Hello Technet,

I'm looking for alternative-style baskets / methods to prevent damage (rips
parts off) double-sided boards.  I thinking of having our st.st. baskets
coated with plastic.

Background: I usually place the boards directly on the in-line cleaner's
conveyor (which also has a top/hold-down  conveyor).  I had a board that we
thought may get damaged without placing in a basket (24" x 20" x 1.75" with
1/4" mesh).  However, any slight movement - either during loading/unloading
or cleaning - rips off the higher profile smt parts.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help,
