May 29, 2013 Ensuring printed line height uniformity, Fine Line Stencil™ enables sub-40 µm line widths with no increase in line resistance. When used in dual print process, stencil first prints busbars with fine mesh screen, and then separately prints conductors. This allows optimized paste to be used for each process which not only gives precise control over print height of busbars and fine lines, thereby saving silver, but also allows non-contacting busbar paste to increase Voc and therefore cell efficiency.

May 06, 2013 In addition to optimized solder paste deposition and definition, VectorGuard™ High Tension features foil tension of 33 N/cm², transferred evenly on all 4 sides. Product has no glue bonds to fail and offers frame flatness for process control and repeatability of position from foil to foil of same product, minimizing time to switch stencil. Long-term integrity of stencil ensures no tension degradation over time.

Dec 07, 2010 Facilitating printing on different levels with upward or downward steps, VectorGuard 3D enables uniform stencil thickness to be achieved for quality print results. Electroformed nickel stencil not only prints 2 levels simultaneously, but can also accommodate levels that differ by up to 3 mm. In addition to providing coverage for dedicated areas on board, VectorGuard 3D is suitable for printing of heatsink pockets for power components or printing of 3D mounting PCBs.

Jan 14, 2010 Suited for semiconductor applications and component manufacture, VectorGuard® Double Layer Platinum stencil is fabricated through 2-step lithography and Nickel electroforming process before mounted on VectorGuard tensioning technology. Mesh layer holds stencil intact while controlling flow of paste to second layer, and circuit layer determines thickness and shape of print deposits to deliver high-tolerance, fine-dimension printing with accuracy better than 0.1 µm/mm.

Oct 21, 2005 Multi-level stencil helps ensure that appropriate paste volumes are deposited for all components, from power and I/O connectors to discretes and fine-pitch devices of all types, in one squeegee pass. This is achieved by controlling thickness of stencil in selective areas across its surface, local to each component; apertures in thinner areas deliver less paste, and apertures in thicker areas deliver more paste.

Aug 07, 2003 PolyToughâ„¢ Stencils are cut from 1/8 in. high-grade plastic. Heavy weight and flexible characteristics allow them to conform to any surface. Large stencils have all inside corners radius-cut to relieve stress and minimize damage. When paint dries, it flakes off, making stencils easy to clean. Stencils keep parking lot, factory, warehouse, or athletic field clearly marked. They are suited for marking numbers, letters, arrows, signs, logos, and mascots.
