I like using static dissipative acetal. Easy to machine, readily available, and less likely to damage parts than metal fixtures.

Good day TechNet!

We do high mix / low volume manufacturing, and often get oddball parts
in packaging that is not conducive to pick and place machines (e.g. a
bag of parts).  I would like to get a supply of material so that we can
machine a tray to hold such parts and use it to feed them into the P&P
machines.  We could make them out of material such as aluminum, but I'm
thinking that the stuff commonly used for wave soldering pallets would
be a lot easier to machine.  Can anyone advise a source for this material?

Thanks, and best wishes for the upcoming Christmas holidays!
