Essemtec Introduces FLX-CVU Measurement Option

Written by Chelsey Drysdale
Tuesday, 13 May 2008
FLX-CVU comes as an option for the FXL2011 placement machine and verifies component electrical characteristics. Reportedly prevents setup flaws and wrong placement actions as a result of labeling and packing errors, localizes divergences in component reels, and eliminates placement of out-of-spec parts. Measurement values are stored in a database and permit traceability to single parts. Measurement unit is directly integrated into machine; contacts are designed so that components with different outlines and form factors can be tested. Complex adjustments, setup and calibration of test contacts or hooks are said to be unnecessary. The contacting unit is linked to a universal instrument that measures resistance, capacitance and inductance. Measurement takes place immediately after picking from the feeder.
