I am looking for a new semi automatic Stencil printer, and reflow oven that is capable of doing double sided boards with BGA�s. We currently own a Manncorp 4500R stencil printer https://www.manncorp.com/4x00_stencil_printers/index.php?view=overview&auto=done, and a 3 upper 2 lower zone oven also from manncorp. The Stencil printer is barely capable of doing any fine pitch components, it also lacks repeatability. Our oven is all over the place with the temperature profiles, and cannot heat up to lead free temperatures. Our future products are going to contain BGA�s and QFN package parts. I also have a budget of 40-60k for these two new additions. Of course the cheaper and more reliable the better. I was looking at the 2000HC from aps novastar. http://www.novastarinc.com/2000model.html,. This uses some new horizontal heating instead of vertical over the top heating method. I need advise on a good Stencil printer, that�s easy to clean, and is not extremely complicated to reload stencils. Thanks!
