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

currently we have a new Horizon 02i, new software "instinctive" is pretty easy to program and operator friendly, i love to work with proflow. Gridlock is not working so good as they told. I don't like that the paper doesn't roll while you're under cl

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
