FINE LINE STENCIL to Install LPKF ScanCheck System in San Jose Facility
December 11, 2009 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO — Stencil product manufacturer FINE LINE STENCIL, a division of FCT Assembly, will install an LPKF ScanCheck system in its San Jose, CA stencil facility. The LPKF ScanCheck system can be used to examine stencils and masks made with any technology including laser cut, chemical etch, or electro-forming. The system checks for three parameters and detects apertures that are missing, placed incorrectly, or are the incorrect size, based on the Gerber artwork files. Accurate stencil apertures can prevent printing defects in SMT assembly. The system features a programmable resolution from 1,500 to 12,000 dpi. The resolution can be set for 1,500 dpi if the requirement is fast scanning performance to test for missing apertures. The full 12,000 dpi is used to measure aperture position, size, and quality. The ScanCheck is capable of testing both framed and unframed stencils. After testing, the system will generate reports based on a combination of missing, incorrect size or misplaced apertures, or for all apertures.
