Show that it is cheaper to replace than to make bad boards that need rework. Surely you can get QC to complain about the boards pasted with that stencil.

Hey man, can you please suggest what you do for traceability system to count cycles of the stencil. Is there any special setup for that or just a Excel sheet with formulas.?

Never heard of any traceability requirements for stencil cycles. The SPI machine should be the judge of how your print process is performing.

If we don't take SPI machine is given in the equation, another control should be put in place. Buckcho your approach is interesting, but requires a lot of effort. Do you guys think the stencil printer can count the prints for the same program? Or eve

We usually replace stencil when we start to get problems with the solder paste printing i.e. uneven solder paste deposit etc. Until then it doesn't matter how many years ago it's manufactured, but how many prints it passes and if the operators didn't

Traceability can be made for many things. It is up to the factory and what it wants to implement. You can have traceability on the stencil for a several reasons: 1. Want to check stencil cycles 2. Want to verify if stencil is the correct one loaded 3

I have the same machines, haven't figured it out yet. Only idea i got is to scan every batch and get a rough number of the prints. For example if you have an order of 500 panels, usually it would take 500prints to produce them (maybe 4-5 differences

Correct stencil, wiping frequency effectiveness,and correct paste deposition are all verified by the SPI machine. I suppose you can put all kinds of things in place, but you may want to determine what is practical and "why?" are you doing it. Trac

Hello, the colleagues are all right. What I did in addition to show customers and quality that we either need or dont need a stencil: 1. Made a procedure - in there i defined 50 000 cycles and then the stencil has to be checked by me. In the checks

I agree with you. I just said, if it is customer requirement, factory has to implement it, right? :) Of course it is huge amount of money. SPI is the main control, but it doesnt save you the pressure, speed, snap of from the printer to the trace (us
