Platform boosts placement density
With a space productivity of 20,000 components per hour per square metre the MC-12 is reckoned to be the most productive pick-and-place machine on the market.
Pick and place machines expand EMS provider
Electronics manufacturing solutions provider Mara Technologies has bought another four Assembleon pick and place machines as a base for its latest expansion.
Innovative features deliver the ideal balance between chip and IC placement speeds for any application.
They include a high precision placement beam carrying eight independent z-axis servo-controlled heads.
A unique side viewing camera system verifies 01005 or 0201 presence at the nozzle while the heads fly over the line array camera for component recognition.
A cost effective coplanarity system measures coplanarity of any leaded component or BGA on-the-fly, with minimal speed penalty.
As a result, the MG-1 achieves chip placement speeds up to 24,000 components per hour and IC speeds up to 10,000 components per hour.
Throughput is further enhanced by a newly developed twin board support system which halves board loading time.
The MG-1 accommodates 96 smart feeders or 160 twin tape feeders, along with stick, bulk and many new tray feeding solutions, including quick-change tray containers for optimal operational flexibility.
The smart feeders are equipped with the latest RFID technology to speed up and simplify machine setup and to provide powerful real-time component inventory management.
At the same time, feeder indicators provide the operator with all essential information regarding feeder status.
Feeder trolleys can be set up and verified off-line for fast changeover in high mix applications.
The MG-1's graphical user interface maximises ease of operation under Windows XP control.
