At Fusion, we only use high precision solder paste printing machine and we review the stencil design as it plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the final product, and here’s why:
1. Precision Printing: A well-designed stencil ensures the correct amount of solder paste is applied to each component pad, preventing issues such as bridging or insufficient solder.
2. Quality of Connections: Proper stencil design contributes to the formation of high-quality solder joints.
3. Component Alignment: The stencil assists in aligning components accurately on the PCB by providing a guide for the placement of solder paste.
4. Reducing Defects: A well-optimized stencil design helps minimize common assembly defects such as solder balling, tombstoning, and solder bridging, contributing to improved overall product quality.
