Here's another outfit that makes a board support system: http://www.production-solutions.com/ The Gel-Flex may fit in a DEK. The gel blocks and pins in the kit are 4cm high. Not sure what the centernest depth (from conveyor belt to bottom plate) i

Try: Tungsten, tungsten carbide, ceramics like boron-nitride or how about pyrex glass? Glass blowers could make "hooks" that connect to a cross bar. I would NOT use aluminum (even if anodized). Try stainless steel 316. 303, 304 do not have enough

I would try a PTFE (Teflon) wire or Teflon protected wire or you could try anodized aluminum. Its getting more and more interesting how the lead free era develops. Just a thought I wander how long its going to take the tin (not passivated with lead)

Hi Guys, We are using two types of support Jigs for our PCB boards, during the paste printing, chip shooter, and IC mounting. The two types of support Jigs are : 1) "self-fabricated" aluminium support Blocks 2) "off shelf purchased" support Pins T

I would suggest that you make pins in house, we are currently making pins & blocks for board support.

Depending on the connector you should be able to use a standard cheap arbor press with some cheap home-made tooling. Standard arbor presses typically have a rotating disc with cut-outs, remove this and put a decent quality stainless steel block in it

We see this type of problem with a couple of our boards. It has proven to be a problem with the board. During manufacture at the board house the thru holes for the connectors are plated a little too heavy causing a smaller hole. If you haven't alread

Depending on the volume, try making an aluminum pallet(s)with tooling pins to mount your boards on.

Anyone work with or have knowledge about metal core/clad boards? The board I'm working with is approximately 2" X 3/4" aluminum core pcb, in a 56 up array. There are 3 LED placements per board. I'm having trouble getting a consistent screen print.

I am planning to evaluate DEK's Formflex board support system in our plant soon. Does anyone have experiences with this? I know that the grid of pins "locks on" to a particular product after the initial setup, but am curious to know how each individu
