Enclosed head printing provides exceptionally efficient materials transfer, superior throughput rates, higher process yields, lower material consumption and improved process control.
Print platform handles large image sizes
The Europa Vi can handle large board products up to 7.5kg in weight and 6mm thick and features heavy-duty remote board stops.
DEK's award-winning VectorGuard system is also compatible with the Horizon 01i and will be on display at the upcoming event along with DEK's full line of consumables, tooling and advanced stencil technologies.
The VectorGuard frame mounted stencil system eliminates the need for a loading jig and allows for easy alignment of stencil to frame with a simple foot pedal operation.
The foils are surrounded by a thin aluminium extrusion, which enhances operator safety and provides for easier handling.
Unlike other frame mounted systems which often lose tension over time, VectorGuard's unique design assures that uniform tension will be maintained for the life of the product.
The system is also environmentally friendly, effectively eliminating the need for stencil frame recycling.
"DEK's unique approach to mass imaging solutions - providing all of the tools including technologically advanced stencils, unique tooling and fixtures, consumables and sophisticated screen printing systems - has made us the 'go to' company for materials deposition expertise", says Craig Brown, Americas General Manager for DEK USA.
"We are excited about the opportunity to discuss our total customer delight philosophy and show our market-leading product offerings at the upcoming Nepcon show".
Nepcon/Assembly East will take place from 3rd to 5th May at the New Boston Convention and Exposition Center.
Visitors to the show can view the DEK Horizon 01i and demonstrations of VectorGuard on Booth 1010.
