"I thought it was purely a mechanical up-down movement with the cam and hence the thickness hardly has any effect!" It is purely mechanical.On our high speed turret the machine knows the distance between the tip of the nozzle and the top surface of

Russ makes good points. Your printer supplier can give good advice on machine setup also. We know we're printing well when: * Paste at least as big in diameter as your thumb is rolling across the stencil * Paste is filling the apertures * Squeegee

We do this every day, We print the bottom side, then the top, and have a tool that presses the connector on. We then process the board down the line. The only tricky thing is keeping fingers out of paste. Fortunately this is a single sided board.

Hi Erhard, Go to http://www.globalstencil.com They are the stencil firm that worked with MPM for developing technology for printing with thick stencils that are milled out on the bottom to account for existing components on the top side of a PC boa

Hi all I have a question about DI water for cleaning system. What water quality should ionic exchanger produce for assembly cleaning (SMD and THT components with BGA and microwave application). What is recommend water conduction and minimal level (0.

Adam, Is your fluxer giving you good coverage into the holes and to the top of the board? If your hole size in relation to the lead diameter is too small, this may be contributing. I'd check your fluxing first though. Just an aside.....We just sw

Hi Simon, do not forget BGA have more surface contact ( qty off balls) then a same size of QFP. I mean, theoretically unless the BGA is very heavy, it is more simple to solder mirrored PBGA then try to have QFP on bottom side to be soldered. Are ple

Hello Chris, "It sticks up about 3/8" or so above the surface of the board." Is this over the ridgid portion of the PCB or in between? Is it possible to create a support fixture for printing that has relief that will allow the flex to bow downward i

Hi, Anyone using this in production? Our company is looking into this model (used). Board size up to to 8"x10", max layer=12, single and double side SMT, medium density mostly passives, max QFP/BGA on board=7-10, 1,000-3,000 boards/wk. Can anyone d

Hi Guy's, Sorry about this, but yes it's another lead free related question. We are looking at using a Chinese SMD DC-DC Converter in a new design, whilst keeping one eye on the approaching Lead-free issue. The manufacturer claims that these are O
