Frequently asked questions
What is the DEK 2Di used for?
It is used for stencil inspection and printed-board inspection in DEK screen printers as part of surface-mount screen-printing process control.[1]
What does the 2Di inspect on the stencil?
It detects blocked apertures and underside smearing when predefined process limits are reached.[1]
What does the 2Di inspect on the printed board?
It verifies correct paste location, alignment, and bridge detection.[1]
How does the alignment imaging work?
The printer uses a coaxial look-up/look-down camera system that captures stencil and board images at the same time so relative movement between them is eliminated.[1]
What board conditions are addressed by the vision system?
The text states that telecentric lenses and flat lighting help compensate for board warping and variations in surface finish, and that board features can be recognized even under surface finishes such as HASL.[1]
