Check with the tooling house where you get the fixture from. They should able to help out on that subject. At least they should know have some idea where you can purchase TACSIL from. Tip: when you dealing with flex cable PCB, always ask tooling ho

Flexible circuits assembly is different from rigid board assembly. For some manfacturers, fpc assembly are some things more painful because the assembly quality is unstable. Recommend to check and hope these 2 blogs are helpful. Flexible Circuit Asse

Try the IPC-254x CAMX standards (webstds.ipc.org, no www prefix!). They define a set of generic and process-specific XML messages for equipment to send out all sorts of process-related events. I know there are standardized messages for print, dispens

Hi Evtimov, Try to stay away from GEM or SECS/GEM. It's waaaayyyy to complicated and every vendor has there own interpretation of it when it comes to events and reports that are not commonplace in the semiconductor industry, which is where the GEM-s

We've been getting more and more flex and rigid-flex assemblies. Making carriers for mounting the boards to go through printer and pick & place is becoming more challenging with the size of some of the arrays. Normally we use a pair of pins tha

It's the printing part that's the most challenge, right? You can print it correctly, then you should able to run it with PnP. You might need to have one "print" fixture only for screen printing, then transfer the printed board to SMT fixtures which

Yo Ho! I'm a little late to the party, sorry! Flex can be a simple PCB to process through Screen, Pick & Place & Reflow, if the card is designed properly. 4 symmetrical tooling holes .125" diameter and 5mm in on each corner of the card. Wedge Effect:

Very late but here's my 2 cents. Will require a custom fixture for every flex or semi-rigid flex. Depending on panel thickness; use 2 tooling hole to fixture on one axis, other tooling holes will have pullers to ensure proper placement. Even with the
