Subject: PCB carrier for automated assembly line
Date: Wednesday, February 14, 1996 8:01AM

I am looking for a carrier that can transport different sized PCB's through
our automated surface mount assembly line (screenprint, adhesive dispense,
P&P, inspection, reflow, buffer).
The different machines have different conveyors, edge-belts etc.
I don't want to re-adjust the transport-width of all the machines after 
every
type of PCB. That's why i'm now designing an aluminium, adjustable carrier.

Is there someone out there who has a different solution or who can advise 
me?

Thanks!
