DEK Screen Printing Solutions

Technical Resources Corporation, or TRC, is a full service manfacturers' representative that specializes in batch and fully automatic screen printing solutions for printed circuit boards. Our partner, DEK USA, is a global leader in screen printing and associated tooling solutions. Below, we cover a few of the screen printing, stencil, and tooling options. Please visit the DEK website directly for further product information.

DEK 248

The redesigned 248 features PC-controlled menu operation and the new DEKAlign4 vision option. This machine is a batch-mode system, an excellent choice for lower-volume production operations. Programmable features include: squeegee pressure, squeegee delay, print gap, print stroke, speed, separation speed and inspection mode. This system allows for +/- 10um repeatability and allows for fine-pitch printing.

DEK Horizon 03i

Featuring cycle times of 12-14 seconds, changeover times in 2 minutes (typical), new program setup in less than 10 minutes, 510mm x 508mm board size accommodation, Instinctiv™ user interface, and 1.33 cpK stencil to board process capability. The system features ProFlow® print head, Hawkeye inspection, Grid-Lok tooling and other options, allowing for an extremely cost-effective in-line screen printing solution.

Europa

Featuring fastest cycle times in the industry, down to 4 sec! The Europa offers all the available features/benefits of the Horizon family, as well as advanced position sensing technologies, rapid throughput conveyor, remote solvent tank for stencil cleaning, and 2 cpK stencil to board process capability.

Stencil and Tooling Options

VectorGuard™ Stencils

Innovative, efficient, technologically advanced, simple and sophisticated – all are terms that can be used to describe the latest stencil technology from DEK. Building on the Vector frame concept, DEK has taken the frameless stencil system to a new level with the introduction of VectorGuard. Electronics manufacturing professionals can now realize even easier stencil handling, management, storage and changeover with DEK’s VectorGuard™ system.

LaserCut Stencils

Superior stencil design, coupled with quality manufacturing, ensures that you achieve maximum end of the line yield. Control of the aperture characteristics, stencil thickness and accurate fiducial generation are directly correlated to the volume, alignment and positioning of material deposited during printing. DEK brings new understanding and technical expertise to these critical stencil manufacturing parameters and ensures that your laser cut stencils are of the highest quality and are delivered according to your schedule.

Grid-Lok™ Tooling

The Grid-Lok™ system produces a stable, dedicated tooling fixture at the press of a button. The system supports the entire PCB assembly, without programming and with minimal operator intervention. Each of the 18 pins contained within the Grid-Lok™ tooling module has a specially molded ESD safe cap to maximize contact area and distribute setup and print forces efficiently
