place_it

The SMD pick-and-place machine works after the pick-and-place principle. place_it removes the components from the feeder and precisely sets them onto the programmed positions. place_it is able to work up a large spectrum of components. place_it is deliverable with dispenser for glue and solder paste and a wafer tray (tableau) for try packed components. You can buy place_it for favourable prices in sets.

Characteristics:

• Ready to be plugged in
• Compact construction
• Simple handling and programming
• Quick product exchange
• Internal, buffered data memory (RAM) for up to 64 various in-line assembly programs
• Control of the presence of the components by vacuum sensor
• 4 pliers centering system on the mounting head
• automatic exchange of the nozzles
• programmable compression for set-up
• positioning of components in all angular positions
• integrated vacuum pump
• glas ruler controlled positioning into X, Y and Z direction
• integrated error diagnostic system
• 16 possibilities to center components
• programmable depression threshold

Advantages of the new software

• New, modern and easy user interface that works under Microsoft® Windows® operating system
• Works with all place_it machines
• Supports old PLACER files
• Visually displays the project data
• Dispenser can be enabled or disabled for each component
• Prints the project or library data
• There are new ways to sort the components for assemble (for example by height of the case)
• Supports new EPROM with increased data transfer speeds

Demonstration version of the software will let you to test all the features except saving, printing or sending files to the machine. The only communications feature which is allowed in the demonstration version is downloading of the machine directory. Download the file, then unzip it into any directory and then start the Setup.exe file which will install the application on your computer. Uninstall support is included. Demonstartion version is installed separately from the real work version so testing and uninstalling it will not corrupt the working software. Download the documentation where you can read how to use the software.

place_it II and place_it II Vision

 

The SMD pick - and - place machine operates according to the pick - and - place principle and is PC-controlled. place_it removes the components from the feeder and precisely sets them onto the programmed positions. place_it is programmed via easy - to - understand Windows user masks. place_it processes a wide range of components.

 

place_it II vision features a vision system for teach-in, an optical, contactless component centering device, and an automatic recognition of the positions of the printed circuit board and the components. place_it can be supplied with a dispenser station and a wafer tray for tray-packed components. You can buy place_it at favorable prices in sets.

 

Features:

 

• Ready to be plugged in, including PC and monitor
• Compact design
• Simple operation through programming on Windows environment
