Abstract: During the manufacture of printed circuit boards, metal stencils are used as a mask over which a blade is used to squeegee solder through stencil holes onto conducting pads of the circuit board. A typical stencil is both expensive and delicate. Even minor dents, creases, or impressions (commonly referred to as “coins”) in the stencil can result in circuit board defects. Manufacturers frequently suffer significant losses scrapping their coined stencils and idling manufacturing lines while waiting for replacement stencils to be fabricated, shipped, and installed. An apparatus and method is provided for repairing metal stencil coins.
