Understanding the Cleaning Process for Automatic Stencil Printers

To address defects and yield – the printing process has the largest impact
SMT Defects:
• Printing process is the major cause for yield loss (50-75%)
Auto stencil wiping is the critical tool for addressing these defects.
Printing Process is critical to success:
• Confirmed by 86% of SMT industry
(Value in Use Survey 2016)
Yield & Throughput influence up to 91% of the margin made on a particular assembly
