Essemtec公司宣布，在2008年4月1-3日拉斯維加斯舉辦的APEX2008上推出EXPERT-SAFP半自動SMT原型制作系統。通過使用Essemtec EXPERT貼放系統，用戶可以快速準確地安裝小批量及原型SMT組裝電路板。貼放頭采用氣動系統，移動柔和，符合人體工程學設計，可以快速準確地完成工作。When the component structure moves to fine-pitch or if a manual alignment is not possible (BGA, microBGA, flip chip), the integrated vision and placement system MPL3100 can help.
Its double prisma optical system can display the component and the substrate overlay on one screen. Alignment and placement is then easy and the large zoom range of the optic enables a highly accurate result.
The EXPERT-SAFP placement system is perfectly suited for prototyping because it allows components to be picked from both reels and sticks, and from rest tape strips as well as loose components. A turning station for upside down components standard on the system. Because fast and precise placement is also a basic requirement in small batch manufacturing, the EXPERT placement system can be connected with computer controls and works in a semi-automatic mode.
Placement data can be converted directly from the CAD file or thought point by point. The Windows control software increases productivity in some cases, it even doubles it and ensures that the correct component is correctly aligned at the desired place without errors.The EXPERT placement system is available as a complete prototyping station, including a dispenser and a reflow tool.
