CHAPTER 1 ALL PURPOSE CLAMPING (APC)
OVERVIEW
The All Purpose Clamping (APC) system is a substrate management system
that provides multiple clamping and holding options to assist in the processing
of various types of PCB’s that can pass through the DEK screen printer.
The APC system enables clamping of the PCB in three software selectable
modes:
1. Snug Only - the PCB is clamped on the sides, or ends, after first being
flattened into position by the Over The Top (OTT) foils (which are retracted
ahead of the print cycle).
2. Clamp Only - the PCB is clamped using traditional OTT clamping.
3. Snug and Clamp - the PCB is OTT clamped and snugged.
