Hi, For the invisible nano coating, do we have any rapid method to determine nano coating worn out on stencil.

Hi, Some nano coat supplier said that you can drop water to the surface where the coating supposed to present before to check. If it's beading, it's still there. I take it that you meant by self in-house wiping of coating, yes? Stencil supplier nan

Steve I did investigate the transparent nano coat before for performance. We examined 3 different assemblies based in design criteria. In more simplistic designs it is not worth having it. On more challenging designs it is worth. It proved to have be

What sort of nano coating? The coatings that aren't snake oil tend to have a color to it. The other ones are typically wipe on and seem like a waste of time to me.

I think you are referring to nano coatings. Try google nano coated stencils

I do not know of a way to measure the nano-coating. However, it is easy to check if it is still on the stencil. Simply use a 'sharpe' pen and try and mark the bottom (PCB) side near any openings. If it easily marks, then the nano is no longer present

Pick and place is not my area but I did have a customer a while ago with a similar problem. He did try different nozzles and air pressure. They use Nano protek on thier stencils. He wiped the nozzles with Nano Protek and the problem dissappeared. Onl

Rain X goes on windshields. Nano coating goes in the garbage. Order your stencils correctly from a reputable stencil house and fugetaboutit.
