Tooling Plate | 26 October, 2000

I am looking for tooling plate manufactures. I am kind of new to the SMT process, well as far as tooling goes, and I am trying to find a machinist to make tooling plates for Fuji and Siemens placement machines. Does anyone have any recommendation for a qualified person or persons to handle me request? Right now we use support pins and I am looking for alternative methods.

Thanks, Chris

Why would you want to buy Tooling Fixtures for all of your boards if you only plan on using them for the placement machines. I would think the extra cost, increased timeframe, and trouble of converting all current product would be a deterant. Have you looked into alternatives to tooling pins. Foam is a cheap alternative that reduces the risk of bottomside part damage.

You can find alot of info in the archives on this one. I am not sure what to search under but "support" is a good place to start.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong!!!
