A couple things on the Grid-Lok system. They now offer a top-side edge clamping system. The edge clamping system works very well for warped, twisted boards etc.. Using this system in the auto mode also allows the pins to contour to the geography of

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

I would recommend the UP2000 HiE. This would more than handle what you have describe. If you have a lot of warped boards, the side clamp retro might be for you. I haven't had much production experience with the grid lock, but I know of several pe
