DEK licenses stencil system to Great Lakes Engineering

August 3, 2011 — Great Lakes Engineering signed an agreement with DEK, enabling it to supply DEK’s VectorGuard interchangeable foil-frame stencil systems.

VectorGuard interchangeable foil stencil system is used by semiconductor packaging and surface mount technology assemblers to print materials.

The stencil technology is able to maintain tension over time, without an air bladder, noted John Carr, director of sales for Great Lakes Engineering. The extruded aluminum edges of each foil protect operators and enable easy assembly.  When VectorGuard foils are stored in their protective cassettes, storage space can be reduced by as much as 75% as compared to traditional stencils.

Allowing other stencil manufacturers to carry the stencil technology with their product lines simplifies supply chains for users, added DEK’s PSP Global Operations Manager, David Byrd. Great Lakes has customers in 32 states and three countries.

DEK is a global provider of advanced materials deposition technologies and support offerings. To find out more about DEK
