Laser Cut Stencils - Stainless Steel & Nickel PDF Print E-mail

AGI is committed to delivering a superior stencil. By integrating DEKs proven manufacturing processes, quality control procedures and supply chain, we will produce a stencil that will maximize throughput and yields. Quality awareness of aperture designs, correct material thickness and reliable fiducial placement will produce the optimum material deposit and alignment for your print process. AGI’s proven track record of quality products and on time delivery, partnered with DEKs technical expertise, will ensure a quality product delivered to meet your needs.

29-29_Stencil-AngleOur state of the art DEK Stencil Laser uses a diode pumped, air-cooled, fiber laser, which produces a 19 micron beam size ensuring phenomenal cut accuracy and smooth walls. The closed loop linear actuators with glass scale mounted to an Aerotech granite gantry ensure an accuracy of 0.5 microns. GC-CAM PowerStation with proprietary DEK software tools completly automates aperture modifications and provides DFM tools to ensure ideal stencil design and paste release characteristics. We 100% inspect every stencil with ScanSTENCIL. This creates a superior platform to provide the highest quality stencils with 24 hour turn times.

AGIs standard Stainless Steel Stencils are manufactured from, 302/304 Stress Relief Annealed (SRA) Stainless Steel, Fine Grain,

  • Lower cost alternative to Invar and other controlled expansion alloys
