TECHNICAL REFERENCE
OVERVIEW
Figure 1-2 Location of Elements (700 series)
FormFlex tooling is a fully automated tooling facility that conforms to any given
board profile, fully supporting the underside of a populated board and the
stencil.
The standard Formflex tooling system configuration of six tooling modules can
be configured to handle the following board sizes:
• Minimum board size - 38mm x 50mm
• Maximum board size - 254mm x 508mm
• Board thickness - 0.4mm - 5.0mm
FormFlex tooling array consists of 6 tooling modules, each module containing
44 pins in two rows. The FormFlex array is held magnetically to the manual
tooling plate. The FormFlex tooling height is 81mm standard tooling height, with
a maximum component under board clearance of 15mm.
With the board loaded and raised to print height, all the FormFlex pins are
extended using hydraulic fluid pressure until they meet the underside of the
board, stencil or component. The pins remain in this position supported by the
reservoir of hydraulic fluid until the system is reset.
Once the tooling has conformed to the board profile, any force exerted on the
pins, in a tooling module, is caused by differences in board profile. Variations
