Dave, Why on earth would you want to use a stepped glue stencil?. If you print slightly off contact the hight of your glue deposition will be roughly half the width of your adhesive aperture width so if you want a 10mil high deposit use a 20 mil ape

You can achieve a wide range of dot heights when stencil printing by using a polyimide stencil along with a .040 snapoff. Loctite has a system for this that they call Varidot, by varying the size of the apertures in combination with the .040 snapoff

Dear forum types, 1st timer so be good. I have a customer in China using Coates soldermask that in its self is not a problem. The problem is the flux their using, I think,it appears to have a vary high viscosity. The problem they have laid at my door

Regarding your comments about the EASi Line - a robotic workcell was planned but the company determined they were spread too thin to support the effort about 8 weeks before the show. It was too late for a replacement. The manual assembly operation

Hi! What kind is perfect smt line? It's difficult question. First you must know what kind your production is. Do you have a serial production or do you have a lot of proto series? If you have only few different pcb then you must get placemant machine

All, We are experiencing extreme difficulties in printing with a water soluble paste. We have tried two major brands of w/s paste and we are seeing the same problems with both. The main issue is the paste is sticking to the blades. We have tried di

Ashok: Plating thickness and ductility of the copper are things to look for. If it�s a crack where two layers are pressed together one possible cause could be bad process parameters while pressing these layers together at the PCB shop with the resul

Dear Dreamsniper, A big hidden cost in any cleaning system is the cost of diminished production and rework. I assume you are cleaning the adhesive stencils manually since there is no equipment cost in your formula. Manual cleaning of adhesive sten

Not sure if I agree with your justification but I might need to read it a few more times to figure it out. I agree that aquiring a dispensing machine is is a good purchase. Maybe you should let him in on the material savings. How many adhesive stenci

I'm a bit confused about reading IPC-275 (I know I should have IPC-2221/2222) but I'm sure they are similar. Anyway, I am doing a: Military, less than 100V, non-conformal coated PCB, External Etch Sec 5.3.1.4 Edge Spacing.. (Pg 61) says use Tabl
