Stackable PCB Transport and Storage Racks are made of conductive material for safe, convenient handling of printed circuit cards during assembly. Can hold up to 50 PCBs from 2” to 9.8” (5 to 25 cm) wide. Are made of conductive plastic temperature rated to 176OF, Surface resistance <10 6.
The width of the rack can be quickly adjusted for different PCB sizes by unlocking the stop latches on the top panel, pushing the side plate to the correct position and resetting the position holders. A chain and sprocket mechanism assures that the sides of the panel will be held parallel during adjustment. Adjusting the rack for new PCB size takes less than 20 sec.

Zuken and PCB Libraries Inc. have launched a CADSTAR-compatible land pattern generator, IPC-7351A LP Wizard. The tool reportedly reduces the time it takes to build library parts and ensures compatibility with the latest IPC standard for surface-mount design.
The tool consists of land pattern viewers, calculators and generators
for the creation of CAD land patterns in SMT parts libraries. The time to build a standard SMT library part (previously on average 30 min.) has been reduced. The generated library parts comply with the latest land pattern and surface-mount design requirements as defined by the IPC. Using data based on the IPC-7351 Land Pattern Standard, users can generate accurate manufacturing compliant PCBs while cutting costs.
The LP Wizard dovetails with the free library documentation and the Viewer, both provided by the IPC with the needed standard. The data entered by a PCB designer can also be shared with engineers throughout the organization with the Viewer on a project by project basis.
Available for purchase direct from PCB Libraries; all licenses come with one year of maintenance; pcblibraries.com/store/detail.aspx?ID=54
