Print platforms add features and performance
DEK has added a number of performance and productivity improvements to its Horizon product line.
At the upcoming event, HawkEye will be displayed onboard DEK's flexible Horizon 01i screen printing platform.
This versatile system delivers high-speed performance for any manufacturing requirement - from high-mix to high-volume advanced assemblies, including 0201 and CSP packages.
Equipped with the revolutionary Instinctiv user interface for user-friendly operator control, the ISCAN control area network to support advanced features and an optimised frame for maximum mechanical and thermal stability, the versatile Horizon 01i delivers superior performance, a 10 second cycle time, process capability of 2.0 Cpk at +/-25um, and an extremely low cost of ownership.

Printing system upgrades materials deposition
Enclosed head printing provides exceptionally efficient materials transfer, superior throughput rates, higher process yields, lower material consumption and improved process control.
When the revolutionary HawkEye print verification technology is combined with the flexible features of the Horizon 01i, the system becomes even more versatile.
The award-winning HawkEye system embodies a novel inspection philosophy.
Instead of relying on data-rich, quantitative inspection routines, HawkEye isolates errors through good/bad verification set against user-defined, preset thresholds.
Streamed images, instead of successive still images, are analysed and any defective boards are identified and removed in real time.
With 100% post-print verification at the line beat rate and no programming required, HawkEye delivers dramatic increases in throughput and end of the line yield with amazing simplicity.
The same advanced manufacturing environments that benefit from the Horizon 01i's speed and flexibility, also realise great efficiencies when incorporating VectorGuard stencil technology into their processes.
The interchangeable foil system allows manufacturers to use one frame and easily change out traditional stainless steel stencils, PumpPrint stencils for adhesive printing, Eform stencils for ultra fine pitch device printing and laser cut nickel stencils for robust lead-free materials printing.
VectorGuard, along with DEK's full line of stencil technology and consumables for enhanced printer performance, will be on display throughout the 2-day event.
DEK will exhibit with Matrix Sales on Booth 2045 at Nepcon East on 10th and 11th May 2006 at the New Boston Convention and Exhibition centre in Boston, Massachusetts.
Technical experts from DEK will be on-hand to perform live demonstrations of the Horizon 01i, HawkEye and VectorGuard systems, as well as discuss visitors emerging technical requirements.
