Today�s assembly is characterized by small batch sizes and frequent product changes. Therefore, minimized changeover times are key characteristics of modern pick-and-place systems. Additionally, the growing product mix requires intelligent tools for production planning, documentation and traceability. A large feeder capacity, intelligent feeders and easy-to-use operation software are key features for a highly flexible production machine. CSM7100V�s standard laser alignment is accurate, reliable and maintenance-free. Every component is measured and aligned on-the-fly and for QFP and BGA the CSM7100V also includes an upward looking camera. Tape reels, tape strips, sticks and trays of any size can be used to feed parts. Components as tall as 15 mm can be placed.
CSM7100V with vision pick-and-place fulfills the requirements of high-mix/low-volume SMT production. It offers a wide application range as well as outstanding performance. Benefits of the system include a feeder capacity of 95 x 8 mm, intelligent tape feeders from 8 to 56 mm, 4000 placements per hour, optical on-the-fly alignment, easy graphical operation system, integrated dispensing system, barcode-based feeder setup and a universal CAD data input filter.
Machine operation software LIGHTPLACER is a key factor in the system�s flexibility. The powerful Windows-based software features a fully graphical man-machine interface, making operation and programming easy. Additionally, the large feeder capacity and the automatic recognition of the intelligent feeders ensure minimum changeover times and error-free placement. All tape feeders are electrically driven and the pitch is programmable. CSM7100V can be programmed on- or offline. Barcode labels on feeders and components guarantee the correct and quick feeder setup using a barcode reader.
CSM7100V vision pick-and-place system has a footprint of only 32 x 32", and it fits into every type of production.
