Determine Root Cause
Quickly diagnose defects and determine whether solder paste is a root cause
Be Protected Against Liability Claims
Use as an insurance policy and be protected against claims of poor manufacturing
How it Works
See how a quick measurement can help you control solder paste materials in your facility
Where to Measure Solder Paste
Measure material behaviors before and during use on your electronics manufacturing line with the Vision MARK-1
BEFORE PRINTING
Measure solder paste upon arrival or before use on your line to check storage conditions and viability in the current environment
DURING PRINTING
Measure changes in solder paste behavior during your process to prevent continuous defects in printing or reflow
AFTER
PRINTING
Measure after printing to determine solder paste health and moisture content (reflowability)
Taking a Measurement
Use the Vision MARK-1 to measure your solder paste's fitness for use and prevent defects in your facility
1.
Collect Solder Paste
Use the probe kit to collect a sample of the solder paste and spread on the probe
2.
Start Measurement
Insert the probe into the Vision MARK-1 and select, "Start Measurement"
3.

-
Thickening due to the reaction between the flux and metal powder
Solder Joint Insufficiency
-
Stencil design
-
Printer setting
-
Inadequate paste rheology
Slumping
-
Environmental conditions
Low Tack
-
Absorption of moisture
-
Drying of your solder paste
