To Dave F. Thanks for your comments. I should point out that I am not well versed in SMT, I am more of a thick film and chip man. However I will look into your leads. I will try and find out more about the Quad equipment. I am very wary in getting

I've noticed that after we have switched to Transition Automation blades on our MPM screen printers that the stencils seem to be wearing out faster and I see a wavy rippling effect across the length of the stencil thats impacted by the squeege blade.

What Snap-Off are you running ? I've seen this happen when a large negative Snap-Off is used. If you "contact" print (I.E. Zero Snap-Off) this tends to minimize the stencil coining. We use a mix of MPM & Transition Automation blades. I have noticed

Silly question, but, are TR blades 'exactly' the same size as MPM's and seat themselves in the holders just like MPM's? Also, different types of steel are harder (less flexable) than others. Are TR's the same? If harder (due to steel strength or coat

There appears to be less of a blade sticking out of the holder than the MPM set up. Thats something we noticed recently. We have our mechanical attack angle set at 0 degrees right now, but we are in the process of changing this setting by 5 degrees t

80??? Whatever leads to you to that assumption? I'd love to see a study stating that. Based on experimental results at our facility, overvolume due to the screener parameters have rarely caused a solder short. so, in conclusion, does one need a solde

I worked for a medical instrument manufacturer a few years ago and we had to calibrate all measurement devices. That included everything from our vapor phase oven's thermocouples to 6 inch steel rulers. I don't see any logical justification if you'

in regards to repairing all these boards, do they consider the end cost of the product whether it's worth it to do so or not? if it does, would you be able to do it in house? and how labor intense is the job? there are machines out there for mass rep
