Frameless Stencil Technology
Frameless stencil systems offer flexibility and versatility for your SMT process. By utilizing a single reusable frame into which different stencil foils can be placed, frameless stencil systems are excellent for low-volume productions, prototyping, and whenever frequent stencil changes are needed. Modern frameless stencil systems like VectorGuard or our Apshen quick mount stencil system provide high quality, consistent, and cost-effective results.
