Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
The DEK Infinity APi is a screen printer. The DEK Infinity APi performs accurate deposition for pre-placement of advanced components including CSPs and 0201s.[1]
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Dek Infinity APi is an SMT screen printer used in assembly operations. The machine is a printer rather than a placement or test system, and its role is to deposit material accurately before component placement.
How it works
The DEK Infinity APi uses an Optimised Printer Frame, motion control, positioning technologies, and the Instinctiv user interface. The machine also includes ISCAN control and diagnostics, a colour TFT touch display, keyboard, and trackball.[1]
The DEK Infinity APi supports standard and optional features intended to increase throughput, inspection, and cleaning capability. The optional feature set includes conveyor, print verification, machine vision, 2Di inspection, underscreen cleaning, automatic and custom tooling support, DirEKt Imaging, and remote setup functions.[1]
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Dek Infinity APi sits in the front end of SMT assembly, before component placement and downstream thermal processing. The printer prepares the board by depositing paste or similar material at the locations needed for later assembly steps.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe Dek Infinity APi is used in SMT assembly for board-level printing tasks. The machine supports deposition for advanced components and for production environments that require repeatable stencil printing.
