Assembléon expanded its M-Series pick-and-place machines with the MG-8, extending its capability to deliver standalone or multi-machine line solutions to high-end, mid-volume manufacturers.
With the same look and feel as the MG-1, MG-8 is equipped with three servo-controlled FNC (flying nozzle change) heads, each carrying six nozzles, and a new area CCD camera. Component range extends from 01005 to 55 mm sq. fine-pitch to oddforms with height up to 25.5 mm. Precision z-force control delivers snap-in force for connectors and handling of 01005s.
Achieves accuracy ratings of 50 microns for chips and 30 microns for QFPs, placement speed for ICs and QFPs is 8.4k cph. Has twin board support system with double, independent push-up units.
Accommodates 90 smart feeders along with stick, bulk and tray feeding solutions. The feeders are equipped with RFID technology to simplify machine set-up and provide real-time component inventory management. Feeder trolleys can be set up and verified off-line for fast changeover. A large component sequencer contains 60 pallets, with two in-line loading heads doubling the rate of delivery of components to the machine. An automatic tray stacker holds up to 30 trays in quick-change containers.
Coplanarity system checks three components simultaneously; a side viewing camera option verifies 01005 or 0201 presence at the nozzle while the heads fly over the line array camera for component recognition. A nozzle cleaning system prevents nozzle contamination for improved quality and reduced maintenance.
