Custom tooling, fixtures, and precision machining solutions
that improve yield, repeatability, and production efficiency.
PCB assembly is a sequence of highly controlled manufacturing processes. At every stage, board stability, positioning, protection, alignment, and repeatability matter.
Pentagon EMS develops specialized tooling solutions around the real-world demands of the production floor, helping manufacturers increase process efficiency, improve reliability, and maximize throughput.
Whether supporting a flexible circuit through stencil printing and reflow, protecting sensitive components during wave soldering, controlling alignment during press-fit assembly, or improving repeatability during coating, inspection, and test, our tooling helps solve complex process challenges, improve production performance, and increase overall manufacturing efficiency.
BETTER PROCESS PERFORMANCE. GREATER PRODUCTIVITY. IMPROVED PROFITABILITY.
Optimize every stage of your SMT assembly process with precision-engineered tooling designed to improve board support, handling accuracy, process stability, and production efficiency. From screen printing and component placement to reflow, Pentagon EMS delivers custom fixtures and carriers that enhance repeatability, protect assemblies, and ensure consistent manufacturing performance, especially for complex or flexible PCB applications.
Maximize solder quality, protect critical components, and improve process consistency with precision-engineered wave solder tooling from Pentagon EMS. Designed for both traditional and lead-free manufacturing environments, our wave solder pallets and fixtures enhance throughput, reduce defects, and deliver the repeatable results required for high-reliability electronics production.
Achieve accurate, repeatable connector insertion while protecting both the PCB and connector assembly with precision-engineered press-fit tooling from Pentagon EMS. Designed to withstand high insertion forces and maintain precise alignment, our tooling solutions help reduce setup time, improve throughput, and deliver reliable assembly performance—often at a significantly lower cost and lead time than OEM-supplied alternatives.
Secure boards and components with confidence using precision-engineered PCB and Component Holddowns. Designed to provide consistent retention throughout the assembly process, these solutions prevent movement, maintain alignment, and protect assemblies during screen printing, placement, reflow, wave soldering, inspection, and testing.
Available in a wide range of standard configurations, our spring-loaded holddowns apply consistent, controlled force while accommodating various board sizes, component heights, and manufacturing requirements. Custom designs are also available for specialized applications.
Whether improving process stability, increasing repeatability, or solving challenging retention issues, our holddown solutions deliver reliable performance across demanding electronics manufacturing environments.
Improve coating accuracy, eliminate labor-intensive masking, and streamline production with custom conformal coating tooling from Pentagon EMS. Designed to protect critical components and keep coating precisely where it belongs, our fixtures enable faster processing, easier handling, and more consistent results across every assembly.
By supporting multiple boards simultaneously and minimizing fixture-to-board contact, Pentagon EMS conformal coating tooling helps increase throughput, reduce operator variability, and deliver a more reliable coating process.
Every PCB assembly operation presents unique manufacturing challenges. Pentagon EMS designs and manufactures custom tooling solutions that improve accuracy, repeatability, throughput, and operator efficiency across the production floor. From inspection and testing to rework, cleaning, soldering, and final assembly, our engineering team develops purpose-built fixtures that streamline processes, reduce variability, and support consistent product quality.
