ROCKA Solutions has developed its own SMT Stencil Clean Roll. Today, customers have many variables on the SMT workfloor. With different printer brands and models, each printer has its own tube specs, diameter, notches, slots, etc.; however, the company offers product customization to customize two variables in one part number, which helps to decrease part number errors. [2]

Figure 1. SMT Stencil Clean Roll with High Absorbency

Figure 1 shows SMT Stencil Clean Roll is used to remove solder paste residues or other viscous materials allocated into the stencil apertures or stencil contact side surface. Based on the material complexion, the stencil paper is capable of working with ultra-fine pitch apertures, improving cleaning cycle time due high absorption and paper texture allowing better vacuum performance. Material contains a strong tensile strength, high-absorbency with strong performance. Paper material is made of hydraulicy interlaced fibers with no chemical bonding 100% PLP. Features of the SMT Paper Roll include plastic tubes, high absorbency, high tensile strength, liquid absorption 28 second/5cm, 330g water per 1m2. [1]

According to the company, there are many variables on the SMT work plan. With different brands and models of printers, each printer has its own specifications of the tube, diameter, notches, slots, etc; however, the company offers product customization to customize two variables in an item code, which helps reduce item code errors. [3]

The company claims that the SMT Stencil clean roll can work with all stencil technologies including nano-coated stencil foils, better solvent usage, which provides an excellent solvent application along the stencil surface, good performance with all developed cleaning solvents including IPA and better solder paste removal, increasing PCBs.
