DEK Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full DEK product range. Below are the major product families we service.
DEK Horizon Series
High-speed solder paste printing systems with advanced vision registration and squeegee control. Common faults include print head misalignment, vacuum system failure, and registration camera drift affecting print quality and registration accuracy.
DEK NeoHorizon Series
Next-generation modular solder paste printers with integrated inline AOI and conformal coating capability. Typical issues include stencil cleaning system blockages, solder paste viscosity sensor failures, and Ethernet communication errors between printer and central control.
DEK Axia Series
Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems for solder joint quality verification and component placement validation. Common faults involve LED array degradation, image capture sensor defects, software calibration loss, and network connectivity issues impacting production line visibility.
DEK EuroPress Series
Screen printing systems for adhesive, conformal coating, and specialty paste application with precision pressure control. Failures typically stem from pneumatic regulator drift, squeegee blade wear accelerating uneven deposits, and parallel printer platform misalignment.
DEK Control Modules & Vision Systems
Embedded control boards, power supplies, vision processor units, and stepper motor drivers supporting DEK assembly equipment. Issues include capacitor aging in power sections, vision processor board dry-joint failures, stepper driver overtemperature shutdown, and firmware version incompatibility.

Common DEK Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in DEK equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Solder paste print registration drift beyond tolerance — DEK Horizon and NeoHorizon vision registration systems experience fiducial mark detection loss due to LED array aging, camera lens contamination, or calibration matrix corruption. High ambient temperature (>35°C) in Indian manufacturing environments accelerates optical sensor degradation.
- ✓Squeegee pressure loss or uneven pressure distribution — DEK printing systems rely on precision pneumatic pressure regulators and piezo-actuated pressure sensors. Moisture ingress in compressed air lines, regulator diaphragm rupture, and sensor calibration drift cause print quality degradation and voiding defects.
- ✓Axia AOI system intermittent defect detection or false rejects — DEK Axia vision processors suffer from LED ring light brightness degradation, CCD sensor dark current accumulation, or image processing algorithm drift. Poor lighting conditions in Indian plant floors worsen LED aging, causing inconsistent solder joint assessment.
- ✓Control system unable to communicate with vision or motion modules — DEK embedded control boards use proprietary Ethernet and serial protocols. Dry-joint failures on processor boards, corrupted firmware, or incompatible software versions prevent module handshake. Indian facilities with high dust levels experience connector corrosion accelerating communication loss.
- ✓EuroPress screen printing head misalignment or stroke inconsistency — Mechanical wear in parallel linkage arms, stepper motor detent loss, or gearbox backlash accumulation cause squeegee stroke variation. High ambient humidity in coastal Indian regions (Kerala, Gujarat ports) accelerates bearing corrosion.
- ✓Stencil cleaning system blockage or vacuum loss — DEK NeoHorizon stencil cleaners experience compressed air line clogging from moisture and particulate buildup, vacuum motor bearing seizure, and drain valve jams from dried solder paste residue. Indian tap water mineral content accelerates deposits in pneumatic lines.

Frequently Asked Questions — DEK Repairs
Do you repair DEK equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete DEK product portfolio — solder paste printers (Horizon, NeoHorizon, EuroPress), AOI systems (Axia series), and all embedded control modules and vision processors. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all other major manufacturing hubs. All equipment is repaired at our Vadodara, Gujarat facility by engineers certified in DEK systems. Typical turnaround is 5-7 business days.
What is the typical cost of repairing a DEK Horizon printing system?+
DEK Horizon repair costs range from INR 25,000 (sensor or regulator replacement) to INR 2,50,000+ (complete print head rebuild or vision processor board replacement). Synchronics provides upfront diagnostic reports with itemised repair quotes before proceeding. We source genuine DEK replacement parts where needed, and offer refurbished modules as cost-effective alternatives. Contact us with your equipment serial number and fault description for a precise estimate.
Can Synchronics repair legacy DEK printing systems (pre-2010 models)?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains extensive technical documentation and spare parts inventory for legacy DEK systems including original Horizon series, EuroPress 60/80, and discontinued control boards. We reverse-engineer obsolete components where necessary using modern PCB design tools, and have successfully refurbished 15+ year-old DEK printers for Indian manufacturers. We recommend preventive inspections on legacy equipment to catch electrolytic capacitor aging before catastrophic failure.
Does Synchronics offer on-site DEK equipment troubleshooting and preventive maintenance?+
Yes. Synchronics provides on-site diagnostic visits for DEK systems in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana at competitive rates. Our engineers perform vision calibration verification, pneumatic system audits, electrical safety checks, and firmware validation at your facility. We also supply preventive maintenance schedules tailored to Indian manufacturing environments — accounting for heat, humidity, dust, and compressed air quality challenges specific to Indian plant floors.
What warranty do you provide on DEK repairs?+
Synchronics provides 12-month warranty on all repaired DEK components and modules, including parts labour. Extended 24-month warranties are available on vision processors, control boards, and pneumatic assemblies at nominal additional cost. Warranty covers defects arising from repair workmanship; normal wear, environmental factors, and operator misuse are excluded. We provide detailed test reports documenting pre-repair and post-repair performance for warranty reference.
How do I send my DEK unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a DEK drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on DEK repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your DEK unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
