DEK多功能组合夹板（APC）
DEK All-Purpose Clamping (APC) - Highly flexible board clamping

模块化且强大的 DEK NeoHorizon印刷机能适应任何需求。例如，多功能APC系统现在可选用于两个基础版本的平台，即可用于DEK NeoHorizon 03iX ，也可用于 NeoHorizon 01iX。

借助 APC，电路板会根据印刷程序中存储的信息稳定地夹持在合适的位置。APC 为什么如此特别？那是因为用户可以根据特定电路板来从下面三种夹紧模式中选择最合适的夹板方式：传统的顶压式（OTT）夹紧方式是许多应用的首选，因为它能压平翘曲的电路板；如果应用需要靠近板边缘的印刷，则可以选择顶压式侧夹（OTS）模式。


OTS 将传统的顶压与侧夹的优势相结合

顶压式侧夹（OTS）模式将顶压式（OTT）和侧夹相结合。其优势：通过顶压式夹板系统电路板被压平后，轨道夹片缩回到基板的高度，以便机器可以印刷板边缘区域。

还可以借助第三种夹紧选项，无需缩回夹片，机器即可将OTT和OTS 模式相结合。这确保了电路板自上而下及横向都安全地固定在合适的位置，从而打造了极其可靠的印刷工艺。DEK APC所有的参数通过友好的用户界面输入，并与生产数据一起被存储。

无论您选择哪一种夹紧模式，APC 系统完全由传感器控制且可配置。这将防止即使是非常薄的基板，当侧部夹具弹出并使用时，也可以在真空系统的帮助下保持合适的位置。机器能识别任何问题并且可以通知操作员。

总之，APC可确保印刷工艺中牢固和灵活的夹紧操作。（SMTC@ACT）

Modular and powerful, DEK NeoHorizon printers can be adapted to any requirement. The versatile All-Purpose Clamping (APC) system, for example, is now available for both basic versions, the DEK NeoHorizon 03iX and the NeoHorizon 01iX.
With APC, boards are kept firmly in place based on information stored in the print program. What makes APC so special is the fact that the user can choose from three clamping modes based on what works best for the particular board: Classic over-the-top (OTT) clamping is the method of choice for many applications, because it can flatten warped boards; if the application requires printing close to the board edge, the Over-the-Top Snugger (OTS) mode is available.

OTS combines the benefits of classic over-top and lateral clamping
The Over-the-Top Snugger (OTS) mode combines both OTT and lateral clamping. Its advantage: after the board has been leveled via over-the-top clamping, the rails retract to the substrate level so that the machine can print close to the board edge.
With the third option, the machine combines the OTT and OTS modes without retracting the clamps. This keeps the board safely in place both top-down and laterally for an extremely reliable printing process. All parameters for DEK All-Purpose Clamping are entered via the user-friendly interface and stored along with the product data.
No matter which clamping mode you choose, the APC system is completely sensor-controlled and configurable. This prevents even very thin substrates, which are kept in place with the help of a vacuum system when lateral clamping is used, from popping out. The machine recognizes any problems and notifies the operator.
In short, APC ensures secure and flexible clamping for the printing process.
