The QTS Wizard Frame Quick Tensioning system will be on display in the HITACHI HP-07 Printer at IPC/APEX 2013, in booth #2440. The Wizard Stencil Stretch Frame System is designed to save time, costs, shipping, and waste over the old labor-intensive industry method of assembling custom cast aluminum or tubular frames and stencil foils.
This is video shows how to print a PCB using a prototype foil only stencil. The SMT prototype stencil (www.soldertools.net) is made from a high nickel content material able to offer repeatable high precision apertures. The steps of alignment, printin
