I would appreciate any help in finding vendors for the equipment used in
attaching solder paste stencils to screen printer frames.

To be more specific, a solder paste stencil itself is typically 6 to 8 mil
stainless steel or nickel foil with the pattern openings formed by etching,
laser machining or electroforming.  This foil might then be adhesive bonded
directly to a screen frame or to a fabric web which, in turn, is adhesive
bonded to a screen frame.  My interest is the vendors who build the
equipment to accomplish these adhesive bonding processes.

I have also seen proprietary techniques utilizing a pattern etched into the
edge of the stencil foil designed to be engaged by a complementary finger
arrangement in the screen frame.  I would also appreciate any leads on
these processes.
