do you use for vacuuming? For breathing protection?

Hi I just would like to ask some assistance how to convert a line using a leaded process to a lead-free process? Is there a need for us to change any equipment? printer/reflow? Currently, we are not yet in full 100% lead-free process yet so most lik

John we paced through the same question recently. Both automatic dispensers and printers can be used to deposit SMT adhesive or solder paste on substrates with a relatively high component density. Dispensers are superior to printers in terms of exa
