With the UP2000 that has vacuum board hold down, the Grid Loc hoses defeat the vacuum in order for them to exit the work table. Big boards require more girds, thus more hoses. Set-up between large and small boards takes time to remove or add the gr

A couple things on the Grid-Lok system. They now offer a top-side edge clamping system. The edge clamping system works very well for warped, twisted boards etc.. Using this system in the auto mode also allows the pins to contour to the geography of

I don't sell them for $25K either but my point is they can be had for that price. In fact the last (2) that I had I purchased for $8K and $9K. I never have claimed to be the cheapest dealer around and it's not my intention......I only intend to be

Thinking about this auto-mode on Grid-Lok..... Ok, the board is warped, lets say positively, the pins conform to the warped board... what about the effect on top side and squeegee pressure? It will be much higher and could damage stencils, right? Pos

We are constantly messing around with easy ways to transport double sided boards through reflow. (Boards that cannot ride on the chain fingers for any number of reasons). We've got some fancy Durostone carriers that work awesome but are product spe

Good Morning SWAG, We have the same situation. We have found that for the most part, bottomside components do not move from thier location durring reflow unless pressure is applied. We have had instances where the component is able to drop down into

I am currently contemplating the purchase of a pcb prototyping machine. The machine will be used to prototype some patch antennas, microwave circuits, embedded systems, boards for various surface mount chips evaluations, possibly milling PZT materia

I assume that you are referring to the same kind of mechanical feeders (older type) that are used on the Philips (Assembl�on) Topaz as well. First make sure that the right gear pulley spring is set to its stiffest position (the loop at the end of the

I don't remember ever having that problem with my EKRAs, but you might look at how much fluid you're dispensing on to the cleaning medium if this is occurring while you're using wet cleaning cycles. It could be getting saturated to the point of weakn
