News

CX-1 is capable of placing advanced packages such as SiP, MCM and other mixed-technology applications. Features high-accuracy applications as well as standard SMT. Is built on the base of a standard SMT machine, but with highly accurate glass linear encoders. Special software periodically checks and calibrates to ensure accuracy.

With traditional lines, four machines are necessary; however, here only three systems accomplish the same production levels. Addresses the industry challenge of increasing use of bare die and flip chips mixed with standard SMT (such as cell phones, PDAs, etc.).

Compatible with existing feeders and line control software (HLC). Features HMS II to measure board surface height and flatness and placement flatness and the placement force control.

Comes standard with four placement heads capable of laser/vision centering, with independent x and theta motors, that can handle boards up to 330 x 250 mm and feature a standard 27 mm FOV high-resolution camera.

The system offers two modes -- high accuracy and standard accuracy. High-accuracy features speeds of 1,300 (vision) and 1,600 (laser), and an accuracy of ±20 mm. Standard mode features a speed of
11,000 cph and an accuracy of ±40 mm.
