Page 85 Amistar Intros 2 i-Pulse Autoplacers


San Marcos, CA — Amistar Automation is presenting two new machines from i-Pulse, a Yamaha Motor Group Company, for next-gen- eration manufacturing: M10, and M20. The M10 is a high-speed and


compact multi-mount pick-and-place machine, and M20 is a high-perform- ance machine with large feeder capacity and very large board-han- dling ability. Both M10 and M20 have expansion capability for hybrid


functions. Both are aimed at flexibil- ity and productivity for multi-func- tional manufacturing needs. Both machines can handle com-

ponent sizes from 01005 to 120 x 90mm, and up to 30mm high. The M20 can handle PCB sizes of up to 1240 x 510mm (48.8 x 20-in.) and can handle a maximum of 144 feeders (8mm). The M20 is available in 4- and 6-head configurations, rated at 24,000CPH and 30,000CPH, respec- tively. These high speeds are achieved by advanced technology gantries that can move faster. Time loss caused by fiducial recognition is reduced considerably with a newly de signed conveyor system that enables the machine to deliver a much higher actual throughput. The M10 is compact, but can

handle PCB sizes of up to 740 x 510mm (29 x 20-in.) and can handle up to 72 8mm feeders. M10 is avail- able in the same head configurations as the M20 and is rated at the same speeds. All other features and specifi- cations are identical to the M20 with the main differences being the overall footprint, feeder capacity and board handling size. Both M10 and M20 offer as standard a high-resolution digital


multi-scan camera for on-the-fly vision to capture images of compo- nents even at maximum axis speed, said to be one of the fastest in the market. Bright LED illumination and high-speed camera shutter avoids blurred images and delivers highly accurate placement of compo- nents.

A-Tek Intros Next-Gen Ebso Selective Solder


Berthoud, CO — A-Tek Systems Group, an electronics equipment dis- tribution company is introducing the Ebso SPA-NC — its next generation selective solder platform. The prod- uct is highly flexible, with automatic selective soldering cells with manual load/unload. Many PCBs have thermally


sen sitive components and complex SMD layouts, which are challenging and likely unsuitable for processing


in a traditional wave solder machine. To overcome the soldering chal- lenges, some electronics manufactur- ers use custom solder masks to cover the SMD components. This added assembly step increases cost. The new selective solder plat-


form overcomes these challenges by automatically transporting the PCB to each critical soldering step via an XYZ-axis carrier, using a Microdrop fluxer, bottom-side preheater and soldering modules. The final result: perfect solder joints and a reliable, repeatable process. To reduce surface tension of the


Complex components need reliable protection.


When you need to precisely spray and dispense liquid coatings, the SCS Precisioncoat selective spray and dispense coating system provides maximum accuracy and fl exibility. The system applies 100% solids, solvent-based and water-based coatings via three to fi ve axes. Optional features, such as needle calibration, vision system, offl ine programming and barcode reader capability, meet any production requirement.


SCS Precisioncoat systems connect seamlessly with SCS thermal and UV cure units, enabling components to move from coating to curing without operator intervention.

solder wave, and to achieve the high- est quality soldering results, nitro- gen is provided to the solder bath and solder pump unit. The bath and pump in the SPA-NC are made of titanium, making the machine suit- able for both lead and lead-free pro- duction environments. All SPA-NC Selective Soldering


machines include the EBSO Photo Editor, a Windows®-based software program. Utilizing a “Point and Click” feature, soldering programs are easily created within minutes. Programming the SPA-NC is intu- itive and easy. A scanned image of a bare PCB is all that is needed. The software automatically calculates the correct X and Y value. Because the operator is looking at the PCB image when creating the program, the oper- ator can see all neighboring compo- nents to optimize the program and select the appropriate nozzle. This negates the requirement for expen- sive teach cameras. Contact: A-Tek Systems Group
