MCLEDV6 LED Pick & Place

MCLEDV6 LED Pick & Place

MCLEDV6 LED Pick & Place

Assemble LED lighting products—such as long tube boards and flexible strips—at rates up to 30,000 LEDs per hour with the MCLEDV6, a high-speed, dedicated LED placer designed for large-batch production. Featuring a maximum board length of 47.2" (1200 mm), the MCLEDV6 is built for both speed and precision, using advanced optical centering and on-the-fly full vision alignment. Its image processing system captures and aligns components while in motion over a stationary camera, ensuring fast, highly accurate LED placement every cycle.

High-Speed, High-Efficiency Design

The 6-head MCLEDV6 delivers exceptional throughput with a high-speed linear drive gantry that performs simultaneous multi-part pick-up, achieving placement rates of up to 30,000 LEDs per hour (per IPC-9850). Its true fly-over alignment system, featuring an upward-looking camera positioned between the feeder base and the PCB, accurately aligns components while the placement head is in motion. This maximizes efficiency without sacrificing precision. Built-in software further enhances performance by optimizing feeder locations before placement begins, minimizing head travel and reducing tool changeovers.

Purpose-Built for LED Assembly

The MCLEDV6 is engineered specifically for LED production, not adapted from general-purpose pick and palce machines, ensuring optimal performance for LED board assembly. It supports a wide range of LED components, from 0402 packages to larger 20 mm x 18 mm LEDs, including both standard and irregular shapes, as well as small connectors and resistors.

Each of the six placement heads is equipped with positive air pressure to reliably release adhesive-prone LED components. To further ensure smooth operation, non-stick, Teflon®-coated nozzles are available, including custom designs tailored to specific LED geometries. Specialized nozzles for rounded LEDs are designed to avoid contact with the optical lens during pick-up, preserving the integraity and performance of sensitive components.

Versatile Solutions for All LED Lighting Products

The MCLEDV6 is designed to handle a wide range of LED lighting applications, including flexible PCB strips, circular bulb boards, and irregularly shaped panels, all with speed, accuracy, and reliability. Every model assembles the full length of the board in a single pass, maximizing throughput and production efficiency. The MCLEDV6 comes standard with a worktable and magnetic board fixture but can also be configured at the time of purchase with a SMEMA-compatible inline conveyor for fully automated operation.

Streamlined Software for Smarter LED Production

The MCLEDV6 comes equipped with powerful, easy-to-use software designed to simplify and accelerate LED production. Programming is fast and intuitive using a simple three-point selection of LEDs, the software automatically calculates all remaining LED positions across the board. The included UCAD® universal CAD import and conversion utility further streamlines setup, while the feeder arrangement optimizer minimizes head travel and tool changes for maximum throughput. Real-time production monitoring provides a virtual view of the assembly process, showing placement rates, cycle times, and production counts at a glance. Full traceability of all production data ensures reliable performance and accountability from start to finish.

Continuous Production Without Downtime

The MCLEDV6 is engineered for nonstop, high-efficiency production. When a feeder runs out of components, the system can automatically switch to a backup feeder loaded with the same part, allowing operators to replenish empty feeders without halting the production process. Up to 16 special servo-driven feeders can be used with the MCLEDV6, each equiooed with brushless motors to ensure extended service life even in 24/7 production environments. These feeders also support tape splicing, enabling seamless transitions from depleted reels to new ones and minimizing interruptions for maximum throughput.
