Hi everybody, This is a simple posting to initiate a discussion on different ways to troubleshoot, improve, and control the Stencil Printing Process SPP in SMT manufacturing. There are many SPC, ANOVA and other analysis techniques that provide insi

"In Reality there's no additional cost or extra cost for the cleaning time since there is no increase on operator's wage in doing the cleaning but instead just an additional load or job for the operators at the same wage cost." I'd have to agree...

Various lint free stencil wipe suppliers take various approaches to stencil cleaning. For instance ... Techspray Directions: Start with a dry TechClean Wipe (2358, 2361, or 2362) to remove excess solder pastes. Follow this with the 1608 Pre-Saturat

I agree with the response and strongly recommend that you use the "home plate" design to reduce solder ball entrapment, and that the under cut for the 0402's in particular be 80% of the pad size. Solder slump is typically about 1.2 to 1 so spread wi

I don't have our DEK printer part numbers memorized, In general we have a older machine running NT4.0 . It has 2Di inspection but we never use it because you can only inspect/setup 1 camera shot at once, making for very long programming. Our newer D

| Due to an foul up on my part, a circuit board ECO snuck up on me and I have a solder paste stencil that doesn't quite match the board. Two pads are off by about half a pad each. | | Can the solder paste stencil be modified? If so, what is the tec

Well everything Graham said with some additional points.. You mention manual printing but very little about your stencil or setup. Everything you have said indicates a very limited budget has been expended, however what you have is an extreme exampl

| We suffered our first blood letting because of razor sharp edge clamps (DEK 265LT) and operator giving it the finger. While positioning magnetic tooling pins, one of our best slipped and really sliced off a part of his main digit. This will impact

I would suggest 7mm thick "Durostone" as a carrier material. Cut lip/pocket for PCB so it is 0.05" thinner than thickness of PCB. Allow 0.010" gap on all sides of PCB. Machine lip to width between 0.050" and 0.100" to support under perimeter sides
