If you are spending too much time on inspection, let us take your gerber data and create an inspection template for you! If you spend 4+ hours doing a first article inspection we can dramatically reduce this time down to 20-30 minutes for heavily populated printed circuit boards by creating a template for you.

Inspection Templates can significantly increase your inspection and save lots of time and money. Templates can be manufactured with location designators as well as marked in different colors to match up with component identification values. More and more companies have found by using our Inspection Templates they can eliminate the time consuming process manual inspect.

  ASI is now able to offer both stainless steel and ESD Safe plastic assembly inspection tools. These are available both unmarked and with any combination of designator and polarity text. Make quality control almost fool proof.

Stainless steel is an excellent choice for uses that will not bring it in contact with static sensitive devices or components that are powered up.

For true protection we offer ESD safe material precisely cut with a CO2 laser. This plastic is a semi conductor that will bleed a charge in a controlled manner. They can be ordered with part designators and other identifying text clearly marked.

Wave Solder Fixtures

Need a high temp fixture to take boards through wave solder or re-flow as a pallet? ASI now offers this service. Contact us for details.

            Reflow Carrier                                                  Wave Solder Fixtures

Our Wave Solder Fixtures are made from Durapol, Delmat or a combination of Delmat and Titanium materials. These fixtures will allow you to dependably solder your thru hole components while shielding your surface mount components and your Printed Circuit Board. Solder only what needs to be soldered for a reliable and quick approach rather than by hand soldering. By using our wave pallets on your assembly line you will cut time and cost!

Process Carriers

Process Carriers are made to hold your printed circuit board whether it is odd shaped, thin or of any other design. These carriers are generally made out of thinner materials so they may go all the way through your entire pick and place line, including reflow and inspection equipment. From screen print, glue (if needed), chip placer, integrated placer, reflow and AOI or any other type of inspection operation. Process Carriers support your PCB to ensure reliably placed components during your entire process, an assortment of hold downs can be used. These include cam side clamps, side pushers with and without pins,  pullers/w pins and 4 corner pushers to ensure centering.

Vacuum Blocks

We can create dedicated Vacuum Block Systems for you! These can be made for a variety of screen print machines, for an example; MPM Vacuum Blocks are made to operate either with your shop air with a Venturi type system or by utilizing the vacuum system on the MPM screen printer itself. These vacuum blocks securely hold your PCB in place while being screen printed. They are designed to screen print both sides of your printed circuit board and are designed to your specifications. 

Press Fit Tooling

  Press Fit Tooling is designed to hold your press fit connector pins without causing harm to them while being pressed into the printed circuit board. Press Fit Tooling consists of a top pusher plate that fits inside the connector and a bottom support plate to support the PCB and the barrels in your circuit board. They can be designed to attach to your press's pushing ram or as a stand alone unit.
