We print paste directly on to the parts then invert, place & reflow using a dedicated I/R rework station. Works well for us on a wide variety of footprints.

These systems normally use pneumatic suction cups, attached to a plotter-like device to allow the nozzle head to be accurately manipulated in three dimensions.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Come to find out our Advantis machines can place up to a 25" board. Looks like we have a big board option on them. I appreciate the help.

I thought this thread was about someone wanting a simple guide so they can train their operators on polarity for a wide range of components, not a software package for programming. I am confused, but that happens from time to time.

I'd start with the paste manufacturer's data sheet. You may be surprised how wide their process window is. If that doesn't help... Can you increase the number of PCBs in your panel?

We buy padded bags from ULINE. They work well and are self sealing also, we reuse so we don't seal them. They come in a wide array of sizes as well.

Hot bar soldering or hot bar bonding with ACF is widely used for your applications. A company I represent can assist you; Fancort Industries.

Hi Josh, Yes I am aware of what it does. We have it but have not turned it on yet. We are looking at a factory wide solution for traceability. I was just curious as to whether or not anyone has actually deployed the IFS. Thanks for the response

Any manufacturers offer an off the shelf vacuum type bare board loader that can handle boards 16"wide and 22"long? We're having issues with our de-stacker since these boards tend to come in warped.
