Manncorp's MC-LEDV4 pick and place machine for dedicated LED assembly

As the benefits of LED lighting technology and its countless applications propel its rapid expansion into a growing number of industries, new products using arrays of LED components appear almost daily. Accordingly, the demand for LED-specific component placement equipment is becoming more widespread and is no longer viewed as something reserved only for offshore manufacturers.

Manncorp's MC-LEDV4 series of LED pick and place machines are specially designed to place surface-mounted LED components using four pick-and-place heads and 'on-the-fly' vision for fast, accurate alignment. With a high-precision, ball-screw-driven gantry providing multiple, simultaneous pickups, MC-LEDV4 machines are capable of placement rates up to 15,000 LEDs per hour (IPC-9850).

Unlike SMT pick-and-place equipment that has merely been adapted for LED assembly, the MC-LEDV4 series is exclusively designed to be the ideal solution for long LED tubes, flexible strips, and panelized LED boards. Three models are available for either 600 mm (24"), 1200 mm (47"), or 1800 mm (71") substrates. All models can be purchased as stand-alone or inline systems.
The machines place both standard and domed LEDs from 0.6 x 0.3 mm to 8 x 8 mm, with Teflon®-coated nozzles and positive air pressure actuation to prevent component sticking. Component range can be expanded to 20 x 20 mm with a bottom vision option.
MC-LEDV4 series tape feeders have also been designed specifically for high-volume LED assembly. Brushless servo-driven tape feeder motors ensure years of reliable service, even through 24/7 production. The ability to automatically switch to a different pickup location when a feeder runs empty allows the MC-LEDV4 to run continuously, shift after shift.
The MC-LEDV4 is backed by a 2-year warranty and supported by Manncorp's experienced technical team. For details, pricing, and a 2-minute video, visit http://www.manncorp.com/smt/prod-638/pick-and-place-led-mc-ledv4-12.html?tabshow=2.

New High-speed Pick & Place Machine for Nonstop Production of LED Boards

Posted by Manncorp

Manncorp introduces the MC-LEDV3, a new high-speed pick and place machine built to assemble LED tube lights, flexible LED strips and LED bulb boards. The MC-LEDV3 features three pick-and-place heads mounted on a high-precision, ball-screw-driven gantry. Simultaneous pickup, on-the-fly (vision based) component alignment, and feeder placement optimization combine to achieve placement rates of up to 10,000 LEDs per hour, per IPC-9850.

Unlike SMT pick and place machines that have been adapted for LED assembly, MC-LEDV3 is specifically designed for LED boards. Whether configured with a magnetic fixture worktable or an inline conveyor, MC-LEDV3 accommodates flexible strips, circular boards for LED bulbs, and long LED tube boards up to 70" (1800 mm) long. The machine places both standard and domed LEDs from 1 x 0.5 mm to 8 x 8 mm, with positive air pressure and Teflon®-coated nozzles ensuring the release of "sticky" components.

The feeders available for the MC-LEDV3 have also been designed specifically for LED assembly. Brushless motors ensure long life even through 24/7 production. The ability to splice tapes and to have the machine automatically switch to a different feeder when one runs empty means that the MC-LEDV3 can run nearly nonstop, producing LED boards shift after shift.

MC-LEDV3 LED pick and place machine is backed by a 2-year warranty and supported by Manncorp's experienced technical team. See details and pricing.

MC-LEDV3 High-Speed Dedicated LED Pick & Place Machine

Posted by Manncorp

Assemble LED tubes, flexible LED strips and circular LED light bulb boards at rates reaching 10,000 LEDs per hour with the new high-speed, dedicated MC-LEDV3 SMT placement equipment.

High-speed, high-efficiency design The three pick-and-place heads mounted on the MC-LEDV3's high precision, ball-screw-driven gantry perform simultaneous pick-up to achieve rates to 10,000 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 Unlike standard pick and place machines that have been adapted to LED assembly, the MC-LEDV3 LED pick and place machine is purpose-built, allowing it to do its one thing—building LED boards—really well, starting with the types of boards it can handle. Whether the machine is purchased with the worktable and magnetic board fixture or an inline conveyor, the MC-LEDV3 can assemble long LED boards, such as those used for tube lights, up to 47.2" (1200 mm) in a single pass. (For jobs that need even more length, the system can also be purchased with a max board length of 70.9" (1800 mm).) Flexible PCBs, circular boards for LED light bulbs and even irregularly shaped boards can also be assembled, quickly, accurately and reliably. Each of the MC-LEDV3's three placement heads features positive air pressure to release 'sticky' LED components. Non-stick, Teflon®-coated nozzles—including custom nozzle designs—are also available. The MC-LEDV3 places LED components from 0402 to 0505 (max LED size is 8 mm x 8 mm x 8 mm), including both standard and irregularly shaped LEDs. 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.

24/7 workhorse The MC-LEDV3 pick and place 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-LEDV3 holds up to 16 tape feeders. These special 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.

Software simplifies production Several powerful software tools are included with the MC-LEDV3 SMT pick and place machine, 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-LEDV3's software interface immediately familiar, which means a zero learning curve when it comes to programming and operating this machine.
