ABC-XYZ ADJUSTABLE BOARD CRADLE
Multi-Adjustment PCB Holder With Dove-Tailed Tracks,  & Up to 12 Knobs for Adjustment & Locking X, Y and Z Axis
"The ABC Circuit Board Cradle holds the work piece over the AirBath. It is movable to allow for more freedom during any necessary alignment processes. Large PCB's can be handled without a problem." - NASA Report, Jan.  9, 2004

The ABC-XYZ is a high end adjustable PCB holding fixture with so much utility for the technician! Your PCB glides within the X-Axis, dove-tailed PCB tracks on extra-smooth, gliding ESD-safe Teflon® bushings in this multi-faceted PCB fixture.

The ABC-XYZ has up to 12 knobs for adjustments and locking in the X, Y and Z axis, two PCB holding tracks with precision machined grooves, 4 thermally-insulated thumb screws, 4 dual-purposed, tightening clamps for PCB's with irregular sides or edge connectors, a heavy-duty framework providing superb stability and durability, 4 substantial support posts with spring-activated Z-Axis plus large non-skid rubber feet.

 Secures Your PCB During Prototyping or Rework or Preheating
Wherever Soldering & DeSoldering is Done

The ABC-XYZ helps eliminate unwanted PCB movement once a chip or  component has been positioned, such as surface mount devices and ball grid arrays packages like the QFP, PLCC, BGA, SOIC, QFN, CSP and more including small ceramic capacitors and resistors. The ABC-XYZ is solid and machined to precision tolerances. Additionally, it accommodates large and small PCB's and all three axis are easily adjustable and can be locked securely into the desired position.

Flat, Table Top Feature Option: It is important to note that by simply removing the top four knobs, the ABC-XYZ becomes like all Zephyrtronics PCB holders by becoming a flat, table-top design permitting even much larger military and satellite boards to sit directly on top of the frame for either assembly, preheating, soldering, or de-soldering tasks. In fact, the table top frame is proven far superior to the cantilevered-type fixtures which can stress the substrate causing fissures and weakening solder joints. The ABC Cradles support the PCB preventing stresses to the substrates, the vias, the laminations, and to the solder joints as well
