DEK's Micron Class Offering Shows Record Growth
November 17, 2005 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
FLEMINGTON, N.J. — DEK's recently launched Micron Class product range, founded on Galaxy and Europa technologies, represented the largest percentage sales increase of any DEK platform during July and August. Galaxy enjoyed an exceptionally solid performance, representing 16% of total sales for August, compared with 6% in July. Meanwhile, for the same period, the company confirmed that Europa sales grew from 1% to 7%.
The Micron Class range was launched to drive next-generation SMT processes. The Galaxy and Europa machines provide manufacturers with speed and accuracy for applications at wafer, substrate and board level. The Micron Class platform also features DEK Instinctiv for enhanced productivity, extensive communication capabilities and optimal traceability. DEK's machine user interface employs human factors techniques to display complex machine and process data in a simple format. Operators using Instinctiv are said to be able to achieve consistently higher levels of productivity with less training, maximize uptime and optimize complex processes. Advanced graphical techniques, TimeToGo real-time indication of consumables levels and extensive on-board help and error recovery facilities all are notable features.
Using Internet-based VPN technology, Instinctiv is able to link to DEK's Interactiv portfolio of online support services. With Interactiv, machine operators can independently query DEK's knowledge servers based at technical centers around the world. Interactiv also supports voice communication to the DEK global helpdesk service, meaning that operators can directly access round the clock product and process support from their machine. As a consequence, the new Micron Class platform also provides access to detailed, continually updated process and setup information at the touch of a button.
