Virtual Panel Carrier
• Allows the components to be aligned once in the virtual panel carrier (VPC) for screen printing without further adjustments for subsequent assembly processes • Centering is consistent with equal force being applied to each side of the substrate or device • Design consists of a base carrier with a low-maintenance consumable foil • Parts are placed in the carrier either manually or loaded with a placement system • Substrates are held in the carrier via a patented 4-sided tensioning mechanism and then aligned within the carrier using a centering system • Parts are referenced using two global fiducials enabling the easy transfer of VPC throughout all assembly processes DEK www.dek.com |
