Consultancy service as the key to optimum stencil selection

Numerous technical factors play a decisive role in the selection of the right SMD stencil.
decisive role. The material, stencil thickness, aperture design and surface treatment
significantly influence the precise application of the solder paste and therefore the quality of the end product.
The choice between fixed-framed stencils and quick-release systems also has an impact
on stability and handling, especially with high production volumes. Other important

Focus on fixed-framed SMD stencils

BECKTRONIC pays particular attention to the area of fixed-framed stencils, which still have numerous applications in modern electronics production.

prevents deformation during the printing process and thus ensures precise paste application. Handling is
handling is significantly easier and faster due to the fixed frame, which reduces set-up times and
efficiency. In addition, fixed-framed stencils are particularly durable, as they are less stressed by the
frame and can cope with a higher number of doctor blade cycles.

Precisely matching these factors to the customer's requirements ensures
that the stencil provides maximum benefit and increases process efficiency. Particularly
worth mentioning here is the advice regarding the choice between the different types of
types of fixed-framed stencils, such as the classic fabric-covered frame design or
directly bonded variants.

Exclusive from BECKTRONIC: Directly bonded stencils

BECKTRONIC is the only manufacturer to offer directly bonded SMD stencils. This exclusive
This exclusive product solution enables a particularly stable connection between stencil and frame, which
simplifies handling considerably and increases precision during pasting. The direct
The direct bonding prevents the risk of vibrations or unintentional movements, which leads to an
exact application of the solder paste. This type of stencil is particularly suitable for high-precision and
sensitive applications where the smallest inaccuracies can have serious consequences for the electrical
