Ovation Products (devision of Airline Hydraulics) makes a fixture just for Screen printing and PNP machines. This product is called grid lock. It's tooling that is air actuated and conforms to the bottom side of your PCB with gentle (gentle enough no

I have a support question concerning setting the gridlock tooling in manual mode on a MPM Momentum Elite. I am printing the top side (bottom is populated with parts) of a thin, flimsy PCB. The Grid lock tooling bows the PCB upwards in Auto mode, beca

We solved the issue. A stencil must be clamped in the machine to allow the command. The stencil serves to hold the board level, while the pins are set. The machine is smarter than us.... :/

With the upcoming of the traditional peak season(Q3), a rising price among the mainland factories, and a continual rise in the bronze price in the London Metal Exchange in August, there is also a trend for the rise in the quotation of the PCB’s upstr

T.A. board lok is fixed tooling. I have not used it, and therefore cannot comment on it. Their website describes it in detail for those interested. -The Grid-Lok system is completely pnuematic -Each pin locks individually via mechanical lock -Each

My personal preference is for manual set-up on the conformal tooling and have not seen an issue with bad support due to parts positioning variation... but if this becomes a legitimate issue, you can run in auto mode to reconform for each board (I lik

Hi Smitty, I am currently using Manual Lock Red-E-Set, and never had problems with damaged components. Although at my last workplace, we used VarioGrid, and encountered same problems as you. I suggest checking the pins on the support tools(s) you h
