Gerber EZ is not available on the Accuflex platform. Speedline (now ITW EAE), like most manufactures, do not want to offer new tools on old platforms. There is one feature in the AccuPro software that I don't believe was added in any version of the

We recently added an SPM printer to our SMT department and I need to buy some tooling pins and center supports. Other than MPM, is there any aftermarket support for this machine? Can anyone point me towards any suppliers for the above mentioned parts

FYI: MPM does in fact offer alternate board support tooling than the vacuum box system. They have the X and Y snugger tooling, which clamps the board and uses magnetic support pins. If you are looking at a used UP2000, check to see what tooling it ha

FormFlex and the GridLok system will not work on a semi-automatic printer. They were designed for fully automatic machines. The print table is very shallow on the DEK 248, SMTechs and MPM SPM, UP100 and MicroFlex. DEK should have magnetic base suppor

Price of DEK 248 and MPM UP100 are about the same, $22-36K range. MPM UP100 has programmable squeegee pressure. Precise, repeatable results with less operator involvement. Pressure parameters saved in board program file. DEK 248 has manual microm

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

You don't want dedicated tooling. Make sure your machine comes with front and rear dams and plenty of side chucks and magnetic support pins. The best option for these machines is the side snugger option but it doesn't sound like your machine has that

| My printer evaluation has come down to the Fuji GP-6 or the Dek 265LT. I'm looking for experienced opinions on both of these options, we're currently running an older vintage Dek 265 printer that gives us constant electronic system problems. The v

| SMT-ers | | I notice that most suppliers provide data that is eye-catching but avoid providing data of significant technical relevance, such as Cp and Cpk. It would perhaps be a wise idea for standards to be formulated in this area. | For

We solved the issue. A stencil must be clamped in the machine to allow the command. The stencil serves to hold the board level, while the pins are set. The machine is smarter than us.... :/
