DEK is expanding its range of tooling options for its printers by introducing the smaller, cost-effective Grid-Lok technology.
The new tooling system features reduced dimensions, moving from the current modules of 6 x 18 in. to 4 x 12 in. in the new system.
Features a modular array of pneumatically controlled tooling pins that conform to the underside of the board including contact with components. Each of the 12 tooling pins is tipped with anti-static material and locked independently. Pressure exerted by each pin during lift is approximately 5 g. Capable of working with boards from 50 x 50 mm to 500 x 500 mm. The conforming sequence is initiated by the operator, and is ready for use within 2 sec.
In fully automatic mode the system is controlled through the Instinctiv interface which can set its profile for every product passing through the machine.
Grid-Lok is compatible with Horizon, Infinity API, Micron Class Galaxy and Europa platforms.
