Yes, using an illuminated magnifing glass helps. How well your board fixuring is on the table will effect print alignment on other boards loaded. 0.5mm & 0.4mm will require very good fixuring, like you can get with tooling pins if the board has non-p

Looking for pointers. We have a semi-automatic SMT Techniques stencil printer. We have had some problems with a recent job. Problems were in the areas of finer pitch ics (paste voids as well as paste shorts and some smearing) in certain locations on

Has anyone seen/used these yet? They seem to have lower coefficient of friction for release of paste and less wear and tear as well as conforming to the board better (plastic has better memory than stainless). Also there is no mesh so a larger image

Orrrrr, just buy a small reflow oven, 5K to 7K, and eliminate the paste printing by using solid solder deposition. No shorts, no opens, no cleaning, and no voids. www.sipad.com If you decide to print your own paste later you can invest the extra 30

Dittos from A Very Frazzled Man. Money spent on a better process is almost always more advantageous than better inspection. As for manual TH insertion, have you considered a semi-automatic machine like the Contact Systems CS-400? While the "E" serie

Hi, if I were you, I would probably go for testing and rework equipment. Adding manufacturing to your business, will most probably exceed your preliminary expectations. Manufacturing is much more complicated than you probably think. I have used manu

First, what would you define as semi-automatic? For SMT production you might need a screen printer (these can be anything from full manual to full auto. The low end printers manual require each board to be aligned with a piece of mylar prior to p

My company recently purchased 3 new Phillips CSM machines and is interested in buying a Screen Printer. The one problem we have is that we have to change setups three to four times a day. Due to the small runs of one type of boards that we do. My q
