Assembly head features optical centering system that can align SMD components, LEDs and metal domes, permitting flexible circuit production all on one system. Foils are held in position by a vacuum table. Working area is 500 x 300 mm; support area is 800 x 300 mm. Smaller foils can be clustered and be produced like a single foil. Integrated vision system automatically finds reference marks and corrects offset and distortion.
