• Eliminates expensive and labor-intensive masking
• Shields heat-sensitive components
• Processes multiple boards at the same time
• Reduces bridging and skipping
• Increases production and enhances automated assembly

Wave Solder Pallets will lead to overall process efficiency and are custom-engineered and manufactured to each client's specifications.

Press Fit Fixtures are used to support circuit boards during the insertion of press fit connectors. During this operation, a considerable amount of force is required to insert the connector into the board.

Press Fit Fixtures are made using ESD composite, G10, aluminum 6061 or stainless steel based on the customer's request.

Benefits:

• Provides complete support for press fit components
• Reduces the possibility of damage to press fit components during the process
• Reduces cost and setup time in the manufacturing process
• Universal fixtures can be manufactured to allow for quick modifications for a variety of boards

Press Fit Fixtures support products during the assembly process and are made from ESD composite material or metal alloy depending on customer requirements.

Surface Mount Process Carriers are engineered to precisely align and hold circuit boards from start to finish in the assembly process. These carriers are made of high-temperature semi-conductive composite materials, and are used from start to finish in the assembly process.

Benefits:

• Reduces setup time
• Eliminates unnecessary PCB board handling by operators
• Minimizes board warping
• Eliminates expensive hand masking and labor costs
• Standardizes process repetition
• Machine parameters
• Minimizes soldering defects

Surface Mount Process Carriers are engineered to completely secure a circuit board during the overall assembly process.

Vacuum Plates provide support for the circuit board during the SMT assembly process. As the design of circuit boards have become more complex, this has become critical to avoid warping, sagging and bending of the board.

Benefits:

• Vacuum plates will ensure proper support for double-sided boards
• Quick and easy setup
• Consistent board support ensures consistency in paste deposits, reducing reworks and saving money
• Dedicated tooling is the industry standard for ensuring fast and repeatable setup and maintaining process stability
• Dedicated screen-print tooling is a proven way to reduce variation and defects
• Helps to ensure fast and repeatable setup, while maintaining process stability

Varying placement of magnetic pins from setup to setup can cause defects that are difficult to troubleshoot. Even under normal squeegee pressure, a board can flex and move if the Z plane of the board is not flat and stable. When a board flexes, the X-Y alignment, snap-off and squeegee pressure are no longer constant.

The screen-print process is full of variables that affect the success of the SMT process as a whole. Dedicated screen-print tooling is a proven way to reduce variation and defects.

Vacuum Plates provide support for the circuit board during the assembly process to avoid warping, sagging and bending of the board.
