ALPHA® CUT
Laser Cut Stencils are designed and manufactured to provide the
ultimate stencil printing performance for most surface mount
requirements, particularly when used in conjunction with ALPHA® Solder
Pastes or ALPHA® Surface Mount Adhesives. The stencils are
manufactured using a CAD/CAM driven high precision XY-laser cutting
process. The apertures generated through this technique give
a trapezoidal geometry.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
High Repeatability: ALPHA® Stencils
are made anywhere in the world, anytime, using the exact same manufacturing
standard to deliver consistent performance by eliminating the two
sources of variation through our Stencil Engineering System, ALPHA
DIMENSIONS™:
• Design Inconsistencies
• Manufacturing Inconsistencies
High Accuracy: Produced directly from the modified CAD/CAM
data, positional accuracies of ± 1.0 mil (± 25 micron) can be
achieved over a 17” x 17” (432 x 432 mm) area with a process capability
indexes (CpK) in excess of 1.33.
Ultimate Availability: Our
global manufacturing network provides fast-turnaround
lead times when and where required. Our ALPHA
DIMENSIONS™ system can prepare jobs
regardless of location.
Fine-pitch
Printing: ALPHA® CUT
Laser Cut technology
is targeted for print
applications up to
20 mil (0.5 mm) pitch.
Predictable
Printing Results: Proprietary
internal testing
provided us with
the science behind
the printing. Our
database with more
then 12 million data
points allowed us
to quantify the effects
of taper, surface
finishes, positional
accuracy and area
ratio. This information
is used in our best
practice commonality
program to ensure
consistent and predictable
print results.
One-Stop-Shop: Working
with Cookson Electronics,
gives you also access
to in-house manufactured
advanced ALPHA® FORM
Electroform or multi
level stepped stencil
design without changing
supplier. The industry
standard, ALPHA TETRA™ Frame
System, is available
through all our offices
in the world.
