Virtual Panel Carrier centers substrates and is said to enable multiple component support and alignment during screen printing and all subsequent assembly processes. Enables alignment once; reportedly no further adjustments are required. Design consists of a base carrier with a consumable foil. Said to provide stability, centering and alignment capabilities required to process substrates or components in a single panel. Parts are placed manually or loaded with a placement system. Substrates are held in the carrier via a patented four-sided tensioning mechanism. Parts are referenced using two global fiducials. Is scalable.
