Production Solutions to Feature RED-E-SET High-Density Unit in Europe-SMT Booth at Productronica 2009

POWAY, CA — October 2009 — Production Solutions Inc., a leading engineering, design and manufacturing company, announces that it will feature the RED-E-SET high-density system in Europe-SMT’s booth in Hall A3, Stand 270 at the upcoming Productronica exhibition, scheduled to take place 10th – 13th November 2009 at the New Munich Trade Fair Center in Munich, Germany.

Due to the increase of densely populated double-sided circuit boards, the need for flexible, easily setup board supports has increased. To meet this demand, Production Solutions Inc., has developed the Red-E-Set high-density system for use on inline screen printers, dispensers, chipshooters and pick-and-place machines.

The RED-E-SET high-density units were designed for those applications where the PCB is highly panelized with many cutouts. The higher density of pins, 0.350" spacing, provides the necessary support.

Key benefits include a high number of support points that provide maximum support on all boards, changeover in minutes, low maintenance, and maximum support for single- and double-sided boards.

The RED-E-SET uses independently spring-loaded, nonabrasive, ESD-safe support pins that lock into place to conform to a board’s contour for repeat usage. The unit also is available in mechanical and electric versions, and is interchangeable between machines.

Unlike other support methods such as fixed pin, custom fixtures, or other more expensive support modules, the RED-E-SET is flexible and cost effective. The patented spring-loaded pin support system reduces setup time, eliminates board flex, reduces defects and increases throughput. The system can reduce setup time by as much as 84 percent.
