A Practical Guide to Selecting a Manual Squeegee Blade Inspection Machine

In SMT production, the squeegee blade directly affects solder paste printing quality. Even minor blade wear can cause defects like insufficient solder, bridging, or smearing, impacting product quality and yield. A professional manual squeegee blade inspection machine helps quickly and accurately identify blade wear and damage, preventing quality issues and reducing production losses.
Key Considerations for Selection:
Optical System:
High-quality optics are essential. Choose systems with 10X to 200X magnification, offering a clear, distortion-free view for identifying micro-wear and scratches.
Lighting Options:
An adjustable LED lighting system (top and bottom illumination) provides optimal contrast, making it easier to detect various types of defectsMechanical Stability:
A robust and vibration-resistant structure ensures stability during operation, preventing blurred images and ensuring inspection accuracy.
Fixture Compatibility:
The machine should accommodate different squeegee types and sizes (metal or polyurethane) with secure, scratch-free holding mechanisms.
Ease of Use:
Ergonomic design, intuitive operation, and a compact footprint facilitate integration into production or QC environments without requiring extensive training.
