Siplace CS and CF placement platforms are specifically for companies with medium volume production requirements and quick job changes.
Optical inspection system reads 2 and 3D at once
The new Siplace OS inline inspection system will be demonstrated on Stand D30 at the Nepcon UK show.
A choice of placement heads - 6-nozzle, 12-nozzle and TwinHead - on each gantry give top flexibility, absolute precision and maximum performance, thereby fulfilling the very high demands imposed by the electronics market of today.
The Siplace HF/3 is equipped with four narrow changeover tables which are automatically pulled in, aligned and connected.
The three changeover tables provide a maximum of 60 feeder positions that can be fitted with up to 180 x 8mm tracks.
Alternatively, two matrix tray changers (MTCs) can be installed for components supplied on trays.
All components are picked up with a constant cycle time, and even refilling the MTC with fresh trays does not interrupt the production flow.
The machine is built on a low-torsion and low-vibration cast steel frame.
The frame is equipped with three gantries made of carbon-fibre composites that weigh one fifth of a comparable steel construction but are twice as rigid.
Together with powerful linear drives for the x-, y- and z-axes, this construction guarantees extremely high precision - up to 30um at 4 sigma with a TwinHead and 55um at 4 sigma with the 6-nozzle or 12-nozzle collect and place heads.
The highly flexible Siplace HF/3 meets the requirements of all application sectors, whether IT, telecomms or automotive.
Like all Siplace modules, the machine can be integrated into any production environment.
