Ramon, I have had experience in the problems you are witnessing. The problem can relate to a number of factors. Obviously the printing process is the first place to start your investigations, try looking at the stencil apertures for bleed under the

RW, I have Screened Adhesive on to several different assemblies and have found that when it is possible I get a much better result than with a dot deposition process (The green strength was greatly improved), the biggest issue I ran in to was the pr

Kyungman: So, your boss is trying to get you to put a wet paste inspection machine on your line after the printer. Sounds like you have a bunch of toys and someone wants to give you more!!!! Ah, the burdens some people have to live with!!! ;-) J

We're looking at redesigning our stencils to facilitate better (well, it's pretty much non-existant, so any improvement is a big leap) release from fine pitch apertures. Currently we have perpendicular walled laser cut apertures. We'll be having

Dave, Thanks for the interest. Basically, we looked at this project as a straight swap, i.e. printing the glue on the PCB using a Dek screen printer instead of our current method of dispensing glue using a Camalot dispensing machine. For the PCB we

Hi Ken First of all, I think you are right to point out that the uptime should be calculated on the SMD line bottleneck. But I have some comments to your posting in general: The SMD line bottleneck, you say, is always the palcement machine. This i

The most effective method is to monitor both printing results and parameters. Periodically (maybe once per month), run QCCalc or another program to measure the machine's capability to hold its set parameters. I also run control charts on the paste h

Wow, you have received a lot of suggestions and opinions. Here is one more for the record. First try to improve the performance of your sub-contractor. While you are doing that start bringing in low quantities of parts to develop your in-house cap

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
