Frameless Stencil Technology

Frameless stencil systems offer flexibility and versatility for your SMT process. By utilizing a single reusable master frame into which different stencil foils can be placed, frameless stencil systems are an excellent solution for many of todays SMT printing challenges. Modern frameless stencil systems like VectorGuard or our Apshen quick mount stencil system provide high quality, consistent, and cost-effective results as well as saving on valuable storage space. 

  • Flexibility and Versatility: Adapt to different SMT processes with ease.
  • Cost-Effective: Utilize a single reusable frame for multiple stencil foils.
  • Ideal for Low-Volume Productions: Perfect for small batches and prototypes.
  • Efficient Stencil Changes: Quick and easy stencil swaps for frequent changes.
  • High Quality and Consistency: Ensure reliable and consistent results.
  • Modern Solutions: Benefit from advanced systems like VectorGuard and our Apshen quick-mount stencil system.
