The System
Line 1 - PCB Autoloader
- Custom designed loader and conveyor systems
- Clamping / stable handling of long boards with narrow aspect ratio
- Enhanced dimensional capability; 1,480mm x 410mm maximum processing size for conventional FR4 and metal clad boards
- Optimises speed and throughput whilst maintaining quality
Line 2 – High Speed SMT Placer
- Placement accuracy
- Stable feeding, pick-up and placement of LEDs and associated components
- Multi-placement component heads to enable wide-ranging component handling capability, rapid application of solder pastes and adhesives and high feeder capacity
- Stencil-less solder paste dispensing results in reduced NRE costs and reduces lead time for prototype development
- Capability to place secondary optics
- Laser measurement to control board warp measurement
Line 3 – Reflow Oven
- Includes 2 Lemme Neo 20 – twenty stage reflow ovens
- PID controlled temperature +/- 3 degree tolerance
- 1* BTU – sixteen stage reflow oven
Final Test
- 100% optical and electrical test
- Climactically controlled environment, including dedicated storage and materials handling area
