LASER CUT STENCILS

THE BEST PERFORMING AND MOST REPEATABLE LASER CUT SMD STENCILS

Tannlin offer an end-to-end stencil service from design evaluation and advice all the way through to stencil supply. Tannlin stencils operate two manufacturing facilities in the UK as well as Hungary and Romania, strategically located to provide customers with local support and the fastest turnaround possible. All facilities operate with the latest T11 stencil cutting systems operating under our tight process control to ensure the same high quality stencils are supplied from each facility.

Multi-level Stencil

Tannlin’s proprietary welded step stencil allows stencil designs to be optimised for paste release on a component basis. Our welded step stencil process gives a consistent print surface across the whole area while maintaining tight thickness control of the area.

TANNLIN MULTI-LEVEL

Manufactured using Tannlin’s proprietary laser process, Tannlin Multi-Level stencils provide greater flexibility and control in the print process over standard SMT stencils. Unlike etched or machined step stencils, Tannlin Multi-Level stencils have the same surface finish on the base and step levels. As part of the laser process, a ramp is created in the step areas, which works together with the surface finish to provide superior print quality over comparative technologies. Facilitate an increase or decrease of paste volume and deposit height on selected PCB areas with mixed component technology, large ground pads, intrusive reflow or coplanarity issues. Stencil to board gasketing and print repeatability are easily improved in areas of concern such as labels, solder mask inconsistencies and tented vias.

 

Utilise the experience of our stencil design team during your stencil order to understand how your print performance could be improved by adding Tannlin Multi-Level to your stencil.
