Manncorp to Unveil New Stencil Printer and Vapor Phase System at IPC APEX Expo 2013

Posted by Manncorp

Electronic manufacturing equipment provider Manncorp will be unveiling several all-new products at IPC APEX Expo Booth #118 in San Diego, California, February 19-21. Among the new products will be a compact, touchscreen-controlled vapor phase soldering system designed for the most complex, temperature-sensitive soldering and conductive adhesive curing applications. The batch-style system handles large PCBs and irregularly shaped assemblies up to 500 x 500 mm (20"x 20") and features a unique and highly efficient vapor recovery system for maximum ROI.





A new dual-squeegee semiautomatic programmable stencil printer with dual CCD cameras for vision-assisted alignment will also be introduced. Microprocessor control of print stroke, print speed, squeegee pressure and vertical snap-off speed and distance allow ultrafine-resolution printing for the smallest 01005 and 0201 chip components, fine-pitch QFPs and BGAs. The system features a large 480 x 400 mm (19” x 15.75”) print area and pneumatic stencil frame clamping for quick changeovers.





Also at the show will be the new Sherlock-300F benchtop AOI system, a radical redesign of desktop AOI featuring an iPad®-like multi-touch interface for programming and operation and a drawerless design where the PCB is transported through the machine on a conveyor for faster loading and unloading. Enjoy full defect coverage with low false call rates at an affordable price.





MC-400 automated benchtop pick & place brings a new level of accuracy and reliability to prototyping and low- to medium-volume production. MC-400 places 0201s through 100 x 150 mm components at rates to 3,000 pph with ±0.05 mm (0.002") placement accuracy. Dependable, user-proven software provides fast, simple setup and operation, even for complex surface mount assemblies.





One of Manncorp's popular ULTRA-DRY desiccant dry cabinets, which provide humidity-controlled storage for moisture-sensitive devices (MSDs) to protect against moisture-related defects and costly product failures, will also be available on the APEX show floor.

Decrease Failure Rates and increase Yields with Advanced Sherlock-300F Benchtop AOI System

Posted by Manncorp

Targeting low- to mid-volume electronics assemblers, Sherlock-300F automated optical inspection equipment delivers comprehensive defect coverage, even on densely populated boards with components as small as 01005s. Assemblies are fed via built-in conveyor, minimizing footprint and allowing display to be positioned directly in front of user. All program setup and operation is done on display using multi-touch gestures, and inspection programs are able to be generated from pick and place files in addition to CAD data import.

Manncorp introduces the new Sherlock-300F, a benchtop automated optical inspection (AOI) system that has a radical new design with advanced features to provide comprehensive defect coverage even on densely populated boards with components as small as 01005s.

Sherlock-300F AOI machine eliminates the drawer design typical of benchtop AOI systems. Instead, assemblies are fed into the machine on the built-in conveyor. This minimizes machine footprint and allows the system’s oversized display to be positioned directly in front of the user rather than set back or off to the side.

All program setup and operation is done directly on the display using multi-touch gestures, similar to using an iPad®. Unlike the iPad®, the Sherlock-300F AOI system touchscreen is responsive even through gloves, a requirement for many electronics manufacturing environments.
Inspection programs are able to be generated from pick and place files in addition to CAD data import, simplifying the process for manufacturers who don’t have access to the PCB assembly’s CAD data file.

Geared toward low- to mid-volume electronics assemblers who require close-to-0% failure rates for military, medical and other high-end customers and products, the Sherlock-300F automated optical inspection helps manufacturers decrease their failure rates and move yields from an average of 60-70% to nearly 100%.

Sherlock-300F automated optical inspection machine can be used after stencil printing for 2D solder paste inspection, after placement for component presence, placement and value verification, and after reflow or wave soldering for solder joint and final assembly inspection. Single and double-sided surface mount, through-hole and mixed-technology assemblies are handled equally well. The software automatically adjusts for board warp and flexible substrates, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual corrections.

The Sherlock-300F AOI is priced under $40,000 and for a limited time includes two days of installation and on-site training, free, anywhere in the U.S.A., Canada and Mexico.
