ASM Assembly Systems to Share Printing and Placement Expertise
with Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show Delegates
At next month’s Southern Manufacturing & Electronics event in Farnborough, the DEK and
SIPLACE teams are set to take part in their first UK-based joint exhibition display since ASM
Pacific Technology’s (ASMPT’s) acquisition of DEK in July 2014.
Now unified under the
ASM Assembly Systems umbrella, the printing and placement market leaders are uniquely
positioned to provide comprehensive expertise for the entire SMT process.
“With an unmatched knowledge base that leverages the best talent in printing and
placement technology, ASM offers customers the opportunity to develop more cost-effective,
efficient and simplified processes,” explains Richard Timms, Managing Director ASM
Assembly Systems UK Limited. “This expertise is critical to manufacturers across the globe
as miniaturization becomes mainstream and printing and placement accuracy nonnegotiable.”
From stand #L27, the ASM team will highlight a total solutions approach to printing – one
that incorporates the quality of DEK Process Support Products alongside the performance of
DEK print platforms for a printing methodology that emphasizes the importance of robust
understencil fabrics, cleaning chemistries and stencils to enable exceptional results from
high-accuracy, flexible DEK print platforms. Throughout the three-day event, which takes
place from 10 through 12 February, ASM’s printing display will showcase the full range of
DEK Process Support Products as well as the award-winning Horizon 03iX printing platform.
“Today’s manufacturers require flexible solutions that simplify complex printing processes,”
comments Mark Huggins, Sales Account Manager for ASM’s Printing Solutions Division.
“The Horizon 03iX platform is customizable to align with specific manufacturing needs and
allows for simple programming and operation for even the most challenging assemblies.
Assembly specialists want intelligent technologies that do the heavy lifting for them and that
is what they consistently get out of DEK products.”
Alongside DEK printing colleagues, ASM Assembly Systems’ Placement Solutions Division
will share SIPLACE solutions through discussions with show delegates regarding the
requirements for various applications.
Using the latest SIPLACE demo board, which
illuminates the challenges currently faced by electronics manufacturing specialists, the
SIPLACE team will showcase its developments in placement technology for the handheld,
LED (active parts), automotive and industrial sectors.
“The components and technologies being employed in each of these markets are broad in
scope and required capability,” comments Derick Cullen, Sales Account Manager for ASM’s
Placement Solutions Division. “Accurately placing such a wide range of parts at high speed
takes precision and reliability and this is where SIPLACE technology has an advantage: our
software suite and range of placement platforms ensure high yield no matter what the
component challenge.”
Southern Manufacturing and Electronics attendees are invited to visit the ASM stand, tap
into the printing and placement expertise of our teams and learn how to raise yields and
lower overall process cost. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please

The customizable Horizon 03iX platform allows
for simple programming and operation for even
the most challenging assemblies.
