The VacuNest compliant tooling system for printing, dispensing and placement machines has a working area of up to 330 mm x 330 mm; the tabletop configuration is said to handle shape memory tooling beyond board handling. Each module is a pliable anti-static chamber containing a foam former surrounded by polymer granules. The chamber reportedly can be profiled within 30 sec. to the shape of the work piece assembly or enclosure. Under vacuum, the profile can be retained indefinitely; can be reconfigured for the next job after assembly batch is complete.
