You can stop cleaning after a job when there is no more paste in the apertures. Under wiping should be done with a quality cloth and should leave no paste on the underside of the stencil (assures good contact on the next print and reduces chances of

We inspect incoming stencils to see if they are labelled properly and sometimes check the width of special apertures and that's about it. We want to kick it up a notch. What are others out there doing to inpect incoming stencils? Is there criteria

People have made good comments. Additional points are: * Your bridging is probably being caused by one or more of the following: [1] printing too much paste, [2] smearing the paste during placement or subsequent handling, or [3] paste slump during t

Hi, is there some sort of gas (certainly refrigerated, possibly pressurized?) in which printed boards can be stored to extend the allowed time between SMT paste printing and placement? Or other technique for achieving this? Background: we're a smal

First, in direct answer to your question, DOE printer setup variables (MPM): * Squeegee speed: 0.5 to 1.0 in/sec * Pressure (metal): 1lb/in of blade * Pressure (plastic): 1.6-3 lb/in Second, supprting earlier responses, most people monitor paste hei

| | :On a dense board, a great way to reduce solderballing is to either; print paste 1:1 with pad size using a 5mil foil, reduce aperture openings by 10% of pad size or change aperture shape to "Home Plate" design. If none of these work on their ow

Is 811 lead paste? If so, it seems to me that your oven settings are getting into soak awful fast in zone 2 and your peak is way high. Unless you are doing a thick board or something like that, those oven settings seem aggressive and might result i

BTW, Option 6. Bear in mind though, In the stencil printer if you run into a problem like this, it will not work with the holes...Only what's in the stencil... We have under some rare circumstances used 1-2 pad's on opposite corners and on very large
