Video on how to use stencil printers for PCB assembly

APS Novastar has released a new video covering its SPR line of Stencil Printers for printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. This short video, posted on the APS Novastar web site (http://www.apsgold.com/aps/stencil-printer-video.htm), as well as the company's YouTube channel, provides an overview of the SPR Stencil Printer product line and demonstrates the ease of product set up and use.

APS Novastar says in the demo accurate and reproducible board to stencil alignment, down to 12-mil ultra fine pitch is achieved utilizing the two camera SMTrueä Vision Assist feature. Also shown is the use of frameless stencils or foils to reduce stencil cost. The ease of board placement with the adjustable board stops, ability to print on double-sided boards where one side is already populated, and the ability to carry out a test print for quick and easy set up of a new print job are all illustrated in this video, adds APS Novastar.
