Laser-cutting process

Superior stencil design, coupled with quality manufacturing, ensures that you achieve maximum end of the line yield. Control of the aperture characteristics, stencil thickness and accurate fiducial generation are directly correlated to the volume, alignment and positioning of material deposited during printing. Here at DEK, we bring new understanding and technical expertise to these critical stencil manufacturing parameters and ensures that your laser-cut stencils are of the highest quality and are delivered according to your schedule.

DEK’s proprietary stencil cutting equipment provides customers with the most precise and accurate products on the market today. With guaranteed tolerance of aperture dimensions to +/- 5µm over the entire printable area, equipment that ensures speed and precision for the manufacture of fine-pitch, high-density stencils and the assurance of 100% inspection of each stencil, our laser-cutting process delivers stencils for today’s most demanding applications.

Intrinsic properties of the laser-cutting process result in apertures with a trapezoidal cross-section, which allows for excellent paste release. The flexibility of our state-of-the-art T8 laser equipment enables the creation of high-contrast fiducials on the surface of the stencil with extreme accuracy and eliminates the need for in-filling.
