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.

Precision, Flexibility and Ease of Use. A Benchtop Pick and Place for Startups and Low-to-medium-volume Assemblers

New FVX™ Bench Top SMT Pick and Place from Manncorp to be featured at Booth #620 at the SMTAI

From Manncorp

The FVX represents a radical change in bench top pick and place technology that is certain to change the industry’s perception of both the performance capability and reliability of this class of equipment. The FVX is an innovative and fully integrated hardware and software solution designed for increased precision, highly repeatable placement, improved ease-of-use, and low maintenance, all at a level of affordability unprecedented in the low- to medium-volume pick and place market.

With the FVX, high-tech entrepreneurial startups, military subcontractors, universities, independent labs and job-shops, assembling small quantities of very focused, application-specific products, can now easily and reliably place the most difficult SMDs — from small 0201 chip components through large BGAs or high pin-count QFPs with 0.4 mm lead pitch. Key to the FVX performance is an alignment intelligence algorithm that quickly and accurately examines a picture of any surface mount part and identifies its placement center without the need for complex setup parameters or reference images.

What’s more, the FVX includes a wide variety of feeder and component presentation options that are specifically designed for users building prototype or pilot production quantities of product, subject to multiple manufacturing revs, short timetables and tight budgets, with low inventories of components and no margin for error or waste. Manncorp’s exclusive Auto-Indexing Cut Strip Tape Feeders accept varying lengths of tape cut from full reels of SMDs, eliminating kitting and handling problems associated with low-usage components. Conventional automatic tape & reel feeders for high-usage components are also available, along with vibratory stick feeders, grid-tray holders, and other low-cost component presentation schemes.

The standard FVX Bench Top Pick and Place System package includes the main frame with FVX controller board, head-mounted and base-mounted vision cameras, pick-up tool changer, sliding PCB holder for 390 x 310 mm boards, 27-lane automatic tape feeder base, 30-lane cut strip feeder base, waffle tray holder, and FVX Alignment Intelligence and Control software — all for just $29,995. Because the compact FVX controller incorporates modular motor driver boards, vision intelligence, and integrated video switching on a single mother board, the FVX can be operated via USB connection from any dual-core PC or notebook running Windows™ XP or later.

Production-Ready MC-400 Pick and Place from Manncorp Brings Affordability In-House

From Manncorp

Manncorp MC400 Benchtop Pick and Place Machine.

Bring prototyping, short run and low volume printed circuit board assembly jobs—even those requiring considerable placement accuracy and precision—in-house with the new MC400 benchtop pick and place machine from Manncorp. Also suited to design houses and contract manufacturers who are looking to offer first article approval and small batch production to their customers, MC400 benchtop pick and place machine offers the quality build and features of Manncorp’s full-sized MC-series machines at a more affordable price point.

A combination of on-the-fly and stationary Cognex®-based alignment systems ensure accurate placement of 0201s through 100 x 150 mm SMDs, including BGAs, CSPs, flip chips, QFPs, odd-form components, and ultra-fine-pitch parts to 15 mil.

With the MC-400’s AC servo motion control and linear encoders, placement rates of 2,500 cph (IPC 9850) can be reached with ±0.05 mm placement accuracy and ±0.01 mm repeatability.

Components can be picked from tape reel, cut strip tapes, sticks and waffle trays. Nine possible feeder configurations can be viewed on the product’s web page at www.manncorp.com/pick-and-place/mc400/ MC-400’s time-saving, error-proofing Smart Feeders are interchangeable with all other MC-series pick & place machines.

MC400 benchtop pick and place machine uses the full MC-series software, with expandable component library, universal CAD data import, teach-in programming, and Virtual PCB Simulation for program verification. Programs are portable between MC-series machines, allowing manufacturers to move from prototyping to high-volume production without reprogramming.

Remote service and support are included, along with a two-year parts warranty. Installation and onsite-training, provided by Manncorp’s own technicians, most of whom have been with the company for over a decade, are available to get the MC-400 up and running for your specific needs as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Pricing, specifications and full details on the MC400 SMT pick & place machine from Manncorp are available at www.manncorp.com/pick-and-place/mc400/.

Manncorp 7722 Bench-Top Pick and Place Machine Customer Reviews

Posted by Manncorp

ADAFRUIT, New York, NY – Phillip Torrone and Limor Fried
We spent months researching the best pick and place machines and companies, and we're thrilled with Manncorp. With the 7722 we will be able to grow our business and offer more products to more customers. From its compact size to its bottom vision, this is an ideal machine for our company which makes educational electronic kits.

ONE SAIL HK LIMITED, China – Peter Sorensen, Director
Thanks to our recently acquired 7722 Pick & Place, we are now able to offer better quality and quick-turn production. That's why Manncorp, with its superior service and wide range of products, is our prime SMT equipment source. In fact, we're now also planning the purchase of a reflow oven and selective soldering system from them.

MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY, Chandler, AZ – Steve Melby, Sr. Engineer
We researched pick & place machines that would be flexible enough to accommodate our prototype, one-off requests in addition to requests for standard products. It was very difficult to find a solution as there are not many options in the market meeting these criteria. I traveled to 3 companies to view demos of their products but only one stood out as a solution for my specific need. Manncorp 7722 was the answer. We couldn't be happier.
