Thanks for your input, new to this industry and trying to learn. Which is a better machine for low volume high mix? I have the option to pick which path to start learning on MPM Speedline Accela or a DEK 265 Horizon Any pros / cons or input is appre

For low volume high mix an EKRA will be much better. Slower but much better on GUI which makes products changes faster. Operators can handle the machine easier and way better in effeciency. EKRA have really simply internal sturcture which makes servi

We have 3 of them. E5 (2000), X5 (2006), X4 Proffessional (2012). All of them can handle our requirements, even E5 have the requested accuracy. X5 have disk PCB clamping which really nice for the operators and X4Prof have SPS (3-stage) witch pneumati

It's very common practice to have multiple images on one stencil, it saves money & store space. The biggest drawback I would say is the stencil would wear out faster than as single, due to more frequent usage. One more thing, before you place the ord

We had Ekras and would lie about the size of the board. That would bring it in with an offset. It was an OEM and years earlier they had used kapton stencils. The operators would occasionally complain about an old stencil but have to wait until there

What about punching some numbers ? If there is some distance to artwork, it does not affect stencil at all. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWyLgA1MRZPlBkrHwkbduNDnhc4mLW1lpDbXfxpkTfhA&s I've seen punched markings even on hig

I was going to mention this. Make sure the images are where your printer will allow you to position a board. SOme printers will let you "cheat" the board dimensions, but not all. Also keep in mind which orientation you want the board to go throug

We have a few custom made fixtures that use a flat disc like that and they are spring loaded. For our "homemade" fixtures, we generally use screws stocking up in the tooling holes that are cut to only stick up approx .050 on an .062 board, so there
