Types of Smt Chip Mounter

Manual Placement System
The system includes a manual trolley and table, and a pneumatic/electric feeder with fixed reel components. Staff uses tweezers to pick up components from their respective reels and manually place them on the PCB. For complex component placement or even multiple component placement, the system can include mini guides and visual identification units to achieve high accuracy in component placement.

 

Automatic Placement Machine
The automatic placement system has a camera installed next to the placement head to facilitate immediate feedback, help the robot accurately position the plate edges and LCD, and help the operator manage self-correction and adjustment on the machine. High accuracy levels can be achieved through the use of automatic visual sensing technologies, such as optical centering assisted by a CCD camera located above the workbench in the work area, and dual magnifying glass/microscope auxiliary equipment for manual guidance while placing very small components such as SMD resistors and capacitors. These fully automatic placement systems eliminate manual labor and errors related to the manual welding process.

 

Components of Smt Chip Mounter
 

Frame
In the structure of the placement machine, the frame is the foundation of the machine, and all transmission, positioning, and transmission mechanisms are firmly fixed on it. At present, various forms of racks can be mainly divided into two types: integral casting type and steel plate welding type. However, since most types of placement machines and various feeders are also placed on them, the rack should have enough mechanical strength and rigidity.

 

Transmission Mechanism And Support Table
The transmission mechanism refers to the ultra-thin belt transmission system placed on the track. Its main function is to send the PCB that needs to be patched to the predetermined position, and then send the SMA to the predetermined position after the patch is completed. next process.

 

X, Y Positioning System
X, Y positioning system is not only the key mechanism of the placement machine, but also the main index for evaluating the accuracy of the placement machine. It includes X, Y transmission structure and X, Y servo system.

 

Optical Centering System
The centering of the placement machine means that the placement machine must ensure that the suction nozzle is sucked in the center of the component when picking up the component, so that the center of the component is consistent with the centerline of the spindle of the placement head.

 

SMT Head
The SMT head is the key part of the placement machine. After picking up the components, it can automatically correct the position under the control of the calibration system, and place the components accurately on the designated position.

 

Feeder
The feeder occupies a large number and position in the placement machine, and its function is to provide the chip components SMC/SMD to the placement head according to a certain rule and order for accurate and convenient picking.

 

Sensors
At present, a variety of sensors are installed in the placement machine, which can check the electrical performance of components. They are like the eyes of the placement machine, monitoring the normal operation of the machine at all times. The common ones are pressure sensors, negative pressure sensors and position sensors, etc. Generally speaking, the more sensors are used, the higher the level of intelligence of the placement machine.

 

How Does the Smt Chip Mounter Production Line Work
 
Smt Chip Mounter

Component Feeding
The SMT chip mounter is equipped with a system of feeders that hold the electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, ICs, and connectors. These feeders can be tape feeders, tray feeders, or bulk feeders depending on the component type and packaging.

 

Component Recognition
The SMT chip mounter utilizes vision systems and sensors to identify and locate the components in the feeders. This involves capturing images, analyzing patterns, and using algorithms to determine the position, orientation, and dimensions of each component.

PCB Alignment
The PCB is positioned on the machine's work area, typically on a conveyor or a dedicated fixture. The SMT chip mounter uses alignment mechanisms, such as fiducial marks or optical sensors, to precisely position the PCB in the correct orientation.

 

Component Pickup
Once the machine has identified the components and aligned the PCB, it employs a robotic arm or gantry system with vacuum nozzles or specialized tools to pick up the components from the feeders. The selection of the appropriate tool and nozzle depends on the component type, size, and handling requirements.

Introduction of the Types of Smt Chip Mounter Mount Head
 

Fixed single head of SMT mounter machine

After the single-head SMT mounter machine sucks a component, the component is aligned by the mechanical centering mechanism, and a signal is given to the feeder to make the next component enter the suction position. But the mounting speed in this way is very low, usually tt takes 1s to place a chip component. In order to increase the patching speed, people have adopted an increase in the number of placement heads to increase the patching rate.

Fixed multi-head of SMT mounter machine

The fixed multi-head of SMT mounter machine is improved on the basis of single-head, which increases from single-head to 3~6 placement heads. When the fixed multi-head works, mechanical alignment is no longer used. Instead, it is replaced by multiple forms of optical alignment. The placement head absorbs the components separately, and then mounts them in sequence after the alignment. At present, the mounting speed of this type of SMT mounter machine has reached 30,000 components per hour, and the price is low, and it can also be used in combination. As the times progress, the placement head is changed from a mechanical type to a nozzle type, and the technical requirements for the nozzle will increase accordingly.

Rotary multi-head of SMT mounter machine

High-speed SMT mounter machines mostly use a rotary multi-head structure to achieve high-speed placement. At present, the placement speed of this method has reached 45,000 to 50,000 pieces per hour. It only takes about 0.08s to paste a component.
Horizontal rotation-turret mounting head: This kind of SMT mounter machine generally has 12-24 placement heads, each with 5-6 suction nozzles, which can suck and place a variety of components of different sizes. The placement heads are fixed on the turret and can only rotate horizontally.
Vertical rotation-turntable type placement head: Generally, 12 suction nozzles are installed in this SMT mounter machine, and each suction nozzle sucks components during operation. Usually this type of SMT mounter machine reinstalls two or four sets of rotating heads, one of which is in the placement of the head and the other is in the absorption of components, and then exchange functions to achieve the purpose of high-speed placement.

Combined placement head of SMT mounter machine

This type of SMT mounter machine consists of 16 independent placement heads. 16 placement heads place components at the same time, which can place 96,000 components per hour, but for each placement head, only 6,000 components per hour are placed, which is only equivalent to the level of a medium-speed machine. Therefore, when working, the placement accuracy is high, the failure rate is small, and the noise is low. For a product to be placed, as long as the components to be placed are allocated to 16 placement heads according to a certain procedure, a balanced combination can be achieved and extremely high speed can be obtained.
