A customer of mine is having problem. They can't control their humidity. It is very dry. RH averages 28-30%. The water soluble solder paste prints great. But dries out on metal squeegee. Any suggestions.

The R.H of 28-30% is too low! (What about ESD issues?).

Have them check to see if the printer/print area has a "breeze blowing" accross it, they can disconnect fans inside if needed to limit airflow from drying the paste out.

Hi,

Try using/installing a dihumidifier machine besides the printer. It will solve the problem. Please reduce the airflow in the area.

someone stated to me that they could change their squeegee blade from stainless steel to nickel coated? and even Teflon coated. Agree? disagree?

If it is a MPM printer you can install the environmental control unit. But it isn't as simple as most people thinks. You also have to install a thermostat inside the machine. Then there is a wire that is used to turn it on and off, this wire is from the thermostat to the control unit. Then this option must be turned on, this means you must get into the option file. You will find that the unit, wireing and termostat can be difficult to find, the ones that don't work is easy working one's some times require a little money and searching. One hint is don't buy a small environmental control unit, they don't work to well. harry

Hi Harry,

We had some of the ECU's, but all they are is a heater & a chiller, and the controller turns on whichever one is required. Unfortunately the contollers were pants so our lab made their own.
