Squeegee blades are an intracule part of the print process.In a typical printing process, the
paste does not fill the aperture until the paste bead has traveled at least 75% beyond the
leading edge of the aperture. The aperture fills from the trailing edge of the aperture backwards.
It is the rolling of the solder paste bead that generates the downward force that drives the paste
to fill the aperture. This understanding of the aperture filling process is important to
understanding why the attack angle of the blade becomes critical.
Miniature components such as 01005 passives and 0.3 mm CSPs / BGAs demand the accuracy
and precise deposition of solder paste volume. It is well known that stencil printing is a complex
process, influenced by several variables that include hardware, software, materials and process
factors. Squeegee blade assembly happens to be an element of printing that can have a
significant effect on the print quality. Studies show most of the qualities are affected by
squeegee blade type and attack angle of the blade.
general, only two metal blade printing print parameters which affect aperture filling can be
controlled: squeegee speed and downward squeegee pressure. The speed should not be set so
high that the paste does not roll as it moves across the stencil or so low that the print cycle time
does not keep up with the manufacturing line. The blade pressure is usually set so that no paste
remains on the stencil behind the squeegee. Higher pressures will not only damage the stencil,
but also shear-thin the paste to such an extent that the flux will separate from the metal and
problems such as paste sticking to the blade, lack of tack at placement, or poor solder ability will
occur further down the assembly line.

Specific Length?
If you desire a specific length that is not on our dropdown menu, choose the nearest length (greater) than your desired length, then enter the mm length you desire.
Special Width?
Normally our holders use a 1.25inch (31.75mm) wide blade. If you like to have a different blade width, you may enter it and we will modify the blade accordingly.
Custom Angle?
Normally our holders use flat blades, and hold them at 60 degrees with respect to the Stencil. If you like a different angle, specify the angle, and we will put a bend in the blade to achieve the net angle you specify. For example, if you put 45, then we add a 15 degree angle facing backwards – which gives a net angle of 45 degrees between the blade and stencil.
on the Whole Blade?
Normally our MPM PRINTER Coating is applied to the Tip of the squeegee. This gives the maximum fatigue resistance. However, if you like to have the MPM PRINTER on the whole blade – you may select this option. * Note: the life of the blade may be shorter with this option due to increased embrittlement at the bend region.
Advanced Holder System includes recently upgraded Adaptor incorporating anti-reverse tabs – prevent backwards installation. Also includes (2) M6 Thumb Screws and Soft-Touch(TM) Articulating Paste Retainers.

Momentum® II BTB features a smaller footprint than the standard Momentum platform. Back-to-Back configuration allows dual lane processing for higher throughput without increasing line length or capital investment. Dual lane provides the flexibility to print multiple products in a single SMT line, such as top and bottom side, same side, or mother/ daughter boards making the BTB the most flexible model in the proven Momentum platform.
The MPM Momentum II stencil printer is a proven, highly productive printer platform with industry leading accuracy and repeatability (certified by third party). Enhanced technologies provide further improvement around machine productivity, yield, ease of use, and flexibility.
The new Momentum II HiE is a single-rail stencil printer with servo motors, rather than stepper motors, driving the vision system’s X, Y, and Z axes. Faster than steppers, servos drive the vision gantry at higher speed and thus increase throughput and cut cycle time, making the Hi-E an efficient high-volume printer. New features enable improvement in productivity, yield, versatility, and ease of use.
The Momentum II stencil printers are designed for high throughput and accuracy. MPM’s rigid frame is welded for low vibrations and major assemblies are driven by precision ball screws. This allows for higher repeatability and greater reliability over time.
Momentum II has an advanced print head featuring a high precision load cell with closed loop pressure control for precise and consistent squeegee force. Tighter performance tolerances mean consistent repeatability with higher yield.
