Leading contract manufacturing specialist, JJS Electronics Ltd., has adopted DEK’s new ProActiv technology at its production facilities in Lutterworth, UK.

In addition to adding new production, engineering and development specialists, state‐of‐the‐art equipment for screen printing, pick & place and smt reflow has been installed along with the latest optical inspection and flying probe technologies.

Commenting on the addition of ProActiv to JJS, Manufacturing Manager Frazer Hayton explains: “Here at JJS, we’re continually innovating in terms of the services we can offer our customers. For this reason, we were naturally interested in ProActiv’s potential. Having beta tested the technology in partnership with DEK, we’re delighted with the results. We’re enjoying cleaner print cycles – paste comes out consistently so we know that the first print of the batch will be the same as the last. The technology has afforded our engineers larger process windows, so we have more process room to work with. This means we can be extremely confident Page 2 of 2 PR17 – ProActiv November 2010 delivering on new business, with finer pitches and more intricate designs.
