What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedSMT stencil printers align a board to a stencil, bring the stencil into controlled contact with the board, and move a squeegee across the stencil to transfer solder paste through the apertures. Vision systems in this class generally locate board fiducials and stencil features so that the paste deposit lands on the intended pad pattern.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn an SMT line, stencil printing is an early assembly operation performed after bare boards are introduced to the line and before pick and place. Reflow soldering commonly follows component placement so the deposited paste can form the solder joints.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedStencil printers are used wherever repeatable solder paste deposition is needed for surface-mount electronic assembly. Typical use includes building populated circuit boards for electronic products that rely on surface-mount packages and printed wiring assemblies.
