DEK and Stencil Franchisee AGI Demonstrate Advanced Printing Technology
December 1, 2009 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
HUNTSVILLE, AL — Showcasing the latest expansion of its global stencil network, DEK and new franchisee AGI Corporation opened the doors of their manufacturing operation to local customers in the Americas. Attended by both leading EMS and OEM electronics firms and Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, the DEK-AGI Open House was designed to highlight the company’s stencil production expertise.
The open house included demonstrations of Gerber data file manipulation, stencil cutting on the DEK T8 laser, aperture verification using the ScanCAD system, screen printing advancements on the DEK Horizon 03i platform, and a presentation from DEK on stencil metallization and manufacturing techniques. DENSO Manufacturing Tennessee Inc. (Maryville, TN), which manufactures products for the automotive industry, brought in their own boards, solder paste, and stencil Gerber data for an evaluation. The DEK-AGI team transferred DENSO’s Gerber files, precisely cut the stencil, and then loaded the stencil into the Horizon 03i, where it was printed.
DEK stencil customer and Horizon 03i user Bob Felder, VP of technical services at EMS firm United Circuits, stated that the franchise with AGI is a benefit, providing stencil support and local equipment representation from the same source. DEK has recently expanded its dedicated stencil operations through the addition of several America-based franchises. AGI, one of the most recent additions to the DEK stencil network, will provide southeastern U.S. customers with DEK manufacturing techniques and stencil products, which include traditional mesh-mount stencils in a variety of sizes and metallizations, as well as the DEK VectorGuard frameless stencil system.
