Hi Bill, Please let me refresh your memory� On April 1, 1999, the United States Environmental Protection Agency sent you a letter based on what they called �inaccurate� statements made by SmartSonic (ironically on SMTNET.COM). EPA letter dated Apr

According to a paper by Richard Clouthier, published in 1996, there are two major factors about normal cleaning chemistries that may affect stencil adhesives. 1) Elevated temperature above 110 degrees F. (45 degrees C). Stencil adhesives are heat c

The issue is not with the stencil cleaner, it is with the construction of the fiducial. Ultrasonics is very effective in cleaning and penetrating into small microscopic cracks and crevices (this is one reason why ultrasonic stencil cleaners are so

I'm interested in hearing how many forum fans are interested in blatant advertising in the forum pages. At least Mike listed everyone instead of tooting his own horn. Some vendors support sites like these by buying banners and such. How effective

You should check the archives, there has been much written on this subject in the past. Asking about the correct chemistry is wise. It never ceases to amaze me how many people think ultrasonics will work without the proper chemistry. Without the rig

Hi Yannick, Smart Sonic has just introduced the "Assembly Module" to their StencilScan AOI software package. By adding the Assembly Module to StencilScan AOI, one workstation allows you to inspect and compare the stencil to the PCB and Gerber data a

Hello Frank, Just a quick note regarding the use of your Smart Sonic Stencil Cleaning process for cleaning PCBs; if the boards are populated, some components my require an ultrasonic rinse with DI water as ultrasonics will deliver the wash solution

Hello CarlN, Yes, StencilScan can reverse engineer a stencil, screen or a board. We just take a high resolution scan of the stencil/screen/board and the software does the rest. Another cool feature is the Assembly Module option for producing assem
