Garbsen, July 2008 – The LPKF StencilCheck Software inspects SMT stencils for cleanliness to verify that each aperture is free of debris. Only an absolutely clean stencil ensures an entire and reliable paste release when printing. The inspection of the cleaning result saves time for test printings and is more reliable than a visual inspection. Based on a commercially approved PC – Scanner (which is not part of the delivery) the Software generates one optical scan of the SMT solder paste stencil. This scan will be compared against the CAD production data. Any impurities in the stencil will be shown directly on the PC. A full report can be printed and used for the QC management.
LPKF Laser & Electronics AG produces machines and laser systems used in electronics manufacturing, the automotive industry and the production of solar cells. Approx. 75 per cent of its turnover is generated by exports. The company has approx. 360 staff around the world.
