Pick-and-place system runs at the double
The Assembleon AX-201 pick-and-place system has two trolleys and dual heads, allowing both fine-pitch/odd form electronic components and chips/ICs to be placed on PCBs extremely accurately.
The Assembleon AX-201 pick-and-place system from Kaisertech has two trolleys and also dual heads, allowing both fine-pitch/odd form electronic components and chips/ICs to be placed on PCBs extremely accurately Apart from operating independently it can also be configured together with either the AX-301 or AX-501 modules to boost production, or operated, for example as a prototyping solution or for short production runs

Ionisation systems keep cleanrooms clean
Designed for manufacturing areas, the range of Simco overhead air ionisation systems from Kaisertech complements bench-level units in eliminating harmful electrostatic discharges.
Even 01005 components can be placed between the leads of a QFP at full speed.
It is said to deliver more output for a lower investment, is completely self-calibrating, and offers more feeder positions with a wider variety of components for increased production line flexibility.
Interchangeable robot heads make it easy to scale production output in 7500 component-per-hour steps without rebuilding or recalibration.
The AX-201 will handle up to 18,000 components per hour with a placement accuracy of 20um.
Component range is 0.4 x 0.2 to 45 x 45mm and 66 x 2 to 165 x 2mm for odd form, and maximum component height is 40mm.
Board sizes up to 515 x 457mm and 0.3 to 6mm thick can be accommodated.
Easy and flexible product changeover is provided by offline feeder setup and offline placement program creation, enabling reconfiguration to be achieved in just minutes.
Through Kaisertech, Assembleon engineers can help customers to optimise line output and yield, minimise process changeover times, improve the production line's ramp-up, and continually manage machine operational costs.
Furthermore, a remote "Lifesupport" service provides continuous monitoring of a line to maximise first pass yields and guarantee performance to predefined levels.
It also helps reduce maintenance costs and gives early warning for parts replacement and component replenishment. Request a free brochure from Kaisertech ...
