DEK APC (All Purpose Clamping)
Printing close to the edge
DEK APC (All Purpose Clamping) is DEK’s new universal clamping system. The board can be clamped top-down and/or laterally (snugging). Additionally, the over-top clamps can be retracted if required.
DEK APC delivers many benefits:
- Retracting of the over-top clamps allows for high-quality printing close to the edge
- The flexible clamps secure the clamping of warped boards from the top
- DEK APC automatically adjusts to the board’s thickness
- The clamping pressure is controlled and can be stored in the product file. The settings will be applied automatically for subsequent production runs.
- You save time and improve printing quality
