Blanking Plate Kit To improve gasketting when printing thin flexible boards, a set of blanking plates
are provided. These plates are clamped to the top of the tooling modules over
FormFlex pins outside the print area. The plates prevent the FormFlex pins not
supporting the board and squeegee/ProFlow head from rising as the print stroke
is performed.

The blanking plates are available in the following lengths:
• 100mm - Disables ten FormFlex pins
• 50mm - Disables five FormFlex pins
• 12mm - Disables one/two FormFlex pins
If the blanking plates are used within the board support area the component
underboard clearance is reduced to 3.5mm. However, the component under-
board clearance can be increased if the slotted thumbscrew is replaced with an
appropriate size grub screw.

During product setup, the appropriate sized blanking plates are slid onto the
tooling module outside the area of the squeegees/ProFlow and clamped in
place using the M4 x 6mm slotted thumb screw.
