What is the normal cycle time for cleaning a solder paste stencil?
Wet solder paste will clean in 1 – 2 minutes, depending on the flux type. Drying can be accomplished naturally, or expedited by using hand-held low-pressure dry compressed air (approximately 2 minutes). The total cycle time to wash, rinse and dry a stencil, when using hand-held dry air is approximately 3 – 4 minutes.
