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.

1. Gain access to the manual tooling plate.
2. Power down the machine.
3. Ensure the front FormFlex tooling module has the two registration grub
screws fitted to the base of the unit. Locate the grub screws in the holes in
the front edge of the manual tooling plate.
NOTE
When placing the tooling modules on the manual tooling plate, ensure that
the fluid cut-off valve is on the left and the pneumatic connection is on the
right.
4. The remaining tooling modules can be configured to suit the product to be
printed. The tooling modules can be staggered in the X axis and/or spread
evenly in the Y axis to fully support the product to be printed.
5. Connect 4mm pneumatic tubing from the pneumatic connector of the tooling
modules to the sequencing manifold as shown in the figure below.
