ScanSTENCIL is a fully integrated, stand-alone measurement and inspection workstation for use after stencil and screen fabrication or other machined, etched, e-form or laser cut operations. For stencil and screen users, the system permits in-bound and post cleaning inspection of stencils and screens prior to production.
ScanSTENCIL uses a PC Windows-based software package integrated with a high-resolution, calibrated, A3 size flatbed scanner. This combination allows inspection of both stencils and screens for accuracy and the ability to inspect 100% for absence/presence, position and size of thousands to millions of apertures.
We also provide PCB reverse engineering services. This process allows gerber data to be generated that matches the exact form, fit and function of the original board.
Quality
100% automatic inspection of screen/stencils for absence/presence, position and size of apertures
Accuracy
NIST traceable calibrated system. Check apertures as small as 0.001” diameter (0.025 mm)
Usability
Adjust Stencil Gerber data to match actual PCB to achieve 43% reduction in Solder Paste defects per published Motorola study in SMT007 Magazine
Flexibility
Use one system for inspection and measurement of stencils/screens, bare PCBs, pallets, tooling, components, etc
Traceability
Store images and inspection data for traceability in support of ISO and other compliance programs
Reverse Engineering
Generate Gerber data that matches the exact form, fit and function of the original SMT stencil or PCB

Automatic Features
Tired of using slow manual measurement and inspection methods? ScanSTENCIL offers various functions that quickly and automatically create necessary Gerber and verification data:
Additional applications
Creates Gerber files as well as other data used in stencil production, including: Silkscreens, Soldermasks, Padmasters, Stencil Files, Panelized Images, DXF and Gerber-274x files, etc.
ScanSTENCIL permits fast and accurate comparison of stencils/screens to bare PCBs bringing automation and increased productivity to QC departments.
