Hi Earl,

Since a few weeks we do have this formflex-system in our 265 and it seems to work quite good, although set-up time is a bit longer than DEK promised. We were used to making a board-specific metal plate with holes in it to place DEK's support pins in, and that's no longer needed. With about 3 new boards per week that saves an awefull lot of time for production engineering.

Good point Daan. Although, if you're fortunate enough to have the latest DEK
stuff as FormFlex, this needn't necessarily be the case.

Old Steve has one of those 288's, or whatever the number (I can't remember
them as 265's or is it 283 GSX'S and LITE'S like my old Chevy engines), I
think, and I got to play with one two years ago and again a few months ago.

Anyway, anyone care to comment on the form flex stuff? I remember
programming the fine pitch auto flex (fpa) and using the non fine pitch
version as well as machining permanent fixtures to do the same job but
expensive.

Hell, I'm going down a stencil printing memory lane over the past 5 years
plus I'm snowed in, bored, and freezing in MI. How times have changed!
