ProtoDesign is a medium-sized manufacturing company specialising in short-run product design and prototype production.
The addition of the Horizon 03i to ProtoDesign's automated production line will effectively enable the company to double its output in the coming year.
John Zimmer, Manufacturing Manager at ProtoDesign said "Prior to investing in the Horizon 03i, we were running a manual screen printing operation - the only piece of our SMT production that was still manual".
"When we decided to automate the pre-placement process, we evaluated all the players in the screen printing business and, frankly, DEK's solution just delivered more of what we need - a robust system with outstanding repeatability, an experienced team that can assist with applications requirements and a world-class customer support infrastructure".
Built on an optimised printer frame that delivers maximum mechanical and thermal stability, the Horizon 03i comes equipped with DEK's Instictiv user interface and the ISCAN control network, which supports a faster, lighter and more reliable bus system to enable advanced features.
The system is easily adapted to host a variety of performance upgrades and offers tremendous manufacturing flexibility, particularly for companies that require high throughput and rapid changeover capabilities.
Horizon 03i suits assemblers seeking the lowest cost of ownership.
