Many years ago, we used to double print. The way we did it was with a rubber squeegee set to do a flood stroke, followed by a return cleaning stroke with a metal squeegee. Why?! Well, this was in the days before Laser etch, and because the chem bat

SMT-ers I notice that most suppliers provide data that is eye-catching but avoid providing data of significant technical relevance, such as Cp and Cpk. It would perhaps be a wise idea for standards to be formulated in this area. For eg., ma

Care must be taken to not apply an excess of material, as the adhesive will flow under the device during placement and curing, and could cause a short. Printer setup: * Don't worry about stencil thickness. A wide range of stencil thicknesses (typic

Good day, Problem appears only with 0.5mm pitch components. Print quality for these components is unacceptable. Paste type isn�t new for us. No any tape on the bottom of the stencil. We apply enough pressure on squeegees, stencil remains clear after

I used an Ultraprint 2000 so if that's what you use then maybe I might be able to help. First, I'm assuming that you've already passed the Teach New Board section. This is board dimension, X and Y boardstop, stencil/squeegee heights and strokes. If

I am printing a ceramic paste through a 160 mesh screen that should have a theoretical wet print thickness of 53um but the only way I can get the print that thin is to increase down stop and slow the stroke. This is causing problems with the mesh, s

Hello. Sometimes metal squeegees DO work with stepped stencils. You will always get much better results with metal squeegees compared to polymer blades. The only requirement for the metal squeegee to work, you need about 0.06 in clearance for eve

Hi: Your stencil specs are good; Did you check the stencil thickness? It would be worth a ck since there may be an error from the stencil mfr If the paste is not releasing with good stencil specs, these are possible causes: 1 The paste isn't tou
