"The event proved to be a great opportunity for DEK to showcase compatible technologies alongside Assembleon's new product offerings", explains Lisa Carbin, DEK USA Business Manager for the Western Region.
"The San Jose roadshow symbolises DEK's belief in the value of strategic partnerships to optimise both industry integration and performance".
"By guiding Assembleon customers around the exhibits in small groups, we were able to address their specific concerns and wider manufacturing requirements in detail".
"We also gave these visitors a tour of the San Jose facility, during which they were able to appreciate the profound expertise that informs every level of DEK's product development".
In the main demonstration room, DEK showcased the Horizon 01i high accuracy mass imaging machine.
With full process capability meeting Cpk 2.0 at +/-25um, Horizon is able to offer comprehensive functionality for continuous high-throughput preplacement.
