DEK
DEK is the world's leading provider of advanced pre-placement manufacturing solutions for the electronics circuit board assembly and semiconductor industries.
DEK is the world�s leading high accuracy mass imaging solutions provider and an award-winning market leader in product innovation and customer satisfaction. A consistent focus on product advancement and process solutions have resulted in several creative technologies and lead-free printing solutions, including: the VectorGuard stencil system, Galaxy and Europa Micron-class printers for advanced SMT and semiconductor applications, RTC (Rapid Transit Conveyor) to enable a 4 second cycle time, Interactiv� machine support and ProFlow� DirEKt imaging for paste, adhesive PumpPrintng� and optimal lead-free printing.
Catalyst for the e-printer age, Galaxy supports true remote operation, and leverages the DEK Interactiv services portfolio and global support network to operate at the pinnacle for extended periods with only minimal, cost-effective maintenance and adjustments. Galaxy delivers flexibility; its immense capability and broad compatibility, combined with rapid changeover create a process-agnostic platform capable of rapid reassignment as business demands dictate. DirEKt Ball Attach to wafers or substrates, at ball diameters down to 0.3mm; wafer bumping by solder paste printing; SMT pre-placement for next generation assemblies including "silicon dust" components: deploy � and re-deploy � at will
Europa's cycle time is one of the fastest in the business at 4 seconds with Rapid Transit Conveyor (RTC). More than this, DEK�s advanced research ensures Europa achieves its untouchable speed with absolutely no compromise on stability, accuracy or repeatability. The most advanced position sensing technologies on the market maximize alignment performance. Combined with our decades of experience in building robust and dependable platforms, as well as high-performance tooling options and ProFlow� DirEKt Imaging, Europa achieves the highest accuracy and repeatability for SMT assembly: 2cpk at � 20 �m, complete paste on pad.
VectorGuard has taken all of the advantages of frame-mounted stencil systems -- easier and more efficient storage, elimination of frame returns for credit and recycling and automatic foil tensioning � improved upon them and created an engineering masterpiece. Surrounded by a thin, aluminum extrusion, VectorGuard stencils achieve increased rigidity, ease of use and operator safety. Mounting has also been made simpler, with no teeth, slot or hole alignment required � all alignment is handled automatically. The greater rigidity of VectorGuard stencils enables immediate washing of stencils, once removed from the frame, without requiring a washing jig. And, to further enhance manufacturing flexibility and optimize resources, VectorGuard PumpPrint� and Electroform, and lead-free optimized Laser-Cut Nickel stencils are also available for use with this innovative system.
