NOVATEC
has entered into a new agreement with DEK. DEK is the worldwide
eclusive licencee of NOVATEC for the ProFlex™ technology.
ProFlex™ will enable high accuracy mass imaging to surpass
resolutions of 150 µm in commercial volumes. By extending
process capability in this way, ProFlex opens the door to
high volume manufacturing of next generation component packages
requiring fine-pitch area grid arrays, and to SMT assembly
of next generation chip-scale packages.
ProFlex
will be available as a factory fitted option for new machines,
and as a machine performance upgrade (MPU) to machines already
in the field. It is the result of in-depth studies into stencil
behaviour during the separation phase. Because stencil separation
has a significant impact on paste release, its influence over
stencil cleaning requirements is particularly critical for
very small apertures. The need to invoke frequent stencil
cleaning cycles reduces throughput. By changing the stencil's
behaviour during separation, ProFlex minimises aperture blocking
to reduce the number of stencil cleaning cycles
ProFlex
™ will be shown at Productronica 2003.
ProFlex™
is a Trade Mark of DEK.
