Personally I think Grid lok is inferior to the new Vacunest system, especially in screen printing. Vacunest is basically a bean bag that conforms to the shape of the PCB and then holds this shape indefinatley under vacuum, until the vacuum is releas

Well see you wrong. I've done this kind of thing for 12 years and I cna tell you that suporting boards with anything else will cause more problems. wave is an art tha needs to be respected even by engineers at AI. Once you get the process down the

Hi Steveo, What sort of products are you using the vacunest on? ie: PCB thickness, panel size, complexity etc... What brands and types of screen printers are you using? - Did you have to modify your printers? Do you also use it in your placement

We have just had gridlock installed on 4 DEK screen printers. I agree that if it partially catches a component you will have misprints. In the same respect, if a hard pin is placed in the wrong location, you will get misprints and or damaged componen

It's cumbersome. Also if it catches a part partially after initial set-up, you'll get missprints. We had one and caused about 15% missprints. Once removed and hard pin in place, no missprints. Defeats vacuum board hold down too, from all of it's

Alpha-numeric suck! Just kidding. We had a guy that was in charge of our waves who said the same thing. Never two sure what he meant by that. I've been runnning wave solder for 12 years and them Gels seem to get rid of the broken parts at wave. N

Respected all; I am currently a student at RIT and working towards my master's in Manufacturing and Mechanical System Integration with a specialization in Electronics Manufacturing. I came across an interesting topic regarding the tooling and fixt

This option sounds like it defeats the purpose of Grid-lok.

I don't believe that there is a Grid-Lok stencil printer. Grid-Lok is a board support add-on product for placement and printer machines developed by Ovation Products [ Bethlehem, PA, USA, 1-855-GRID-LOK or +1-484-893-1028, info@grid-lok.com ovation-p

Turn off Grid-Lok, turn off side clamps. Use hand inserted tooling (yeah, you may have to do some thinking here)for support. If you have vacuum, turn it on. People still use Grid-Lok?
