MC-388 pick and place

Features

    Speed, Accuracy and Precision
  • 30 µm, 3 Sigma placement accuracy thanks to high-precision ball screw X-Y drive and closed-loop servo control system
  • Heavy-duty welded, uni-body steel frame provides stability for precision placements even at high speeds
  • Four heads for placement rates to 10,500 parts per hour (8,000 pph, IPC-9850)
  • Two-head configuration available, with placement speeds to 6,400 pph
    Huge Placement Area
  • Large placement area of 408 mm x 1200 mm (16" x 48") allows plenty of room for waffle trays
  • 3-stage, single-lane SMEMA-compatible conveyor with automatic width adjustment allows machine to be used inline or connected to board loader/unloader for work cell operation
  • Adapter for extra-large LED boards (to 408 mm x 1200 mm/16" x 48") included
  • Can alternately be configured with a single-stage or dual-stage conveyor, a dual-lane conveyor, or no conveyor at all (batch/standalone operation).
  • Dual stage conveyor handles PCBs to 1500 mm long.
    Huge Component Range
  • Dual vision alignment combines on-the-fly with bottom stationary systems for fast, efficient placement of 0201s through 100 x 150 mm SMDs
  • 01005 placement capability available as option
  • Full ball inspection and missing ball detection, with nonstandard ball patterns programmable and inspectable
  • 15-position automatic tool holder/changer
    Feeder Capacity and Flexibility
  • Total feeder capacity: 192 ports w/inline conveyor; 256 w/batch configuration
  • With inline conveyor, MC-388 holds four 48-port feeder racks
  • Batch configuration allows two 32-port feeder racks to be added
  • Feeder racks accommodate a mix of tape feeders and IC tube/stick feeders
  • Waffle trays and cut strip feeder holders can be used in placement area (one waffle tray included with machine)
    Easy Programming & Operation
  • UCAD® universal CAD import and conversion for direct transfer of PCB data from ASCII, AutoCAD and Excel data formats
  • Teaching/fiducial recognition camera
  • Virtual PCB Simulator offers assembly preview for component, coordinates and orientation verification prior to running production
  • Smart tape and IC tube/stick feeders for fast set-up and changeover and feeder placement optimization
    Additonal Touches
  • Computer controller with flat-screen LCD display, keyboard and mouse included
  • Included vision inspection capability allows camera to be used to selectively check solder paste printing or component placement accuracy
  • Optional bar code reader scans component value, lot code, date and component quanities directly from component packaging for inventory management
  • Optional offline Smart feeder programmer allows Smart tape and stick feeders to be programmed offline while the machine runs other jobs
  • Optional temperature-controlled ATP digital dispensing system for solder paste and adhesive dispensing
    Fully Supported by Manncorp
  • 2-year parts warranty

MC-400 automatic pick place machine
Manncorp's new MC-400 which is specially designed for startups, product development labs, and contract manufacturers that need to build prototypes or short runs in-house, with high-precision and quick turn-around times. The MC-400 can also be viewed as a long-term investment in pick and place capability for when volumes increase, as feeders, software, and accessories are fully compatible with the other members of the MC family
Built upon the same architecture as Manncorp’s popular MC Series of SMT pick and place machines, the new MC-400 is specially designed for startups, product development labs, and contract manufacturers that need to build prototypes or short runs in-house, with high-precision and quick turn-around times. The MC-400 pick place machine can also be viewed as a long-term investment in pick and place capability for when volumes increase, as feeders, software, and accessories are fully compatible with the other members of the MC family.

Utilizing both flying and bottom vision, the MC-400 aligns and places 0201 chips, BGAs, CSPs, and 15 mil fine-pitch QFPs with ±0.05 mm placement accuracy at speeds up to 3000 cph (2500 IPC-9850). Key to the MC-400’s exceptional precision are its rugged, heavy-duty construction, for which the MC Series is well known, and closed-loop, servo-driven, X, Y, Z, and theta axes, complemented by high-resolution digital encoders.

Even at its full capacity for 64 individual smart tape or stick feeders, the MC-400 maintains a maximum placement area of 415 mm x 320 mm (16.3" x 12.5"). A wide variety of feeder options are also available for waffle trays, cut strips of tape, and other components used in small quantities, and a semi-automatic mode even allows pick-up and placement from loose component feeders.

Windows®-based software features programming via CAD data import or dual teaching cameras, and virtual PCB simulation for program verification. A vast library of component and vision data includes all common package types and sizes, and links to smart feeder data and optimization tools for easy setup and inventory control. Patterns of dots or lines for solder paste or adhesive are also linked to the component library for use with an optional dispensing head. As the need for greater throughput increases, valuable program data is directly transportable to all other MC Series equipment.

With the addition of the MC-400, Manncorp’s MC Series, with hundreds of systems in operation worldwide, now spans the full range of SMT placement equipment capability—from entry-level to high-speed systems over 10,000 CPH. All MC Series systems include remote diagnostics and tech support, along with a two-year limited warranty. On-site installation and training are also available.
