SQUEEGEE snap off is the gap between the top of the stencil and the the bottom of the squeegee blades. You can measure it with a set of feeler gauges.

I thought the stencil was flush to the top of the board when Screen printing. When does this snap off occur in the screen printing process?

Hi Adrian, If you do a "squeegee snap off" during solder paste printing...the result would be a very thick solder paste deposition. I think the correct term is stencil snap off or people say it "snap off distance". =)

Hey everyone, Does anyone out there use a solder paste height measuring system ? I would like to know what the standard is for paste height compared to stencil thickness and how you use it as a process tool. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Steve.

I have a product where an IC is soldered using a stencil which puts down way too much paste. The result is massive bridging. Anyway, one of my coworkers claimed he could eliminate the bridging by baking the circuit board in an oven for 5 min at 90

George We use a 0.030" dot. Here's a link for aperture sizes for adhesive printing from Alpha. http://www.alphametals.com/products/techarticles/soldrpstncl/guidelines.html Here's a link for aperture sizes for adhesive printing from Heraeus. http:/

Happy Holidays to all! Has anyone seen or heard of an automatic cleaner for squeegee blades and holders? I searched the archives and found nothing! I simply don't want to tie up the stencil cleaners with squeegees! thanks, Kris

That's how ours works...has a basket underneath the stencil hanger that we drop our squeegees into...it also handles misprints fairly well. It's a factory option for the SmartSonic.....dunno about other makes.
