ty,” Thomas explains. “Whether they’re printing a circuit, deposit- ing solder paste, or applying a functional coating, they need con- fidence that every layer meets a tight tolerance. That’s where our expertise makes the difference.” MicroScreen supports a wide range of industries where preci- sion and process control are criti- cal. In electronics and semicon- ductor manufacturing, the compa- ny supplies fine-mesh screens and SMT stencils that deliver consis- tent solder deposition for printed circuit boards and component as- sembly. In medical and biomed- ical applications, MicroScreen’s screens are used to print conduc- tive inks, sensors, and biocompat- ible materials for diagnostics and patient-monitoring devices. Auto- motive electronics manufacturers depend on its high-reliability solu- tions for control systems, sensors, and electric vehicle components, while aerospace and defense cus- tomers rely on precision tooling and screening solutions that meet rigorous traceability and perform- ance requirements. In renewable energy, MicroScreen’s screens and stencils support the fabrication of solar cells and advanced energy storage technologies.
This diverse portfolio re- flects the company’s ability to adapt its engineering knowledge and materials expertise to meet highly specialized customer re- quirements.
Technical Partner
Beyond manufacturing, Mi- croScreen positions itself as a technical partner throughout the production lifecycle. The compa- ny provides engineering support and design-for-print consultation to help customers optimize screen and stencil designs for print performance, material com- patibility, and manufacturing ef- ficiency. Its advanced fabrication capabilities include laser cutting and digital exposure systems ca- pable of achieving sub-micron ac- curacy, enabling tighter toler- ances and higher consistency. MicroScreen’s proprietary mesh preparation, tensioning, and bonding methods play a cru- cial role in achieving high-reso- lution prints and extended prod- uct life. These processes ensure stable mesh performance, which is essential for repeatable results in high-volume manufacturing. To further support customers, the company offers cleaning, maintenance, and re-screening services that extend frame life and reduce long-term costs. Sup- ported by in-house tooling and automation, MicroScreen also delivers rapid turnaround times without sacrificing quality. “Our customers are under constant pressure to shorten prod- uct cycles,” says Thomas. “We in- vest heavily in training and au-
tomation so we can meet aggres- sive timelines while maintaining the highest standards of quality.” Quality remains central to MicroScreen’s operations. The company continually invests in advanced inspection and meas- urement technologies, upgrading equipment to maintain leadership in precision and reliability. In ad- dition to its in-house capabilities, MicroScreen collaborates with ex- ternal partners for lab-grade test- ing and process validation, ensur- ing continuous improvement
across its products and processes. “Quality isn’t something you inspect at the end,” Thomas em- phasizes. “It’s built into every stage — from how we tension mesh to how we control cutting parameters. That’s how we deliv- er the consistency our customers depend on.”
Ongoing investment in laser systems, software tools, and mate- rials research has kept Micro- Screen at the forefront of stencil and screen manufacturing. The company actively explores new al-

When Rework Becomes A Bottleneck,
Performance Stops. THE SUMMIT LT150 PUTS YOU BACK IN CONTROL.
Next-generation components demand next-generation rework. The VJ Electronix Summit LT150 is purpose-built to handle today’s largest, most complex devices,
WHY IT MATTERS:
As components grow larger, denser, and more expensive, traditional rework systems simply fall short. The Summit LT150 addresses this challenge head-on, delivering the control and capacity required to protect product quality, improve yields, and reduce costly scrap and rework cycles, even on the most demanding assemblies.
KEY ADVANTAGES:
A proprietary 4.4 kW top heater with dual PID control delivers uniform heating from center to corner, maintaining consistent Time Above Liquidus and protecting component integrity.
SUMMIT LT150
A 1.5 kW spot heater balances top and bottom heating, reducing cycle time while safeguarding high-value components.
Supports 24 x 36 in. (610 x 915 mm) boards standard, with an optional 650 × 1200 mm upgrade and up to 11.2 kW bottom heating, making it ideal for AI, Communications, Aerospace, and advanced industrial designs.
100 mm top and bottom clearance allows safe rework between connectors, heat sinks, and tall components — eliminating the need for risky workaround processes.
