Can anyone tell me what type of material that the standard IPC SMT trays are made of ?? I am trying to mill some out however I need to order the correct ESD safe material ??

Thanks Dave, The reason I want to make one in-house is cost. This is not a standard part and after contacting a couple of vendors ($1,000 plus for first tray) I decided it would be much cheaper to do it in house with our CNC.

Scotty: If you have excess CNC machine capacity, it might be economic, but if your machine and design resources are loaded-up the $1000+ sounds cheap. [Just another voice screaming in the dark.]

Does it have to be made out of plastic? Wouldn't some stock aluminum plate with milled out pockets work just as well? Would the aluminum offer the same, better, or worse ESD protection?

WE have had one for many years, it has been very reliable, They are not the cadillac of wave machines, but suitable. Parts from novastar are pricy, but again we have not had many problems.

You can do much better than Novastar, their systems once made in Germany -now completely designed and manufactured in India and the quality control has suffered as well as Novastar'ss reputation and ability to keep up technologically. These machines

1. Yes, you are probably doing it now on a daily basis. 2. No, not if you want to meet the requirments for lead free.

I would recommend that you search the archives on this. This topic has been discussed to great length on many occasions. Russ
