Dual-Vision System for Broad Component Compatibility
The MC410 combines two intelligent vision systems to deliver accurate, high-speed placement across an exceptionally wide range of SMD components—from ultra-miniature 01005s to large parts up to 100 x 150 mm. Smaller and fine-pitch components are aligned using a high-speed, head-mounted Cognex® on-the-fly vision system, while larger devices are processed with a base-mounted upward-looking camera for precise alignment and placement. This dual-camera approach helps optimize both speed and accuracy without compromising flexibility.
- Places components from 01005 up to 100 x 150 mm
- Head-mounted Cognex® vision system for fine-pitch and miniature components
- Upward-looking camera for larger component alignment
- Supports CSPs, µBGAs, and other precision packages
- Non-contact vision alignment improves placement accuracy
- Designed for fast, versatile handling across mixed assemblies
Production Software Designed for Speed and Simplicity
The MC410 runs on the same proven Windows®-based software platform used across the entire MC Series, refined through years of customer-driven development. Flexible programming options—including CAD import, manual teaching, and direct entry—allow operators to create jobs quickly while reducing setup complexity. A built-in virtual PCB simulator verifies placement data before production begins, helping minimize errors and speed up first-board validation.
During operation, the software provides real-time visibility into production performance, including pick camera images, machine status, placement progress, and throughput. Operators can make adjustments directly from the production screen without interrupting workflow, helping maintain uptime and productivity.

Built to Scale from Prototyping to Production
The MC410 is engineered to support both prototype assembly and full production workflows without requiring separate systems or retraining. With placement rates up to 2,500 CPH (IPC-9850), support for up to 84 feeder slots, and precision mechanical components such as X-Y ballscrews and Smart Feeders, the system delivers reliable performance for growing production demands. Intelligent software optimization automatically improves feeder placement and assembly sequencing to maximize throughput.
Because the MC410 shares the same software environment, feeders, and operational structure as all MC-Series machines, scaling production is straightforward. Programs transfer seamlessly between systems, feeders remain interchangeable, and operators can continue working within the same familiar interface.

Integrated Smart Feeder Management for Reliable Production
Every MC Series pick and place machine includes fully integrated smart feeder software designed to simplify setup, improve traceability, and reduce production errors. Each smart feeder communicates directly with the machine through a DB-9 interface, allowing feeder data and component information to sync automatically with the assembly program.
Built-in feeder memory stores essential production data such as feeder ID, assigned slot, component type, lot and date codes, starting quantities, and indexing parameters. Optional barcode scanning further accelerates setup by importing reel information automatically, reducing manual entry and helping ensure the correct components are loaded before production begins.
- Integrated smart feeder software included with all MC Series machines
- DB-9 interface enables direct feeder-to-machine communication
- Stores feeder ID, slot assignment, lot codes, quantities, and component data

KFTA3D Smart Feeders with Integrated OLED Display
The KFTA3D Series smart feeder features a built-in OLED display and onboard memory that provide instant access to critical component information directly at the feeder. Operators can quickly verify reel quantities, feeder slot locations, part numbers, and component values whether the feeder is connected to the machine or offline.
By moving key production data directly to the point of use, the feeder helps reduce setup mistakes, improve visibility during changeovers, and simplify component tracking throughout production. An internal battery preserves stored data even when disconnected, supporting flexible off-line preparation and staging.
- Integrated OLED display for real-time feeder information
- Displays reel quantity, slot location, part number, and component value
- Internal memory and battery retain data while offline

Smart Feeder Software for Faster Setup and Changeover
Manncorp’s smart feeder software is included standard with all MC Series machines and is designed to simplify production setup, feeder verification, and inventory tracking. The system automatically monitors component usage during production and stores remaining quantities directly within each feeder’s onboard memory.
When feeders are reloaded for future jobs, the software automatically recognizes the feeder and restores the stored quantity information without requiring manual recalibration. Additional features such as feeder position verification, automatic slot scanning, and optional barcode integration help accelerate changeovers while reducing setup errors.
- Automatic component quantity tracking during production

Automatic Index Adjustment for Accurate Component Pickup
MC Series machines use automatic index adjustment with vision-based alignment to maintain accurate component pickup when reels are loaded or replaced. The system detects slight tape pocket offsets and automatically advances or reverses feeder positioning to correct alignment before placement begins.
For reels with wider manufacturing tolerances, the machine can verify alignment during every pickup cycle to help prevent recurring pickup and placement errors. This automatic correction process improves consistency while reducing downtime caused by tape misalignment issues.
- Automatic tape index correction using vision alignment
- Detects and compensates for reel pocket offset variations
- Automatically advances or reverses feeder position as needed
- Improves pickup accuracy after reel changes
- Optional verification on every pickup cycle for loose-tolerance reels
- Helps prevent recurring placement and pickup errors
