The Future Development Direction of the Pick and Place Machine

1.Double track structure

The efficient two-way conveying structure of the SMT pick and place machine is developed to improve production efficiency; on the basis of retaining the performance of the traditional single-way pick and place machine, the PCB transportation, positioning, inspection, repair, etc. are designed into a two-way structure, and the PCB is assembled. The gradual increase also creates a pick and place machine to cope with the increase in size to reduce the effective working time and improve machine productivity.

2.High speed, high precision, multi-function

The new pick and place machine has been striving to develop towards high speed and high performance, and has done well in the direction of high precision and multi-function. With the continuous development of surface mount components, the requirements for new packages such as BGA, FC, CSP, etc. are getting higher and higher. Smart controls have been introduced in the new pick and place machines, which have a lower error rate while maintaining high production capacity, which not only improves the efficiency of IC mounting, but also ensures higher precision.

3. Multiple cantilevers, multiple mounting heads, and multiple feeding stations

The number of mounting heads and the number of feeding stations are increasing compared to before, and the types of surface mount components are relatively increasing. For this reason, the future development direction of pick and place machines? For the development of the combination of multi-cantilever machine tools and turret machine tools

4.Modular

The module machine has different functions. According to the installation requirements of different components, it can achieve higher efficiency according to different precision and mounting efficiency. When the order increases, new functional module machines can be added as needed. To meet the flexible production needs in the future, the modular structure of this machine is very popular among customers.

5. Automatic programming

The new visualization software tool has an automatic "learning" ability. Instead of manually entering parameters into the system, engineers only need to bring the device to the vision camera, then take a picture, and the system will automatically generate a comprehensive CAD-like description. This technology improves the accuracy of equipment descriptions and reduces many operator errors.

6. Development direction of accessories

The pick and place machine is equipped with a dust removal and static removal device, a maintenance-free Feeder with a static removal and automatic feeding function, a nozzle exchange station carrying a suction nozzle automatic cleaning device, a vacuum suction device for the mounting platform, and a closed-loop control of the mounting head and the suction force And digital display, etc.
