DEK Fine Grain stencils


Achieving a finer grain of stainless steel, DEK Fine Grain stencils
provide superior paste release and a smoother stencil surface.

DEK Fine Grain stencils can be used with the DEK Mesh-
mounted frames, DEK VectorGuardTM Classic and DEK
VectorGuardTM High Tension frame systems. Fine grain stainless
steel stencils provide smoother laser-cut aperture walls for
improved paste release and better material transfer efficiency.
A cost-effective alternative to nickel, fine grain stainless steel is
ideal for challenging dimensions and high-density assemblies.

Stencil frame solutions
DEK stencil frame solutions give your stencil additional stability,
ensure proper and even tension, and extend their service life.
You build a foundation for stable printing processes with your
choice of patented DEK VectorGuard frames or aluminum fa-
mes for your DEK stencils. Both are available in a wide range
of sizes to fit any stencil.

Flex Support Solution


A support solution that quickly pays off. Our modular support
solution delivers maximum flexibility and the fastest setup
changeovers.

Flex Support is the innovative support solution


that gives you maximum flexibility. The secret is
its modular design. The Flex Support Base Tower
System gets adapted to the respective printer
platform, including printers from manufacturers other

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.

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 solution
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.
ASMPT 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.

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

distribution of the cleaning agent for a more productive clean
- Wick time is extremely fast compared to other cleaning fabrics

■ Effective cleaning
- Dry cycle in addition to Wet (Vac/Dry) cycle
- Delivers a superior clean for underside of the stencil

■ Broad machine compatibility


- Suitable for ASMPT, MPM, Ekra and other on-board cleaning systems, in addition to
advanced understencil cleaners
- 11 meters minimum length reduces number of changeovers and total changeover
time on DEK platforms
- 44 meter length available for latest MPM platform

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 nozzles.

DEK Solder paste nozzles easily snap into place, making the
cartridge immediately ready for use with on-board printer auto-
dispense technologies. These easy-to-use nozzles eliminate
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.

DEK Self Adjusting Paste Deflectors (SAPDs)
SAPDs enable the customer to change the print pressure without needing to adjust
the height of the paste deflectors reducing risk of stencil damage and reducing cost
through lessening material waste.

SAPDs are ideal for solder paste printing on SMT boards with
pressure forces between 0 and 20 kg to improve the level of
process control and reduce solder paste waste. The profile and
structure of the deflectors ensure that the paste does not escape
outward during the printing process. This cuts down on wasted
paste (faster ROI) and drastically reduces printing problems
resulting from dried paste on the edges. The bottom line: more
performance from the first print to the last.

There is no set up required per product, so risk of stencil coining


due to product changeover is eliminated. The deflectors can be
removed from the assembly without the need of tools with the
simple ‘clip-in’ design, therefore increasing cleanliness of the
squeegee/ deflector interface.

Features and benefits:


■ Drastically reduction of paste wastage through much reduced
tram lines.
■ Fast Return on Invest because of much reduced paste
wastage
■ More consistent paste roll
■ Reduced operator intervention
■ Increased ease of cleaning
■ Less risk of cross-contamination due to their enclosed system,
ease of cleaning and ability to ‘clip’ in new deflectors per
product.
■ Suitable for metal squeegees and lead free squeegees
