I've never tracked the life of a stencil, but if your seeing an decrease in the life of your stencil you may want to look at the printer itself. What kind of printers are you using? I'm more familiar with MPM screen printers and I have seen were cert

No body really does these days - unless they work for someone who believes in duplicating what the vendor has already done. It used to be a good think to do in the past, cause most pastes and adhesives where kind of sensitive, but today most materia

No-clean solder paste is definately a trend for tomorrow. However, there are several points you need to consider before you shift from WS to no-clean: 1. Component quality - No-clean solder paste generally (not essentially) get a lower avtivity than

I have worked with the PDR type rework station on and off for 12 years and have found that the IR can offer a lot of advantages over hot air. As was mentioned the lack of nozzels is a great advantage. The back heater takes a while to warm up but on

No insult intended but you are either brave or being bullied by design. My guess is the latter as no assembly plant really likes doing things against the grain of norms. We have done Via in Pad with reasonable success but it is fraught with hidden tr
