In the field of electronic manufacturing, the application of surface mount technology (SMT) has become an industry trend. In order to meet the ever-escalating production needs, a new type of equipment called movable steel mesh is gradually gaining favor in the industry. Movable steel mesh has brought progress to electronic manufacturing due to its flexible characteristics.
1. Overview of movable steel mesh
Movable steel mesh, also known as movable template or flexible template, is a special SMT mold. It is mainly made of metal materials, usually stainless steel or nickel alloy, with high corrosion resistance and high precision. Movable steel mesh is flexible and can be customized according to actual production needs to meet the production needs of different products.
2. Application of movable steel mesh
Movable steel mesh has a wide range of applications in the field of electronic manufacturing. In surface mount technology, movable steel mesh is used in the solder paste printing process. Through the opening design, the solder paste can be printed on the PCB according to the preset position and quantity. In addition, the movable stencil is also used in the solder paste transfer process, and the solder paste is transferred from the hopper to the PCB through the openings in the stencil.
