In the SMT production process, the defect caused by solder paste printing accounts for more than 70% of the overall defect rate while the defect caused by stencil problems accounts for a high proportion (>50%).
Automatic Stencil Inspection machine ensures stencil quality control through
- Maintaining within specification of aperture area, position, shift, size,
- Eliminating foreign materials, glitch, blocked aperture,
- Ensuring stencil tension within specification
- Verification of width-to-thickness ratio, area ratio, pitch of holes,
- Simulating amount of solder paste
