Smart Stencil Storage & Inspection System: Automated SMT Stencil Management

Smart Stencil Storage and Inspection System represents a revolutionary approach to SMT stencil management, transforming what is traditionally a manual, error-prone process into a fully automated, closed-loop workflow. This integrated system combines high-capacity storage, automated handling, and precision inspection into a single, intelligent unit.

It is designed to automatically manage the entire stencil lifecycle—from storage and retrieval to cleaning (compatible with your existing automatic stencil cleaner) and high-precision inspection. By bringing stencils online with your MES/FX system, we enable real-time tracking, eliminate manual logging errors, and provide deep data insights for continuous process improvement, ensuring flawless printing for even the most challenging 03015 and 01005 components.

Product Advantages

• High-Capacity Automated Storage & Retrieval
  This system eliminates manual stencil handling. With a storage capacity of over 80 stencils and a retrieval/return rate of over 12 stencils per hour (UPH > 12), it ensures the right stencil is always available for the line. The system features a positioning accuracy of ±0.05mm, guaranteeing perfect hand-off to and from the cleaning and printing processes.

• Precision Stencil Inspection with SPC
  Go beyond simple storage with an integrated, high-resolution vision system. It possesses the critical capability to inspect the pad conditions of ultra-fine-pitch 03015 and 01005 component stencils. Every inspection generates comprehensive data that is saved for full traceability. Key features include:

  Defect Photo Archiving: Bad position images are saved and can be easily recalled for review.

  SPC Statistical Analysis: Monitor process trends and preemptively identify potential printing issues.

• Seamless MES Integration & Traceability
  The system operates in an online state, communicating directly with your factory's MES (or FX) system. Each stencil is managed via its QR code, scanning it at every process step to automatically update its status and log all inspection data. This creates a complete digital twin and history for every stencil in your inventory.

• Flexible Operation & Legacy Equipment Integration
  Designed for practicality, the system supports multiple work modes for both production and debugging. A key cost-saving advantage is its ability to integrate with and utilize your existing automatic stencil cleaning machine , protecting your prior investments while upgrading your overall automation level.
