| I use a Transition Automation Semi- Automatic stencil printer with laser cut frameless stencils. My solder paste is an SN63/PB37 RMA 291. I do not operate with in a controlled humidity enviroment. The room temp generally runs around 70 deg's but hu

Nancy, The mounting hole locations in most standard frames are the universal in both the screen and stencil industry, more over some of the newer machines clamp the frame in place. Most printers are very adjustable this way. If you were using a "qu

could be a printer or stencil issue. try to check your printing repeatability. Suggest to use SPI for a checking paste volume/height/area.A regular stencil cleaning may reduced your headache.

standard procedure for this would be to solder SMDs on the bottom side and the LEDs all at once on the wave - if the layout is ok for the wave. You would have to glue the SMD components, for this you would have to use a glue dispenser or a special hi

Hello Eniac, 1/- Insufficient solder paste, check your print (Printer/Stencil). 2/- If you've got good paste deposit, that could be contaminated pads causing poor solderability. Good luck.

We typically wipe the boards with a lint free wipe soaked in the same under stencil cleaning solution we use in our printer, then run it through our spray-in-air stencil wash.

Hi, There are a number of things you can try. You are already using 1:1 hole to pad ratio, and that's good as you need the size. I would try an electroform stencil as that will have a smooth side of the aperture and help paste release. Don't use c

Steve, I'd stop worrying about the in-line feature of the printer, I've never really seen an in-line system that wasn't capable of batch operation and there will be very little, if any, cost saving associated with going batch load only. An in-line m

MPM AP-27 preferred over MPM AP-20 The issue is release of paste from the stencil. A vertical lift printer kinda snaps the stencil away from the board to complete the print cycle. The inertia and the rheometric properties of the paste make it rele
