Good Morning, I feel that the Grid Lock system (with stealth mode) is the best system for absolute support. For us, it came down to spending 5K or 30K. We went with the 5K. The system we got is not perfect but serves our needs. The Grid lock resets h

Did you like the FormFlex tooling as far as support goes? I would be more inclined to spend the set up time if we got better support. As of now we have about 30min, between runs so the set up time isn�t as important as the cost and the support is. We

I would definately try to sell the bosses on the Grid-lok over the gel piggies. We evaluated both and wound up buying the Gel (for close to the same money). On an MPM if you put enough gel packs in the vacuum box (to support the board) it holds the b

We are looking for a new way to support PCAs in the DEK. I am trying to push for getting grid-locks but have been told they cost to much. Right now we are trying out another support system (hell if I can remember what they are called) like the grid-l

Has anybody tried those gel filled little piggies yet?

P.S. I evaluated the Red-e-set and didn't think much of them either.

So the Grid-Loks are the best but if it was between the FormFlex or the Red-E-Sets what be the best? Megan

No. What are they and where can I find more info. on them? We are using Red-E-Sets and I hate them. They take forever to set up and I feel that they aren't as good as some of the supports that I have used in the past. But we got a 30 day trial so for

We worked with 3-4 revisions of the form-flex and they all had problems with stuck pins or pins that just wouldn't come out (due to leaks). The Form flex was pneumatic and hydraulic and worked well for awhile (2-3 weeks)but never seemed to last much

Yep, just finished a 30 day eval. Way cool stuff. Spendy though. The Gel did not solve all scenarios encountered. But, is a fantastic alternative to rigid tooling. I have many Grid Lok systems. There are pro's and cons to both systems. Overall,
