Circuits Assembly Online Magazine - VJ Electronix to Highlight Summit 1800A Rework Station

Model 1800A adds a motor-controlled board support table to facilitate automated, hands-free site scavenging on the Summit 1800 rework system. Supports automated alignment and reduces operator intervention. Options include component print station, cooling boost, sliding board support, 17" LCD monitor and 22 x 30" board size upgrade.

Has Windows-based SierraMate 7.0 software with Advanced Auto Profile for rules-based process development.

Automatic prism shuttle facilitates accurate and repeatable component alignment. Simultaneously looks up at the component and down at the board, providing a composite alignment view. Digital split image allows the operator to see bumps, leads or pads of large devices at a high magnification with a click on the GUI.

Incorporates independent, programmable motions for pick-up and top heater height. Pick-up motion allows placement force control and zero force removal. Component pick-up tube features 360° Theta control and automatic alignment height. Programmable heater position with automatic height sensing allows the nozzle to gasket the board with minimal force, or to be located at a pre-set gap above the board.

Features standard board handling of 18 x 22", placement accuracy of 0.0005 to 0.001" and magnification capability from 2 to 40X.
