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/.
