Electronics assemblers with high mix jobs, a need for automated assembly of 10,000 components per hour (cph), and stringent accuracy requirements will find what they a re looking for in Manncorp new High Mix High Flexibility SMT assembly line.

Turnkey SMT assembly lines offer several advantages over putting a production line together machine by machine, including the peace of mind of a single source of support for the entire line, equipment that been proven to work well together, and a cost savings on both equipment and feeders.

Manncorp new High Mix High Flexibility SMT assembly line features the four-head MC-388 pick and place machine. Its huge feeder capacity—192 when used with its 3-stage conveyor and 256 when set up as a batch machine—brings job changeover time to nearly zero. With ball screw drive, linear encoders, and full vision alignment, MC-388 is able to place components down to 0201s with accuracy of 30 µm, 3 sigma at rates reaching 10,500 cph. Uniquely, the machine can assemble boards and panels up to 1.2 m (48") long in a single pass.

Production really starts, however, with the MC1400 fully automatic stencil printer. Offering accuracy and repeatability on every print, MC1400 features dual squeegees, dual stroke control and automatic PCB offset alignment. Once printed, boards are delivered to the MC-388 for component placement via a CT-90 inline conveyor, eliminating the risk of solder paste being disturbed by operator handling.

After placement, PCBs are shuttled, smoothly, via a second CT-90 to the CR5000F, a compact, full-convection, lead-free reflow oven featuring five individually controlled top and bottom heating zones. It comes standard with an 18" wide adjustable pin conveyor installed over a 22" mesh belt. Included KIC® Auto-Focus Power software eliminates the guesswork of profile creation.

The CT-90 conveyors feature manual and auto by-pass modes, for selective or run-of-product QC checks and/or partial manual assembly as needed.

All automated turnkey SMT assembly lines from Manncorp include support, remote service, and a 2-year parts warranty. Installation and onsite training, performed by Manncorp experienced technicians, are available to get the assembly line—and your operator(s)—up and earning its keep as quickly as possible.

Manncorp helps manufacturers ‘reshore’ with fully-supported SMT production lines

After a decade of “cheap” manufacturing, US manufacturers are finding that quality control issues, theft of intellectual property, rising shipping and labor costs, long lead times, supply chain disruptions, customs problems, and the delays caused by distance and communication difficulties are adding much more to the cost of offshoring than expected. Many of these companies are now considering—or actively taking steps toward—‘reshoring,’ or bringing their manufacturing back from Asia to North America.

Contract manufacturers have seen demand growing over the past two years, even despite the fact that more OEMs are also ‘insourcing’—setting up their own production lines—to handle some of their work in-house.

Manncorp offers a cost-effective way for both contract electronics manufacturers and OEMs to expand production capability and capacity on their home turf: complete SMT assembly lines for every level of production. These ‘turnkey’ assembly lines give manufacturers total control over product quality, design changes and lead times. Product upgrades can be handled quickly and inventories managed more cost-effectively than has been possible with manufacturing offshored to far-off Asia.

The ten pre-configured SMT production lines from Manncorp cover the full gamut of surface mount PCB assembly, from prototyping and small batch through high-throughput production, including LED and backplane assembly. All but the ‘Starter’ line are anchored by MC-series pick and place machines, one of the hardest-working, easy-to-use and dependable series of component placement systems on the market. These placers are paired with precision stencil printers and powerful yet compact lead-free-capable reflow ovens.

Purchasing SMT assembly lines in turnkey packages rather than piece-by-piece offers the peace of mind of proven-compatible equipment with the convenience of a single source for purchase and support. With Manncorp turnkey lines, support includes a 2-year parts warranty, remote service software for fast troubleshooting, experienced (10+ years in the industry each) technicians, and the availability of installation and on-site training to get production up and running as smoothly and quickly as possible.

Manufacturers doing through-hole or mixed-technology PCB assembly will also find wave soldering machines and related equipment on Manncorp’s website to cover the full breadth of their production requirements.

Manncorp offers a no-obligation Requirements Evaluation to help assemblers determine which turnkey assembly line is best suited to their workload. Simply send a typical BOM (bill of materials) to sales@manncorp.com or contact one of Manncorp’s sales and support offices: 800-PIK-MANN (745-6266) for the East Coast office; 888-PIK-MANN (745-6266) for West.
