most process-influencing factors for stencil and screen printing.
■ Improved yield
inadequate or non-optimized support can result in numerous
printing defects such as insufficient deposits, bridging, or ■ Increased efficiency
excessive material. ■ Reduced costs
■ Technology leadership
These defects increase the cost of manufacturing, which is why
■ Greater capability
selecting proper substrate support is essential for a high-yield,
profitable operation. ASM has a broad range of dedicated,
automatic and multi-part substrate support tooling and pallet
solutions to address different manufacturing requirements.

Tooling Type

1st pass – for a blank PCB with no components fitted typically


means a flat support surface on the tool. 2nd pass – for a PCB
with components fitted to one side. This means the support
surface will have pockets to avoid the components on the PCB.

Depending on the process required, it is often more cost-


effective to design a 2nd pass-capable tooling block that can
also be used for the 1st pass requirement.

Vacuum capability can be added to either tooling design for the


most effective support surface.

Support tower

Customers can use an existing stock tooling plate or


specify a new tooling plate to be supplied with the tool.

For DEK printers, the current standard machine


mounting hardware is called the "Narrow Tower". This
is supplied with two additional pillars that are fitted to
the rear side of the tooling plate.

A single tower can be used with many tooling plates,


if required. The tower has alignment pins that interface
with the rising table to ensure a repeatable and
accurate fitting to the target machine.

‘Narrow Tower’ for ASM DEK

Vacuum

Standard vacuum capability is added to the tooling


plate in the form of pockets, holes or channels which
are then routed through to the support tower.

Vacuum cups and O-ring seals, flat gaskets and


custom seals are available and can be applied to the
design as an option when required.

DEK PCB pallet solutions
Electronics miniaturization driven by mobile electronics, wearables, high-
density connectors and LED strips require printing onto flexible PCBs, small
boards and odd-shaped substrates. These applications need fixed pallets for
robust transport through the SMT process.

DEK PCB pallets

Transport pallets, flex pallets, and singulation pallets

Pallets facilitate the transport and printing of challenging substrates which


may be too small, flexible or odd-shaped for standard printing processes.
ASM can custom design and manufacture pallets in varying quantities,
depending on specific requirements.

Pallets are typically made of Durastone to withstand high oven temperatures.


Other materials are available on request.

DEK Wafer pallet

Standard wafer pallet – A lightweight (approx. 4 kg) wafer pallet that uses
vacuum grooves to secure and hold the wafer.

Precision wafer pallet – A heavy pallet option that requires an additional


machine transport rail upgrade. This pallet has a high flatness specification
and utilizes a porus material to support the wafer and maintain vacuum.

Both the standard and precision pallets utilize a wafer shim to contain the
wafer. Wafer sizes of 100 mm to 300 mm with thicknesses of 150 um and
above can be accommodated. Both systems are fitted with wafer ejector pins
to release the wafer from the pallet, allowing a wafer handler to process the
wafer before and after the print. A wafer shield option, which helps protect
wafers at the interface between the wafer and the pallet, can be incorporated
for both pallet types.

Key benefits:
■ Consistent flatness, stable printing, process control
■ Pallet size: 400 mm x 400 mm
■ Wafer diameters: 4/5/6/8/12 inches (100 mm to 300 mm)
■ Wafer thickness: 150 µm to 600 µm
■ The wafer is vacuum-secured during transport; automatic and
manual operation
■ Custom solutions available
■ Data formats: Gerber, DXF, DWG
■ Material: Durastone, aluminum and sintered stainless steel.

DEK Ultra-Fine Pitch (UFP)
ECO understencil cleaning rolls
DEK UFP ECO rolls are designed to boost productivity and yield,
reduce defects and decrease manufacturing costs.

The unique 3D architecture of DEK UFP ECO understencil cleaning rolls counters
the risk of contamination as the fabric traps solder paste and solders balls within its
pockets. This is a key differentiator from paper-based products that allow paste to remain
on the surface of the paper, creating the potential for contamination. Consequently,
DEK UFP ECO rolls not only ensure effective understencil cleaning, they also prevent
contamination-related defects.

Ideal for ultra-fine-pitch apertures inherent with today’s miniaturized devices, DEK UFP
ECO rolls ensure a quick and effective clean. The hydrophilic properties of the fibers
provide fast wicking, as solvent is delivered through the fabric to the bottom of stencil
instantaneously so that cleaning is more thorough and solvent consumption is reduced.

Features and benefits:


■ Outstanding cleaning performance
■ Reduced solvent consumption by an average of 50%
■ Unique 3D structure traps solder particles away from the stencil,
removing smear
■ Ultra-low linting, Class 1000, ISO6 cleanroom compatible
■ Enhanced vacuum performance
■ Hydrophilic fiber structure for rapid solvent wicking
■ ESD-safe packaging
■ Improved process control
■ Non-abrasive structure of fabric increases stencil and coating life
■ Environmentally-friendly, chloride-free, recyclable
■ Faster, more effective cleaning cycle leading to higher throughput

DEK Solder paste nozzles
DEK Solder paste nozzles have been designed to facilitate solder paste
cartridge changeover more cleanly and efficiently than conventional re-usable

clean-up of internal threads and solder paste drip, which are
common side effects of threaded dispense tip installation.

With this unique design, manufacturers can reduce process


costs, lower material waste and limit operator intervention.

Features and benefits:


■ Color-coded: Visual identification of leaded and lead-free
solder pastes.
■ Non-drip: Paste flow is more controlled and excess material
reduced; ‘X’ low profile promotes paste mixing during solder
bead deposition.
■ Disposable: Simple, reduced-cost nozzles can be disposed
of with the empty solder paste tube. Eliminates messy, time-
consuming nozzle changes. Compatible with SEMCO® type
paste tubes.
■ Low waste and anti-mix strategy compliant: Compact format
reduces the amount of paste ‘in transit’ through the nozzle.
Disposable design ensures no cross contamination of paste
types.
