Yes, we have an SOP on how to measure. Basically, calibrate the measuring device and measure tension on the 4 sides and one at the center of the stencil. All measurement should be within 30 ~ 50 N/cm otherwise we will not use it and return it to sten

Evtimov , i agree with Thomas.. you don't have to take your mesure in the middle of the stencil since the sheet of the stencil has the same thickness everywhere either in the corners or in the middle.. So you can ask from your stencil supplier to mak

Phil, I had over 2k stencils VG and 5-6 frames and about 150changeovers per week. Frames get beaten up with time, hoses inside blow, aluminum tensioners change tension, start having nicks, springs inside wear as well. At some point you have to deal m

I just flew in from (insert city) and boy are my arms tired. pr: Likely, you're correct. The "pound-inch" units should have been the give-away, for us. Good catch. If this is the case, the frame fabricator would be the best source for tensioning

Why not get stencils in frames? I think that is how most of us do it.

Davef, Thank you for your reply.You are right that I need to consider the tickness also of the stencil. Previously, I take for granted this process of measuring the tension and I usually let my technician do that. However, I have to determine the pra

We are currently cleaning solder paste (TAMURA SQ-1030FP) from stencil using an ultrasonic stencil cleaner with solvent (HYSPER-Non CFC). The process cycle time is 30 sec. cleaning in 1st ultrasonic tank and another 30sec. cleaning in 2nd ultrasonic

Thank you for your reply Djo. What do you consider a normal range tension for 29" stencil on a hard frame? Also I am not sure how I can use micrometer in the middle of 29" stencil to measure the thickness? CAn you please clarify?

We are using frameless stencils with a frame system tensioning in X- and Y-direction. After first quarrels with our stencilhouse about the correct position of the tensioning holes ( they needed 4 tries to get it right) there are no problems any more.
