| I need help in finding solder paste measuring equipment. | Hi cuch,

I have two site where you could to find information about solder paste measuring equipment. The website are: www.cyberoptics.com and www.malcom.org I already worked with solder paste measuring equipment call LSM - II from cyberoptics; this equipment is very easy to use and you have goods measuring but it is off-line ( i think unique problem), please check outher models in the website cyberoptics or malcom.

Best regards

I am trying to develope a fine pitch process, and would like to develop a way to inspect the paste volume before my parts get placed.

An alternative is a microscope from:

| I need help in finding solder paste measuring equipment. | No matter what measuremnt system you purchase, make sure that you perform a Gage R&R study to determine whcih system can meet your standards. Most manual measuremnt systems cannot adequately measure paste repeatabily. If you are looking for quality improvements, at minimal look for a semi-automated measuremnt device.

Look for a company with documented Gage R&R study imformation. If a company can't provide you with this type of information immediately, I would seriously question the systems capabilites. They should also be willing to guarentee these results in writing before you buy.

Good Luck in your search.
