Bench top dispensing robot is very affordable
A bench top Cartesian dispensing robot - with prices beginning at GBP 4000 - brings robotic dispensing within reach of small assembly shops as well as the larger companies.
These pastes are both more abrasive than the outgoing leaded solder paste, so all pcb manufacturers/assemblers will be pleased to find that Permalex squeegees are a long-lived solution which can eliminate the sticking typically seen with standard metal squeegees and greatly improve the quality of their stencil printing process.
Permalex metal squeegees feature a unique base alloy with a multi-step metallurgical bonding process which results in a smooth, hard, low friction edge designed to prevent stencil wear.
This eliminates scavenging and improves solder paste deposition, while reducing stencil pulling and stretching, thus improving pad registration and stencil life.
