Craig, Camelot or Asymtek dispensers will perform the generic task that you desire, but you might also speak with your solder paste supplier for a paste specially set up for dispensing. Past experience was that I used a 86-88% solids paste to prevent jamming, or clogging of the needle. Also used the EFD tapered needle. Less than 25 mil pitch (~0.6mm) became a real hassle, because the needle diameter had to be quite large to prevent clogging From a lab type standpoint, it is certainly 'do-able' Steven Creswick Gentex Corp -----Original Message----- From: Craig Hillman [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 8:06 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Looking for a "special" solder paste dispenser Hello Technetters, For research and development purposes, I am looking for a machine that dispenses solder onto a board WITHOUT the use of a solder stencil. The speed is not as important as accuracy and quality of work. Do you know of a machine like this? If so, how can I find one? Thanks for your help, Craig
