There is a quick change dedicated tooling solution. It involves a "h-tower" and a machined vacuum (or non-vacuum) plate. There are two 8mm threaded holes on the table that are there for support tooling interface. The tower or tooling bolts to thos

Standard size for UP 2000 H tower. Just wanted to know if anyone went the extra step in the placement arena and saw any bounce or other problem at placement.

Thanks all for the input. We've been to both DEK and MpM for demos and seen the grid-loc in action. Think we'll probably go with that along with our h-towers and dedicated tooling.

Rob, Don't know if you bought an "H" tower with your UP or not. You did you can have a dedicated support plate made from Aluminum that has pockets machined out to match components on the bottom of the board. (Most of the workholder guys can set you

This machines support table looks similar to AP and UP machines. I believe MPM published the dimensions of the "H" tower that the dedicated plates bolts to. As far as the plate, they are typically (2) pieces with the inside hollowed out to allow for

In my past life, I used a tooling plate by JNJ that is specifically made for MPM's. The theory is - it's an alphanumeric grid, like Battleship, where you figure out your setup once, and then document it. It worked with and fit nicely with the MPM H

I can't offer much advice on acceptible rates or #'s. From a process standpoint, most of your bridging or insufficient originates in your printer. Look into buying dedicated tooling specifically designed for the build. We use "h-towers" on all hig

You might look at "Tacsil". It's a product we've used over the years for stuff like this. It's basically a sheet of material that can be cut into any shape with scissors or X-acto that's sticky on both sides. It can go thru reflow a bunch of times

In my opinion, the best solution is h-towers or similar dedicated tooling designed for each build. However, a quick cheap fix is to make templates to lay in the bottom of the centernest. If you have access to CAD software, you can print out the ger

Dedicated tooling uses what MPM calls an "H" tower. You mount the board support plate (dedicated tooling) on top of the H tower. If boards are only single-sided SMT, meaning only components on one side, the board support plate is flat with vacuum hol
