Stencix

Autonomous solder-paste printing and pick-and-place. Converges first-pass yield before the board leaves the head — closing the loop across the printer, SPI, and mounter.

The problem

Why this stage bleeds

The front of the SMT line decides the board's fate: paste volume, area ratio, stencil registration, and sub-25µm placement offsets set up 70%+ of downstream defects — tuned by hand by scarce, retiring engineers.

The solution

How Stencix closes it

Stencix perceives SPI and placement in real time, predicts which deposits and placements will fail, and autonomously adjusts print pressure, squeegee speed, separation, clean cadence, and per-nozzle offsets to converge yield.

Capabilities

What Stencix does

Real-time SPI perception

Paste-volume, area-ratio, and registration risk scored per deposit.

Autonomous print control

Pressure, speed, separation, and stencil-clean cadence tuned in the loop.

Placement & feeder health

Per-part offset correction and nozzle/feeder prognostics.

High-mix warm-start

Recipe carry-over from similar boards for fast changeover.

Graduated autonomy

Approval policies with an assurance-grade audit trail.

Write-back connectors

Printer, mounter, SPI, and MES/traceability integration.

In the loop

Stencix never works blind

It shares perception, twin validation, and orchestration with the rest of Circuex — so every action is grounded and every result feeds the next board.

  • Perceive & form — its role in the perceive–simulate–decide–act loop.
  • Twin-validated — moves proven in Twinex before production.
  • Cited & logged — assurance-grade audit trail on every change.

Autonomy

Graduated, never reckless

You choose how much control Stencix takes — and it earns the next level by proving itself.

01

Shadow

Stencix perceives and predicts with zero write-back — you validate its calls against reality.

02

Recommend

It surfaces grounded recommendations with the evidence behind each one.

03

Approve

Operators approve actions one at a time under policy, building trust and data.

04

Closed-loop

Stencix tunes autonomously within guardrails, escalating only exceptions.

Once Stencix went closed-loop, the stage stopped being the bottleneck. It just holds yield — and tells us why when it doesn't.

Questions

Stencix FAQ

Does Stencix require the other agents?
No. It's a standalone product with its own ROI, but it compounds when paired with the rest of the Circuex loop.
How does it connect to our equipment?
Read-only connectors first, then graduated write-back to the relevant machines and your MES/traceability system.
Is it safe for high-reliability production?
Yes — graduated autonomy, approval policies, and an assurance-grade audit trail are built in for automotive, medical, and aerospace.
Every board, perfectly built.
