SMT topics in focus
The productivity of an SMT line is often determined by its first machine because the solder paste printing process continues to be the most demanding operation in the workflow. This is precisely the point where DEK Productivity Solutions come into play. Innovative hardware and software raise the line’s productivity, relieve the operators, and create optimal conditions for the remaining manufacturing steps in churning out high-quality products.
Improve your process stability and your yields with our field-proven DEK Productivity Solutions and Process Support Products.

Be equipped for all stencil frames – without additional expensive adapters
There are many stencil formats, and the DEK Adjustable Width Stencil Mount accommodates all of them. A single manual step is all it takes to adjust the stencil holder, saving time and money during product changeovers.
To compensate for size differences, smaller stencils no longer need to be loaded into unwieldy stencil frames. After measuring the stencil size with the integrated ruler, the operator simply sets the desired size in one easy step. When combined with the DEK Auto-Stencil Load Option, product changeovers become significantly easier.
The DEK Adjustable Width Stencil Mount accepts stencils ranging from 381 mm × 381 mm to 736 mm × 736 mm.
Your benefits:
With the DEK Adjustable Width Stencil Mount (AWSM) you save time and money during every setup change.

Change stencils faster – with maximum process stability
DEK Auto Stencil Load automatically loads stencils into the pre-programmed position and also unloads them. It does this much faster than a human operator, and with a significantly lower probability of errors.
A short press on the touchscreen is all it takes for the DEK solder paste printer to move the new stencil into the right position. This accelerates changeovers significantly and eliminates the potential source of human error during manual insertions.
With Auto Stencil Load, you relieve the operator of another tedious and error-prone routine.
Maximum cleaning quality and reliability for future process requirements
DEK Typhoon is the most flexible and powerful understencil cleaning system for the everchanging customer stencil requirements. It is fast and thorough – even with stepped stencils, coated stencils and mixed components.
A clean stencil is a prerequisite for effective solder paste printing. The DEK Typhoon offers the maximum and most efficient cleaning for growing stencil requirements. With modern stencils being thinner, partially etched on the underside or coated, a non-oscillating system eliminates susceptibility to damage stencils.
With the DEK Typhoon you clean faster, intelligently, cost-effectively, environmentally friendly, and yet thoroughly.
A powerful combination: Automatic paste application with paste height control
More process control with more efficiency and quality: The DEK Automatic Paste Dispenser applies solder paste from a cartridge – automatically, reliably, and more evenly than by hand.
In combination with the squeegee’s Paste Roll Height Monitor, the Automatic Paste Dispenser detects when more solder paste is needed, then applies solder paste evenly with compressed air at a user-defined speed and position automatically.
With the DEK Automatic Paste Dispenser you avoid production interruptions and scrap due to late or incorrect paste application.
Safe and effective transfer – without spatulas and manual labor
The paste transfer DEK TQ Series system is designed to remove paste from stencil and deposit paste onto stencil with the aid of the front & rear squeegee, and the squeegee drip tray.
Solder paste is automatically transferred during stencil changeover eliminating the manual process by the operator as well as risk of contamination and defects.
With the DEK Automated Paste Transfer you save valuable time and solder paste.
Flexible printing of the highest quality – right to the edge
With its software-controlled linear actuators, the universal and by far most flexible All Purpose Clamping system from ASMPT automatically adapts to different PCB thicknesses and shapes.
Highly integrated and miniaturized products require the complete utilization of their PCBs, which must nevertheless be fully secured for the printing process, and DEK All Purpose Clamping makes it possible. The system easily handles the widest variety of PCBs so that they can be printed reliably all the way to the edge of the board.
With DEK All Purpose Clamping you ensure maximum flexibility and printing space.
Set support pins automatically
DEK Smart Pin Placement ensures maximum print quality with its fully flexible and programmable capability aimed at different levels of users for easy setup.
DEK Smart Pin Placement features a magazine that holds up to 60 tooling pins in two sizes on the DEK TQ L to maximize support, along with a picker to transport the pins. Once the pins have been placed in accordance with programmed instructions, the system automatically verifies their height and position.
With DEK Smart Pin Placement you ensure maximum PCB support with minimal effort.

Go/No Go paste on pad verification
The DEK HawkEye is a high-speed paste on pad verification system providing up to 100% verification of the print deposit within the line beat rate.
DEK HawkEye inspects the print deposits with speed and precision while the board is still in the printer and provides the operator with Go/No Go verification. The system recognizes reliably whether a PCB needs to be reprinted or whether the stencil underside requires cleaning.
With the DEK HawkEye you improve your printing quality without sacrificing throughput.
Closed-loop interface to SPI systems
DEK ProDEK is a statistical based software package to improve the print offset coming from material quality and other factors.
DEK ProDEK optimizes the stencil cleaning rate and reduces the required cleaning material and stencil changeover intervals. The Software makes decisions based on statistical data by collecting SPI data and the DEK part takes care of the printer adjustments in real time. DEK ProDEK works with the DEK HawkEye or Process Lens from ASMPT as well as with third-party SPI systems.
With DEK ProDEK you detect printing deviations and can correct them automatically.
