Publication number: 20210149363Abstract: A method to set up the parameters of solder paste screen printer while in a new product introduction (NPI). The method includes establishing a solder-printing database of a predetermined product and a database of different specifications of products, and training a first prediction model by reference to a solder paste screen printer (SPSP) and a solder paste inspection (SPI) based on the solder-printing database. A second prediction model is trained by reference to the SPI based on the database of different products. The method further includes predicting parameters for products with different specifications under multiple sets of printing parameters based on the first and second prediction models. An objective function based on the predicted measurements is established, and a specification of a product and a printing expectation parameters are input to the objective function for outputting many sets of printing-suggestion parameters of the new product.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: YI-RU CHEN, HAN-TING HSU, HSUEH-FANG AI
