Lead-free Products Portfolio Now Available
June 2, 2005 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
FLEMINGTON, N.J. — DEK's new lead-free products and services offering, titled DEK Lead-Free, focuses on maximizing productivity and process capability for customers who screen-print with lead-free solder pastes. Products within the brand include stencils optimized for lead-free solder paste behavior, specially designed squeegees and cleaning materials, lead-free stencil storage, and a dedicated lead-free Printer Caddy.
Formalized methodologies also ensure the fastest possible implementation at each site, and are tailored to individual customer needs. A lead-free process knowledge and compatibility database for lead-free solder pastes and materials, created through laboratory research, collaboration with technology partners and successful lead-free process development projects, is also available. DEK's approach to implementing lead-free pre-placement begins with a focused process audit, and subsequently follows their established Site Implementation Plan (SIP) methodology, reducing turnaround time and minimizing risk when creating lead-free processes to meet various requirements. Additional features include tutored workshop sessions with following Q & A, allowing for hands-on experience with lead-free materials and processes in an offline environment at DEK technical centers located throughout Europe, North America and Asia.
"As the first assembly process in virtually all SMT production lines, screen printing needs to be perfectly in balance to achieve high quality and high yield at the end-of-line," says Mike Besant, DEK European sales and distribution general manager. "DEK Lead-Free not only enables an optimally efficient, right-first-time transition to lead-free screen printing, but also includes all process support products, knowledge and process development expertise to support our customers' lead-free processes in the longer term."
