Details
- High-speed, high-efficiency design
-
The four pick-and-place heads mounted on the MC-LEDV4's high precision, ball-screw-driven gantry perform simultaneous
pick-up to achieve rates to 15,000 LEDs per hour (per IPC-9850 standard). True "vision on the fly" alignment, with
upward-looking cameras located on the placement heads, aligns components while the head is in motion, saving time over
fixed-camera systems where the component has to brought over the camera for alignment before it can move to the placement area.
Thanks to the included software, feeder locations are also optimized prior to placement to minimize head travel and tool changes.
- Specifically designed for LED assembly
-
Unlike standard pick and place machines that have been adapted to LED assembly, the MC-LEDV4 is purpose built, allowing it to do its one thing—building LED boards—really well.
The MC-LEDV4 places LED components from 0201 to 8 mm x 8 mm, including both standard and irregularly shaped LEDs, with on-the-fly vision.
Each of the MC-LEDV4's four placement heads features positive air pressure to release 'sticky' LED components. Non-stick, Teflon®-coated nozzles—including custom nozzle designs—are also available. Domed LEDs can be safely placed using placement nozzles designed to not come in contact with the optical lens during pick-up and placement, protecting the component's overall light performance and reliability.
- Suitable for all LED lighting products
-
Flexible PCB strips, circular LED light bulb boards and even irregularly shaped boards can also be assembled quickly, accurately and reliably on all models in the MC-LEDV4 series. For long LED tubes, model MC-LEDV-12 features a max board size of 47.3" (1200 mm). (Model MC-LEDV-6 offers a max board size of 23.6" (600 mm).) With all models, the full length of the board is assembled in a single pass for top efficiency and throughput.
MC-LEDV4 comes standard with a worktable and magnetic board fixture or can be configured at time of purchase with a SMEMA-compatible inline conveyor for line automation.
- Software simplifies production
-
Several powerful software tools are included with the MC-LEDV4 system, including the UCAD® universal CAD import and conversion utility to simplify placement programming, a feeder arrangement optimizer to minimize head travel and tool changes, and real-time monitoring of production, which displays a virtual view of the progress of current product under assembly along with placement rate, placement time and production count.
Companies that already have one or more MC series SMT pick and place machines in their facility will find the MC-LEDV4's software interface immediately familiar, which means a zero learning curve when it comes to programming and operating this machine.
- 24/7 workhorse
-
The MC-LEDV4 offers nonstop production. Its ability to automatically switch to a different feeder when an in-use feeder runs out of components allows the operator to refill and replace the empty feeder without taking production offline at all.
MC-LEDV4 holds up to 16 tape feeders. These special servo-driven feeders use brushless motors for longer feeder life under around-the-clock production conditions. With these feeders, it is also possible to splice a new reel onto an old one to minimize production interruption.
