Printorama stacking frame 600 x 400 mm, adds 44 mm usable height

In electronics manufacturing the larger batches usually travel in the 600 x 400 mm container format. As soon as the assemblies grow taller, the internal height of the container is no longer enough. The Printorama stacking frame sits on the existing container and adds 44 mm of usable height, leaving the established grid untouched.

Benefits

• 44 mm of extra usable height for densely populated boards and assemblies with tall components.
• Outer dimensions of 600 x 400 x 44 mm keep the frame in the 600 x 400 mm format and stackable with the containers of the range.
• At 0.45 kg the frame can still be fitted by hand in this larger format.
• Used only where required, so flat goods stay in the plain container.
• Part of the Printorama programme, where containers, frames and holders share the same grid.

Application

The frame is typically used at handover points between placement, test and dispatch, where assemblies are collected in the 600 x 400 mm format. Inside the ESD protected area the container with the frame stays stackable, so racking and trolleys need no modification. Buffering assemblies with heat sinks or tall connectors is another common case. For smaller containers the same frame is available in further formats.
