Dispensers do not splash liquids about
Anti-splash solvent dispensers are intended to manually dispense alcohol, acetone, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, thinners and any other liquids used electronic manufacturing and repair work.
They design and manufacture products for the Medical, Broadcast, Military, Aerospace, Communication and Automotive industries.
The Assembleon equipment joins five other lines at G and B, and the company intend to replace their older machines with further Assembleon systems in due course.
Currently the new line is used on boards being made for Solid State Logic's audio consoles.
David Carroway, G and B Electronics' sales manager, said that one of the key factors influencing the selection of Assembleon equipment was the flexibility and expandability of the system and its off-line programming capability, which saves time and reduces down time.
Assembleon technicians commissioned the system and provided on-site training for operating staff, leading Mr Carroway to comment that it is one of the best companies he has dealt with during more than 20 years in the electronics industry.
The Opal-XII will place up to 11.6k components per hour (expandable to 17.7 k cph) with 40-micron accuracy (QFPs).
It handles components from 01005 to large connectors (45mm x 100mm), fine-pitch QFP, BGA, uBGA and CSP packages, and components up to 11mm tall.
It holds up to 100 RFID-enabled smart feeders including stick and bulk parts.
The high-precision single-placement beam carries four or eight independent standard heads (SF).
At G and B it has 8 heads and is placing down to 0604 at 11,000cph The MG-1 placement system will handle boards from 50mm x 50mm to 460mm x 440mm and 0.4mm to 4mm thick.
Placement capabilities range from 01005 and fine-pitch QFPs to tall components and odd form parts.
Here it handles 15 boards per hour and is also placing 11000cph.
It can accommodate up to 96 smart feeders, or 160 twin tape feeders, along with stick, bulk and many new tray feeding solutions, holding up to 60 trays in quick change magazines. Request a free brochure from Kaisertech ...
