We Know How ... LPKF provides and services the entire system solution including CAM software, laser source, motion system and optics. Application centers in Asia, Europe and North America are ready to help with special tasks. A Demanding Process Made Easy Smaller and smaller components – more and more accurate solder paste deposits. This is simply what developing stencil technology comes down to. The first step is transferring the layout data into the CAM software. Here the apertures designed with the layout program are optimized. It’s essential to accurately fit the openings in the stencil...

High quality cuts in stainless steel SUS 304/125 µm 3 Option contrast: A variety of fiducials can be performed Optimum Results Stencil apertures with defined properties are essential for perfect solder printing results. LPKF StencilLasers are capable of cutting sheets from 20 µm up to 600 µm. The pictures above show exact geometries with virtually no burrs stainless steel. Steep or tapered sidewalls with equally smooth surfaces, as displayed in the pictures below, result in optimum paste release. The unsurpassed control of LPKF’s LongLife fiber lasers – even down to the level of single...

Demanding Applications Even though the main area of use for LPKF StencilLasers is cutting metal foils, there are also some completely different applications for the high-power laser machines. A selection: Step Stencils Step stencils allow the exact adjustment of the solder paste volume on the variously sized contact surfaces. A step stencil is a special SMD stencil shape which features local recesses (step-down) or bumps (step-up). This allows assembly of a circuit board with semiconductor components having little pitch or with rugged connection components in one work step. Up until now,...

Local modification of layer thickness Suitable quantity of solder paste No system intervention necessary For both step variants, LPKF has developed parameters in extensive series of measurements so as to create step-up and step-down stencils with the unchanged laser systems. In the case of step-down stencils, the laser removes a small amount of material with each pulse. The control of the laser energy is so precise that steps in a 10-µm pattern can be produced. Up to now, step-up stencils had been produced by etching or milling surfaces from thicker foils. A newly introduced laser process...
