The AOM-700 pick-and-place work cell is said to be capable of picking odd-form components, connectors or a variety of other parts from a tube- or bowl-style feeder. Places each component onto a PCB, offers fully programmable x, y and z motion with inline conveyor, positive PCB location/clamping, and programmable picking head selection. Rotating head permits selection of the gripper position to be used for assembly.
PRO 6 series robotic soldering system reportedly provides multiple technologies built into a single work cell. The PRO 6Td is a dual-head soldering robot that may be configured with both iron tip and diode laser soldering heads. May be independently controlled for progressive assembly or used in sequence for high output.
The soldering head and automatic solder feeder are said to be dynamically independent and adjustable from one another. May be programmed to look for known fiducial points, analyze them and automatically center for a reported 100% pinpoint accuracy.
IS620 laminate now comes with enhanced electrical attributes. Reportedly offers 25% lower dielectric loss and improved thermal performance. Dielectric loss at 10 GHz are said to be in the 0.007 range using the stripline test method and in the 0.005 range with the split post method. Isola, www.isola-group.com
