Taping machines get to grips with coplanarity
Adaptsys can now offer true 3D optical coplanarity inspection for V-Tek taping machines.
The TM-4450 supports devices fed from either a tube or a bowl, and offers a wide range of features to maximise reliability.
The system offers placement speeds of up to 4500 units per hour, depending on the device type.
The TM-4450 is specifically designed for environments that demand quick changeover and reliable setup.
The universal tube feeder and universal adjustable heat and PSA sealer combine to allow the component being taped to be changed with minimal downtime, making the system ideal for applications where there is a high mix and medium volumes.
By providing enhanced tape advance motion, with a customised ramp-up and ramp-down profile, the TM-4450 ensures smooth tape advance, preventing the risk of a "popcorn" effect.
The dual-stage sealer uses a very short and soft stroke that will not impact the parts in pocket and proper device placement in pocket is guaranteed by enhanced control of the tape positioning.
The TM-4450 supports the rotation of components by +/-90 or 180 degrees, and handles tape widths from 8 to 72mm.
Empty pocket detection and jam-in-track sensors are provided as standard, ensuring errors are detected before the tape is taken from the machine.
The touch-screen operator interface allows intuitive control over job setup.
In-feeder optical inspection for mark, orientation and implied coplanarity and reject into tube for parts in 12-44mm carrier tape are available as options.
For customers with special requirement, the Adaptsys "white glove" service is available to develop solutions that meet their specific needs.
V-Tek has 20 years experience of developing systems for automatic handling of small devices, and offers a comprehensive range of pick solutions (nozzles), as well as a choice of place solutions, which offer a combination of placement height, vacuum level and blowoff level.
