What it is

The Dek NeoHorizon 03 ix is a screen printer for assembly and SMT use.[2][1]

The Dek NeoHorizon 03 ix is configured as a solder paste printer with a Hawkeye 750 camera, Win7+09SP16 operating system, magnetic tooling pins, automatic fiducial setup, and small fiducial setup.[1]

How it works

The Dek NeoHorizon 03 ix uses a motorized stencil alignment system, a semi-automatic stencil load, and a touch-based operator interface with keyboard and trackball.[5][3][6]

The Dek NeoHorizon 03 ix supports understencil cleaning and machine alignment features intended to control paste print quality and repeatability.[5][3][6]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Dek NeoHorizon 03 ix belongs at the front end of SMT assembly, where solder paste is printed onto the board before pick-and-place and later reflow processing.

Applications

The Dek NeoHorizon 03 ix is used for SMT solder paste printing on printed circuit boards.[5][3][4]
