An Investigation Into The Durability Of Stencil Coating Technologies

It is well documented that Nano coatings on SMT stencils offer many benefits to those assembling PWBs. With reduced standard deviation and improved transfer efficiency nano coatings can provide, there is also a cost. As PWB assemblers work to justify the return on investment, one key question continues to arise. What is the durability or life of these coatings and what can be done in the print process ...

Compatibility of Cleaning Agents With Nano-Coated Stencils

High density and miniaturized circuit assemblies challenge the solder paste printing process. The use of small components such as 0201, 01005 and uBGA devices require good paste release to prevent solder paste bridging and misalignment. When placing these miniaturized components, taller paste deposits are often required. To improve solder paste deposition, a nano-coating is applied to laser cut stencils to improve transfer efficiency. ...

Hand Printing using Nanocoated and other High End Stencil Materials

There are times when a PCB prototype needs to be built quickly to test out a design. In such cases where it is known early on that there will be multiple iterations or that a "one and done" assembly will be made that there will be some SMT assemblers who choose to hand print solder paste onto the board using a "frameless" stencil. In such cases where hand printing is used, the consistency of the printing technique has ...

Effect of Nano-Coated Stencil on 01005 Printing

The demand for product miniaturization, especially in the handheld device area, continues to challenge the board assembly industry. The desire to incorporate more functionality while making the product smaller continues to push board design to its limit. It is not uncommon to find boards with castle-like components right next to miniature components. This type of board poses a special challenge to the board assemblers ...

Assembleon MG-1 / Yamaha YG100 spare part for nozzle changer -- Hello. I was looking for parts (cylinder clamp for nozzle changer) for Assembleon MG-1 number (from service manual) 9498 396 00649. It is some kind of KOGANEI BDAS10x5 variant with an extended shank. But I can't find it at my trusted suppliers. According to Yahama it's no. KGS-M9605-A0X - in the drawing in the service manual for YG100 it looks identical but under this symbol I find a different (round) cylinder. Does anyone know what the correct number is at Yamaha? Or does anyone have such an element available - NEW? I've already repaired it (I moved the middle from a similar one) but I want to know where to look with the Yamaha number.

Nordson FX 940 Ultra Nytvision bottom camera -- Has anyone been able to get the bottom camera option to work on Nordson FX 940 Ultra Nytvision? We tried three years ago, but they didn't have the software working yet. And their tech support wasn't sure how to get it working. Nordson is discontinuing the FX 940 and we would like to try the extra camera for barcode traceability. But we aren't going to buy from them anymore unless we know it works before purchase.
