The DEK Horizon 03 is a screen printer for SMT assembly. The DEK Horizon 03 handles boards up to 510mm x 508mm with a minimum board size of 40mm x 50mm. The DEK Horizon 03 uses vision recognition alignment with a single telecentric XY camera.[1]

What it is
The Dek Horizon 03 accommodates boards with a minimum size of 40 mm by 50 mm and a maximum size of 510 mm by 508 mm. The machine accepts boards with a thickness from 0.4 mm to 6.0 mm and a maximum weight of 1 kg.[1]
How it works
The Dek Horizon 03 uses a vision-based alignment system for registration. The machine employs a single telecentric XY camera to recognize fiducials. The recognition method supports synthetic shape or video model recognition. Alignment calibration is fully automatic.[1]
Screen printers of this class operate by placing a stencil over the printed circuit board and moving a squeegee across the stencil to force solder paste through the apertures. The Dek Horizon 03 includes programmable transport speed of 400 mm/sec and selectable feed direction.[1]
