A system provides support for the underside of a planar object, such as a printed circuit board. The system includes a flexible loop having an outer face from which support elements protrude. A guide positions the flexible loop to align the support elements with one or more selected locations on the underside of the object. The system can also include a device for moving the guide toward or away from the object as desired. A tensioning element can be provided that is responsive to displacement of the guide to maintain a substantially constant tension on the loop.
