SMD Component Pick and Place Machine

The unit is a manual pick & place system for the accurate and precise placement of surface mount electronic components onto a PCB circuit board. The machine is packed with convenient features to maximize prototyping and small run throughput, while minimizing operator strain and the occurrence of defects.

Prior to placement of the surface mount components the pads of the circuit board require solder paste to have being applied. Customarily, the Solderpaste is stencil printed using a SMT stencil printer; alternatively there is an optional solderpaste/Glue dispenser available for this machine as an optional extra.

Once components have been placed, the PCB assembly requires ‘reflow’ in an appropriate reflow oven to complete the fabrication cycle.

This unit can accommodate PCB panels of up to 380mm x 295mm (15″ x 11.6″) with a working area of up to 380mm x 250mm (15″ x 9.8″)

The unit is a hand-operated SMT Assembly Manipulator with video, new manual system for the placement of SMT-components. It is a perfect ergonomic station including a lot of functions. Slight arm movement in the X and Y axis allows comfortable selection of components and their accurate placement all over the workpiece.

Place a component with the head on the Z axis.  The components can also easily be rotated through 360°. A HD camera is located near the vacuum pipette and connected to a HD monitor helps the operator, for the accurate placement of fine-pitch components.  There is also a small but powerful light source and vacuum switch integrated into the placement head. The solid reliable construction provides a better grip for the operator with a large working area of 380 x 295mm.
