November 4, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Berkshire, U.K.—Companies involved in the Romanian and Bulgarian SMT industries came together at DEK Central Europe's Technological Conference on October 1, 2004, held in Poiana Brasov, Romania.
The aim of the conference was to establish a common communication platform, provide opportunities for participants to hear presentations on current industry issues and experience the latest technologies developed by DEK Printing Machines.The conference, which focused on SMT-related subjects, started with a brief introduction to DEK's Central Europe office and its activities. Set up in Gyor, Hungary five years ago, the office covers a wide area, including all the countries in Eastern and Central Europe. There are engineers from Hungary, Romania and Czech Republic all working within the Engineering Department, supporting customers throughout the whole area.
The latest technologies developed by DEK were presented to the delegates, including the VectorGuard, PumpPrint and ProFlex stencil systems, the DEK Instinctiv interface, DEK Interactiv connectivity, GridLok and FormFlex tooling support systems, Hawkeye verification system, and the new Micron Class platform for printers, represented by Europa.The subject which inspired the most heated debate was the phasing in of lead-free pastes and alloys. Dr. Thomas Ahrens from Institut Siliziumtechnologie of Fraunhofer, Germany and Cristian Tudor from Indium Corporation of Europe both shared their views. The second part of the day was interactive with hands-on workshops based on the subjects discussed during the morning, giving delegates an opportunity to explore answers to the most pressing questions and establish dialogues on common topics. The conference, the first of its type ever organized in Romania, attracted delegates from several companies, including Solectron Timisoara, Intrarom Bucharest, Novar Electric Lugoj, ROEL Bucharest, Kuhnke Relee Sibiu, Linetron IP Cluj-Napoca, AEE Bacau, ICCO EMT Brasov, TeleTek Sofia and Syscoset Sofia.
