Automation
Highlights
- At a cycle time of approximately 20 seconds per PCB side, a capacity of about 1.5 PCBs per minute is possible.
- Automatic gripper adjustment for different PCB formats.
- “The placement position on the LDI/AOI table can be configured by +/- 90° and/or 180° (potential cycle time savings for the process machine)
- Order data capture via DMC on the circuit board or through a job list.
- Use of intermediate layers.
- Alarm history
- Event history
Description
In a very compact design, the printed circuit boards are fed inline from angled cassettes or horizontal boxes via an alignment table with an integrated cleaning device to the table of the process machine. Loading onto the alignment station is done by a 3-axis robot, while the transfer to the process machine is carried out by a 6-axis robot. The flipping of the PCB is achieved by transferring it directly from the 6-axis robot to the 3-axis robot after processing the first side.
When using angled cassettes or horizontal boxes, all A-sides are processed first, followed by all B-sides, so that the PCBs are unloaded back into the same cassette or box and in the same order in which they were loaded into the process. The use of intermediate layers is optionally possible.
