I would recommend the following chemistries: Zestron Vigon SC200... Good but very $$$$ (703) 589-1198 Vertex (sold by Petrofirm and Alpha Metals)... Won't last as long as Zestron but must less $$$ (904) 261-8286 Kyzen... Also very good (800) 84

We are a small start up. We will be buying a stenciling machine and semi automated pick and place. ( We have the oven) We are presently stenciling without any assit and loading leadless parts only(no fine pitch) by hand. We need to improve thrupu

Kerryn, It's the first time I hear someone who needs an automated inspection machine to check the cleanliness of stencils. Why not improve on the cleaning method itself. I use ultrasonic batch cleaner. It takes 3 minutes to clean a stencil, 2 minutes

Our CMs require a new stencil to be purchased, even if it is no different, or else sign a waiver. We purchased a new stencil.
