In my last life we had pretty good luck with the Grid-lok system. Just not very good for extremely large boards, or very thin ones. (Tends to push thin ones up and bend them before the table rises. **On DEK printers, mind you) Form-flex was a nightma

Gel flex is crap! If you put enough in to actually support the board, it bows. Apparently MPM knows this because they include hard pins with the set (kinda defeats the purpose huh)! I trialed the grid-lok and it worked fine and operators loved it. Th

JNJ made a nice tooling plate for MPM Hi-E series. Its intent was to replace MPM's "Universal Nest" with an alpha-numeric grid type system. I looked on their website, and they don't make it anymore. Worked great as long as you documented your setu

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

I know this is not SMT related but would anyone care to comment on Alpha 856 flux, good/bad experiences or any known issues? I did some samples recently using it and had excellent results. Information on it seems a little hard to find and it makes

We saw something like this in the machine shop years ago. Fumes from a soldering operation in the shop turned exposed iron and steel tools and the spindle on my Bridgport mill green. Can your supplier apply plating or a coating to the exposed parts o

No problem. If you get no joy you're going to have to change the footprint to a 1206 or 1210. Murata have a range of high Q value inductors (50-60) & from memory Toko used to be pretty hot too. The terminations on the coilcraft part are listed a
