ScanSTENCIL
Automatic Stencil and Screen Inspection
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.
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 and correct size of thousands to millions of apertures.
✔ Quality: 100% automatic inspection of
screen/stencils for absence/presence,
shape and size of apertures
✔ Accuracy: Verify absence/presence of apertures as
small as 0.002” (0.050 mm)
✔ Usability: Supply production with required Gerber
data
✔ Flexibility: Use one software product to create data
required by the stencil production process

Product Functions
Create Stencil Fabrication Data
Adds flexibility to the stencil and screen inspection process. Utilizing its calibrated scanner, ScanSTENCIL inputs stencils, screens, silver or diazo film, mylar images, technical drawings, actual PCBs or original hand-taped designs. With these inputs, ScanSTENCIL is able to verify cut stencils/screens for accuracy, size and blockage, as well as producing necessary Gerber data for stencil/screen production.
Automatic Features
Offers various
functions that quickly and automatically create
necessary Gerber and verification data:
• Absence/Presence of Apertures
• Confirm Proper Aperture Shape and Size
• Compare Stencil/Screen vs. Gerber
• Compare Stencil/Screen vs. PCB
• Confirm Proper Aperture Position
• Create Stencil Files from Boards/Films
• Automatic Inspection Accuracy Level Detection
Verification
Verify the accuracy of the parts and (Gerber) data. The “Local Micro Alignment” (LMA) option allows for checking apertures as small as 0.002” diameter (0.050 mm)
Additional Applications
Creates Gerber files and other data used in stencil production, including: Silkscreens, Soldermasks, Padmasters, Stencil Files, Panelized Images, DXF, NC 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.
