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.

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. |

Welded Uni-Body Steel Frame Construction for Superior Strength and Stability The Manncorp MC-385 is built upon the same ultra-stable, high-mass system architecture common to all models in Manncorp's MC Series of pick and place machines. A heavy-duty, welded uni-body steel frame construction, that is four to five times heavier than other systems in its price range, provides the rigidity needed to withstand inertial forces generated by the X-Y drive mechanism and dual pick and place heads. This solid base structure is essential for the precision and accuracy needed to place today’s most challenging SMDs at high speeds. |
 |
High-Precision, Direct-Drive, Ballscrew and Linear Encoder Technology The standard MC-385 base system features high-precision, direct-drive ballscrew and linear encoder technology in the X and Y axes, contributing to its 30 μm, 3 Sigma placement accuracy and insuring a level of repeatability that belt-driven pick and place systems are simply unable to maintain. With high-power AC servo motors allowing placement rates approaching 5000 cph (4000 cph, IPC-9850), the MC-385 is faster and more precise than any pick and place system in its class. |
 |
Head Mounted Cameras with Image Processing for True "Vision-On-The-Fly" The MC-385V1V ’s head-mounted, upward-aimed cameras with vision processing and programmable illumination allow easy set-up for a wide range of SMDs, including odd form components and BGAs. Also included as standard equipment, this system provides true, non-contact "vision-on-the-fly," with component reference and alignment algorithms performed during head travel for maximum speed and efficiency. System is configured with one standard head-mounted camera optics to perform flying vision on a specified range of component sizes; 0.4 mm x 0.2 mm (01005) to 8 mm2 (0.315 in.2) or 0.6 mm x 0.3 mm (0201) to 16 mm x 14 mm (0.63" x 0.55"). The sole use of vision, for alignment of component leads, balls, or bumps directly to the pads on the PCB, totally eliminates placement inaccuracies associated with component manufacturing tolerances. Such innaccuracies are common to placement equipment that uses laser centering technology, which locates and aligns to the component body, and also makes it extremely sensitive to Z-axis variations.

Base-Mounted, Upward-Aimed Cameras for Alignment of Large Over-sized SMDs or Components Out-of-Range of Head-Mounted Optics To allow any single MC-385 system to accommodate the entire range of SMDs commercially available, high-resolution stationary cameras mounted to the MC-385 worktable can be used for alignment of components outside the range of the head-mounted optics. In other words, an MC-385 outfitted with head-mounted optics for 0.6 mm x 0.3 mm (0201) to 16 mm x 14 mm (0.63" x 0.55") SMDs, which represents the overwhelming majority of SMDs in use today, could use a separate base-mounted camera for alignment of smaller 01005 components. An MC-385 outfitted with head-mounted optics for 0.4 mm x 0.2 mm (01005) to 8 mm2 (0.315 in.2) SMDs would use base-mounted cameras for alignment of components larger than 8 mm2 (0.315 in.2). Base mounted cameras with a wider optical range and diagonal split-vision image processing can even be used for alignment of large components up to 150 mm x 100 mm.

Capacity For Up To 128 Smart Tape Feeders; Compatible w/ 32-Port Quick-Change Feeder Trolley Manncorp 32-Port Smart Feeder Bases can be mounted on all four sides of the MC-385, when used in its stand-alone configuration, for a total capacity of 128 8 mm tape feeders. With feeder bases on all four sides, 370 mm x 350 mm (14.5" x 13.8") of payload area can be shared by PCBs and waffle trays. Placement area increases to a generous 435 mm x 350 mm (17.1" x 13.8") with feeder bases mounted on only the front and rear of the system. 32-Port Smart Feeder bases hold up to 32 individual 8 mm or 12 mm tape feeders, or as many as 50 individual tubes on 5 of the 10-Lane Smart IC Tube Holders. Manncorp Smart Feeders can be purchased and installed individually, so that feeder bases can also be shared with Manncorp Smart Stick Feeders in virtually unlimited numbers of configurations. |

Powerful Windows®-Based Control Software The MC-385 utilizes the same robust, Windows®-based control system and intuitive user interface common to all models in the Manncorp MC Series. Programming is accomplished via direct input/import of numeric data, teach-mode using the built-in teaching camera, or easy-to-use universal CAD conversion and download utilities. All systems are supplied with a standard library of different component package types and sizes (resistors, capacitors, diodes, SOTs, PLCCs, QFPs, SOJs, SOPs, etc.) containing default vision inspection parameters and data for component alignment. Component libraries, which can be easily edited, customized, and expanded, contain component specific data that is linked to integrated Manncorp Smart Feeder software for easy feeder setup and inventory control. Dispensing patterns and parameters can also be defined and assigned to specific components in the component libraries, for retrieval when using the integrated ATP Dispensing software. Fiducial mark search routines are used for identification of PCB offset or misalignment and subsequent placement data interpolation/correction. MC Series software also features optimization tools that analyze placement data and component mix in order to provide a recommended feeder arrangement that will minimize head travel, reduce tool changes, and allow the fastest production speeds. The MC Series software also provides advanced inspection capability that allows the user to verify solder paste printing accuracy and component placement. A network adapter allows communication with other equipment and permits programming, calibration, and diagnostic maintenance from any remote location via the Internet. |
