Production Solutions Receives Patent for Universal Board Support
POWAY, CA – A pair of Production Solutions engineers have been awarded a US patent for a universal board support.
The universal board support, which the company markets under the name Red-E-Set VB, is for screen printers with vacuum box tooling. It was issued to Douglas Farlow and Thomas Gordon. The patent number is 7,311,302.
According to the patent filing, the application informs an improved substrate support system for clamping spring loaded pins that support substrates, such as printed circuit boards, which have even profiles and uneven profiles due to components being installed on one side during manufacturing operations to the opposite side of the substrate. The substrate support system can utilize a cam lever, a knob, or a draw latch to move a clamping plate between an aligned position and a clamping position.
