Hi Luigi,
once we had an issue where material, tools and processes were quite
comparable. But we had solderballs on products from one facility.
It turned out that the reason for that, was the difference in humidity
concentration.
Alternativly you can say that the solderpaste was to sensitive for
processing under different environmental conditions.
Regards,
Frank

Hi Frank,
the workshop is humidity and temperature controlled between 40%RH to 70%RH
and 22°C ± 2°C.
Do you think that such variation could bring the problem ?
Best regards,

Hi Luigi,
additionally you should have a look on the environmental conditions around
the productionsteps.
Increased humidity sometimes promotes the creation of solderballs.
Kind regards
Frank

Hi Luigi,
on top to Reuven suggestions, I would had also, paste volume could be
the
origin of the problem.
This kind of defect is commonly called Solder Beading effect, often due to
excessive paste volume under the chips.
On IPC-7525, they suggest how to prevent or avoid this by designing
dedicated stencil aperture shapes and the propose few examples like :
Home
Plate Aperture, Bow Tie Aperture, Oblog Aperture, etc.
3.2.3.5 Chip Components -Resistors and Capacitors Several aperture
geometries are effective in reducing the occurrence of solder balls. All
these designs are aimed at reducing excess solder paste trapped under the
chip component. The most popular designs are shown in Figure 3-9 (same
aperture design as the MELF diode) the C shaped aperture. This aperture
design reduces the amount of solder paste under the Chip Component but
maintains land coverage on the peripheral of the lands.
Have you already in use stencils with aperture shape like above ?
Suggestions like above have been experimented with success in plenty of
cases.
Best Regards
Ciao
Gabriele

Hi Luigi,
You have to check:
1. Size of pads (too long under the components body).
2. Size of opening in stencil
3. P&P accuracy
4. Solder paste temperature (should be room temperature)
5. Oxidation of component / PCB [ads / solder paste particles
