  • Publication number: 20060040521
    Abstract: A printed circuit board conveying system is provided comprising a printed circuit board conveyor and a printed circuit board support. The printed circuit board support is positioned to support a major portion of the printed circuit board between opposite lateral edge portions of the board and comprises a support base, a spacer, and a spacer securement. A printed circuit board processing system including the conveying system is also provided. The conveying system couples a printed circuit board loader to a stencil printer, a pick and place machine, and a reflow oven.

  • Patent number: 6996898
    Abstract: A printed circuit board support including a first member having a planar upper surface for supporting a printed circuit board. At least one second member is movably coupled to a first side of the first member and movable toward and away from the side of the movable member, and a bias source biases the second member in a direction away from the first member.

  • Patent number: 6766736
    Abstract: Stencils are provided for more precisely aligning stencil orifices with terminals or “targets” on a substrate. One such stencil is adapted for registration with an electronic substrate, such as a PCB, about a locus. The stencil includes a stencil body and an array of printing orifices passing through the stencil body. The printing orifices may have varying sizes, with the size of each printing orifice being a function of a distance of the printing orifice from the locus. Various methods are also provided, including methods for applying solder on electronic substrates using stencils and methods and systems for designing such stencils.

  • Patent number: 6722027
    Abstract: A printed circuit board support including a first member having a planar upper surface for supporting a printed circuit board. At least one second member is movably coupled to a first side of the first member and movable toward and away from the side of the movable member, and a bias source biases the second member in a direction away from the first member. The support is readily compressed to allow placement into or onto a space defined by surfaces of a positioning device, and the support expands upon its release to fill the space. When the support is left in the positioning device during a change over to a different circuit board, the support will automatically adjust to any width-wise adjustment in the space between the surfaces of the positioning device.
