PCB Fixture Kit

This great product works in concert with the GTL Vacuum Pump and Vacuum Manifold. The PCB Fixture Kit works by plugging the open hose into the Vacuum Manifold where the vacuum suction is controlled and then applied to each of the Fixture Blocks. When the Vacuum Manifold is turned off, the Fixture blocks are easy to move and stretch to any application size. When the Vacuum is engaged, the Fixture Blocks will not move, and will hold your application perfectly still, allowing you to probe easily, without concern the application will shift.

Features

  • Designed for Precision Probing.
  • Can be used with the Vacuum Pump and Vacuum Manifold.
  • Comes with 4 mounting blocks.
  • Each block is 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch in height
  • Stretchable to fit any GTL Probing Platform.
  • Height expansion blocks are available.
