I'll jump on this bandwagon too... A crude method was buying a bread rack and widening it to the width of a fixed stencil. Since we get our foils from A-Laser, we get these card board squares. I would tape three of these pieces together to make a som

I have used this method as well, it did have its drawbacks though. We used to have the positioning holes etched into the stencils and this worked fine, for a while. After a couple of months of opening up and closing the fingers on the hanging rack, w

We use ssd on all components, from 0201 to very large fine pitch and bga's. With some very small micro bga's , if there is a problem with bridging, we will tape off the stencil during the ssd process and just use bare pads...along with the solder fr

Hi Chris, It sounds like you may have to go with your idea of a relief cut into the stencil. Are there any components that need to be printed in close proximity? Is this a high volume?I used to work at a flex house and we had a similar situation. We

We have switched from IIT pro-plates to QTS stencils. lots of companies provide them. We still buy from IIT, they have been one of the best suppliers we have had. The single axes tightening just does not get it anymore with the super small parts we h

A company called BEST makes a thing called Stencil Quik. It's like a stencil that sticks onto your board, you squeegee paste, place component/board and reflow. The Stencil Quik remains on the board. It prevents shorts and in your case could provid

Unfortunately, we don't have that option under Utilities. Must be UP-2000 specific. I've set everything up correctly, multiple times...All the right dimensions, etc, taught fids, and it still tries to load the board in the wrong position. As far a
