Answering
growing demand for equipment dedicated to LED assembly, manncorp.com
now includes LED-capable pick-and-place systems, one of which can also
serve as a mid-range placer for today’s surface mount components.
According
to CEO Henry Mann, system MC-388LED is ideally suited for LED panel
assembly of up to 1.2m (47.25”) in a single pass. With a 192 tape feeder
capacity, it will also perform pick-and-place for larger back-plane
boards requiring multi-feeders. Cognex-based “on-the-fly” alignment
mounts any SMD from 0.4 to 0.2mm to 16mm x 14mm, including flip-chips,
CSPs and µBGAs. Upward-looking Cognex vision allows placement of larger
components up to 150mm x 100mm, BGAs, QFPs and connectors.
The
machine features ball-screw X-Y drive, closed-loop servo control with
linear encoding and full Cognex vision for a placement accuracy of 30
µm, 3 sigma. It is available with two or four heads, achieving placement
speeds from 6,500 to 10,000 CPH. Waffle trays and stick feeders may
also be accommodated in its massive placement area of 408 mm x 1200 mm
(16” x 47.25”). Conveyors for special applications are also available.
Of
particular importance to LED assemblers is the availability of a wide
variety of standard and custom pick-up tools, including non-stick Teflon
types that impart positive output pressure upon component placement.
