Overarm Bars provide secure PCB retention and precise component control during wave soldering and other PCB assembly processes. Custom-engineered for each application, they hold and orient topside components, secure the PCB within the fixture, and minimize board warpage on larger assemblies.
Available in hinged or detachable configurations, Overarm Bars feature spring-loaded latching mechanisms for fast, repeatable installation. Detachable designs are keyed to ensure correct orientation, while custom contact pads accommodate irregular component geometries. The result is improved process stability, faster setup, and more consistent, repeatable manufacturing performance.
