Sould anyone explain me pros and cons of stencil and screen printing and the advantages of using a screen printing over stencil printing

Simple differences. Both processes require a very similar machine platform, controlled motion, vision fiducial recognition and alignment of a substrate (PCB or hybrid ceramic) to the "image", the image being either a stencil (hence stencil printing)

Hi, I am struggling to interpret correctly the following statement: "An aperture oriented with its long axis in the same direction as the blade stroke does not fill as well as an aperture oriented with its short axis to the blade stroke." If I a

Hi MPMENG, Thanks for you reply. I must say I am printing onto wafers& I'm still somewhat new to the process but much of the theory is the same as for PCB. I trialled it in the mean time and I did find that printing into the long side of the pad wa

Lachrymal, Where are you getting that from. Let me keep this simple because there can be so many variables in modern printing, some you can control and some you can't. Unless you are designing your own PCB's where you can decide how to orient the co

Hello. There is been a lot of talk about thick plastic stencils vs. metal stencils for adhesive printing, but how about thin plastic stencils? We used to use a very thin plastic stencil (from loctite) with printgap (=snap-off) to adhesive printing

Yes nano coating giving the good printing, but the stencil tension is very important for the life, 1st ensure the stencil tension...

I've spoken with a number of Engineers about this subject and there didn't seem to be a consensus number. In my own experience, I found that we were replacing the stencils after approximately 30,000 print strokes. In my predictive maintenance spreads

Of course I forgot to mention that the number will vary based on the type and thickness of stencil that you're using, type of squeegees, board support, print pressure, and speed.

Well the stencil in question have shield components. And this stencil sometimes doesn't even reach 10,000 strokes.As compared with stencil that does not have shield components, the life span seems to be lesser considering that same squeegee, print pr
