DEK Squeegee Blades

Dobeter supply a wide range of DEK squeegee blades, these DEK squeegee blades are precision tools for stencil printing in SMT processes, available in various materials, sizes, and angles to suit standard, fine-pitch, and heterogeneous PCBs.
Types of DEK Squeegee Blades supplied by Dobeter:

1. Material Options:
– Stainless Steel: Most widely used for robust SMT processes, offering excellent consistency, minimal wear, and a wide pressure window, suitable for heterogeneous PCBs with variable flatness .
– Polyurethane: Bonded or PumpPrint™ squeegees are designed for specific applications requiring more controlled paste deposition and reduced wear .

2. Metal Clamped or Bonded Blades:
– Metal Clamped Squeegees: Commonly feature overhangs (6mm or 15mm) and angles of 45° or 60° to accommodate various stencil thicknesses and paste volumes .
– Polyurethane Bonded Blades: Available in different hardness (70–75 Shore) and angles to optimize paste deposition .

Dobeter ‘s DEK squeegee blades come in lengths from 100mm up to 610mm, with common OEM sizes including 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, 350mm, 400mm, 440mm, 480mm, 500mm, 535mm, and 580mm , blades are compatible with the DEK series of stencil printers, and holders are precision-machined aluminum to match the original equipment manufacturer specifications.

Angles and Applications

– Standard Angle: 60° is recommended for normal paste filling of apertures.
– Adjusted Angle: 45° provides extra downward force for increased aperture filling or uneven surfaces.
– Special Blades: Mobile edge or etched blades are available to flex locally for challenging PCB topographies .

Dobeter ‘s DEK squeegee blades offer a range of precision options to ensure reliable solder paste printing, with stainless steel and polyurethane materials, multiple sizes, angles, and overhangs tailored for various SMT applications .
