4.2.2 Correct Set Up
Label tooling clearly to prevent mix-ups
Tooling blocks should make use of the locating dowels on the rising table to ensure
repeatability of positioning
To aid in the positioning of magnetic pins, create tooling maps or templates that can be laid on
the table surface with holes cut for the pins to go through
Use tooling blocks designed with stencil support, or stencil support blocks if squeegee length
exceeds board length
Care and Maintenance
Keep tooling and rising table scrupulously clean
Inspect tooling regularly for wear or damage
4.2.3 Identifying Tooling Problems
With everything set correctly, the stencil surface should be clean at the end of the print stroke.
Therefore, any material residues left can provide clues to underlying problems.
These problems can be caused by:
Damage or contamination of tooling or rising table
Tooling pins positioned beneath underside components
Tooling positioned directly under meath bar code labels, silkscreen mask or uneven pad finish
on the underside of the board
Worn or damaged transport belts
Underside components fouling on the surface of the tooling plate
Note: Adjusting the "Board Stop X" parameter slightly may allow the board to locate accurately
within the tooling block.

4.3 Stencil
18 Process Foundation DEK Micron-Series 12/2017
4.3 Stencil
The stencil defines the volume and shape of the deposit, and the importance of a well-maintained
stencil cannot be over-emphasised. A good stencil will give high and predictable yields, will
minimise the need to clean and hence increase throughput, and reduce both downtime and
consumables use. A damaged or worn stencil may dramatically reduce yields and demand
constant cleaning and inspection, adding considerable costs to the manufacturing process. A poor
stencil, once identified, should be replaced immediately as the cost of replacement is negligible in
relation to lost production.
Good Stencil (Well designed/ good condition)
Excellent Results
Few Failures
Predictable Yields
Bad Stencil (Poor design/ damaged)
Lots of stencil wiping/ cleaning
Lots of bridging and open circuits
Stencil Condition
Cleanliness – Screen Wash Machine
Dirty apertures are one of the main causes of process defects
Stencils should be cleaned thoroughly in an automatic washing
machine prior to storage and possibly even at shift change
Remember that the under-screen cleaner supplied with the machine
is for regular, small cleaning only and cannot clean the top surface
Cleanliness – Manual
For manual cleaning, use a lint-free cloth. Solvent-soaked cloth in
each hand, clean both sides simultaneously
Fiducial Condition
The condition of the fiducials has a direct bearing on the alignment repeatability and accuracy
Any misalignment can cause bridging and stencil smear and increase the frequency of under-
screen cleaning
The stencil should be inspected regularly and damaged fiducials repaired
