DEK APC (all Purpose Clamping)
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.
