Essemtec Debuts Production Cell for Flexible PCBs
FLX2010-MK can automate all placement and dispensing tasks in the production of membrane keyboards or other flexible circuits. Two dispensing heads allow the application of glue, conductive glue or solder paste. LEDs and other SMD components are aligned optically for accurate placement. Even metal domes for keys can be placed automatically.
All placement and dispensing tasks can be programmed in any sequence, can place all SMT components from 0201s to QFPs at up to 5,000 cph.
The two available models vary only in the size of the placement range (MK: 500 x 300 mm; MKL: 800 x 600 mm"). The films can be even larger and are fixed on a flat vacuum table. Different size substrates can be combined; product-specific adapter plates can be used for double sided flex circuits - even in the reflow process.
Each dispensing head can be individually lowered and can be used in non-contact metering mode or with a standoff. A variety of feeding systems are available for SMD components supplied in tapes, sticks or trays. Metal domes are supplied as bulk material, taped or in sticks - the feeding system is selected accordingly.
