Printer takes on next-generation substrates
The DEK-J2002 is a "next-generation" thick-film printing development now offered by PESL.
This is a particularly sensitive process because of the danger of damaging the alignment of the optical outlet.
Consequently Fancort has designed all the tools to clamp the leads during trim and form to prevent any internal stress to the lead connections.
A platform is also an integral part of each tool to support the fibre-optic cable during trim and form, and the tools are mounted in a die set to make it easy for the operator to load and unload them.
Die springs are protected with rubber boots to provide additional protection to the fibre-optic cable.
The tools can be used in a Fancort hand or air press with estimated throughput of 300 to 600 parts per hour.
They will produce parts that meet MIL-STD-2000, and for SMD applications the tip to tip tolerance can be as close as +/-0.005in.
