These three pick-and-place machines offer head-mounted cameras and Cognex processing for non-contact vision placement of 0201 chips to 16 x 14 mm SMDs and fine-pitch QFPs. Include a bottom vision camera for larger components to 38 x 38 mm. Said to have placement accuracy of ± .002" (± .05 mm) by linear-encoded X-Y drive mechanisms. Reportedly have availability of advanced time pressure digital dispensing for application at dot sizes down to 0.015 mm diameter. Use MC-300 Series control software. The MC-384 has a single head and a reported placement area of 14.5" x 13.4" for a capacity of 128 smart tape feeders. Its throughput is 4,000 cph. The MC-391 includes a three-stage conveyor and is said to have a speed of 5,500 cph on a large 14.75" x 23.4" placement area that can accommodate 160 tape feeders. The MC-387 has a 39.4" x 12" work area; can contain 224 smart tape feeders. Placement speed is said to be 5,500 cph.
The PRO 2418 batch process style Laser Marking system has been designed to provide a means to mark a variety of PCBs. Said to handle PCBs up to 18" in width and 24" in length. Features include 40 W CO2 laser, red dot pointer, integrated PC with graphics, text, numeric and barcode software, and see-through laser-compliant glass.
The APR-5000-DZ advanced package rework system uses a dual convection bottom-side heater to enable controlled heating for rework of high thermal demand boards, including lead-free and multi-layer assemblies.
The PCT-100 focused preheater convection tool is said to maximize responsiveness to eliminate the threat of temperature overshoot. Reportedly ideal for use with lead-free and lead-rich solders. Said to deliver a preheat capability to enable manufacturers to perform assembly tasks at the appropriate peak temperatures without distorting the board.
The DX-250 digital dispenser reportedly allows manufacturers quick task setup. The DX-350 is said to dispense precise fluid volume with consistent high accuracy and repeatability.
The upgraded BVX-200 fume extraction system uses brushless motor technology. Is designed to extend operating lifetime, while enhancing performance.
