How To Deposit Thirty Million Glue Dots Per Hour (And Then Print Three Dimensional Solder Paste)

摘要

In spite of all predictions, wave soldering is still alive and well. When a high-speed component placer fronts the wave, a high-speed glue deposition machine is also needed. Stencil printing has the potential to be an extremely high-speed process. When coupled with thick stencils, many of the perceived limitations of stencilling are eliminated. These same thick stencils can be adapted to print solder paste in some previously impossible situations.
