I have been using it and noticed it seems to get runny after it has been out on the stencil awhile. Couple hours or so. At that point we've had some problems with the paste smearing on some fine pitch stuff(0.020"). I sped up my squeegee speed and it

I have had the Amistar LP1000 for about 5 years and LOVE it. A little trouble between the Zebra printer and machine but since I bought it used no pay no upgrades and I understand new software might improve that. Otherwise it always works. Probably pu

Best 3D system we purchased and have been running for over a year now is the Koh young. Best Gage R and R, easiest programming, easiest user interface and best defect detection. We used to run an MVP Supra in 3D but had issues with software glitche

I have had this problem with my Vitronics wave and looked into alternatives. Kyzen has a product called Cybersolv 8502 that is made specifically for finger cleaning. I found it to work great. They will send a free sample to you of a pint, but I would
