Ron: Chris is correct that there is a bunch of fixture fabricators that make good products that will serve your purpose. Other fixture fabricators can be found in the archives. Problems with these fixtures are: 1 Out-rageously expensive 2 Very lo

Ron, The simplest way to process fexible PCB's that I have found is to use a process carrier fixture. There are companies that manufacture process carriers that are capable of holding flex through stencil, placement and reflow. The carriers are capab

Ask for board fiducials if you're running arrays. Global fids on the panel do not work well. One handy product we use on flex is "Tacsil". Works well on SMT pallets as well as router operation. It's double sticky stuff that helps hold on to the P

First, butget. Second, flexibilities. If you have tight butget, you better choose used SMT equipment instead of the new one. It will save you hundreds of thousand dollar. Second, if you change model more frequently, you do not have many to choose. Fu

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

We covered this in a past webinar on flexible and thin board assembly I presented. The webinar is available from my archive of recordings Its also covered in the Joe Fjelstad's book on flexible circuits which is free online if you do a search. I wr

my data have the best feeder design for flexible production, with hydra head they are pretty fast. also their software is fairly easy to use. Juki machines are very reliable, and also flexible but i think for very flexible production mydata is the c

You should narrow it down more. Your list is easily achievable by most of the machines on the market. There are things like throughput, factory layout, traceability, number of operators to run the line, setup requirements, flexibility, product range

Hi all, is there anybody with hands-on experience with this pick and place or similar models? I am thinking to buy one for low-volume hi-flexibility OEM productions, so every opinion is very welcome. Thanks in advance
