UPH part holder & PCB board holder to be shown at APEC 2014
At this year's IPC APEC EXPO, in Booth #1240, Production Solutions will present the RED-E-SET UPH Universal Part Holder and GoPad PCB Rework / Repair Board Holder.
Designed to be used when custom tooling or fixturing is required, the UPH is a high-density pin array that conforms and locks to the shape of the part and remains until a different part is introduced. The system liminates expensive, time-consuming inventory management of custom molds and fixtures. Setup and changeover is completed in seconds, ensuring maximum uptime of equipment and improved productivity and quality.
Designed to aid in holding and supporting a circuit board during rework and repair, the GoPad PCB Rework / Repair Board Holder will also be exhibited by the company. It is especially suited for thin, flexible or highly routed boards.
Company representatives will demonstrate the RED-E-SET GO!, HD and SZ as well as the complete RED-E-SET product line. With the addition of the UPH and GoPad, the RED-E-SET product line now offers a full range of support tooling, from the GO! to the mid-range ML Manual Lock, to the fully automatic AS AutoSet.
The company claims that all RED-E-SET products are proven to reduce changeover times, improve quality, eliminate component damage, and increase revenue once implemented on any screen printer, pick-and-place, chip shooter or dispensing machine.
