Your SPI machine will tell you.

Just visually inspect the squeegee everyday. If there is some damage you will notice right away ....and yes you will start to get bad prints.

Hi everybody, In our company we wanted to add to our maintenance a method of detecting when a blade is damaged so we can change it before it affects our printing process. I have talked with our squeegee manufacturer for recommendations but they have

I'm not sure eyesight is needed to check for blade damage. Close your eyes. Run your finger along the edge of the blade. If you feel any roughness or "catching" as your finger drags, then you have a damaged blade. SPI would tell you this as well,

I have never witnessed a "worn out" stencil in my 30+ years. Take that with a grain of salt..My environment is CM so stencil usage is somewhat limited. I have seen "coined" stencils. They look funky but some schools of thought say they work better

Good morning, Thank you for assistance. I�m not so experienced with MPM maintenance. Explain me please what is the difference between �squeegee down force� and �squeegee pressure�? Squeegee pressure is set so 5-6 Kg. How can I check squeegee down fo

It's been a while but I believe the UP2000's should have a calibration for the squeegee height as well. I think you log in under the Calibrate or Maintenance then that should give you access to the menu you need. Once you find it I'm pretty sure it w

Cartridges/dispenser systems supply even paste volume to the screen. This will help provide the most consistent squeegee roll as well as paste deposition on PCB. Messier, though = much printer maintenance. Some people also like to use a caulking g

Thanks for the answers guys. I knew it had something to do with the calibration menus. It had just been so long since I had to do maintenance to an MPM printer. I had been working with DEKs and Ekras for the past 6 years.
