We're with the Ozzy's earlier posting on this thread. We make similar products, like: * Phantom products that are mostly complete and then are configured to order by adding or subtracting a couple of parts and some jumpers. * Version products like y

What the heck are you doing having scotch tape in the plant? Isn't there a concern for ESD safety? Ban the scotch tape, then they won't have something to block the apertures with.

Boy, does this sound familiar. I agree with Dave, especially his point about board side taping. The kapton tape has a thickness of approximately 2mils. You artificially increase your paste thickness with this method. It also can be a cause for br

Why not quantify the amount of time spent taping apertures every time you want to use the stencil vs. the cost of a new stencil (about $300, usually)? Look for problems that are created by the blocked aperture method - is there rework down the line t

One thing everyone missed is what is the goal of the company. To make money!!! So how many boards per week are you shipping now and how many would you be shipping if you had seperate stencils or a DISPENSER. With quality being number one always the

I recently started at a new company. They have a variety of bare PCB's and most have aprox. 20 variations. Maybe about 1/3 of each board on average are non-populated locations. They buy one stencil for each PCB but then use scotch tape to block of

Something you'll want to consider is what happens with bits of tape that become relocated due to manual or automatic wiping. I've seen them block fine pitch apertures and create an insufficient solder condition that, guess what, wound up in the hand

Stephen, I don't understand this at all mate. 1. If you don't place a QFP and get bridging across the bare pads, you were gonna get absolutely horrendous bridging if you did put one down. That points to poor printer set up or stencil design or both

Hi Ken, We would build a one off with an exact number of components on a different line, in a different manor completely to a volume, chipshooter job - however, we'd only really be doing a one off like that if it was a prototype as we're not in that

Hi there, I'm pretty new to the SMT manufacturing stuff, please be kind. I have to mask up some parts of a stencil. Is there a recommendation for some masking tape I could use? It should be sticky enough for temporary use but not that sticky that i
