Elektor.TV | Camera-Assisted Manual Pick and Place Device

eC-placer is designed and priced for prototype and small series assembly. It speeds up component placement, allowing significant savings in time and costs. Its robust construction ensures long-term accuracy and repeatability. The machine is fast to set-up with 23 adjustable feeders included for component tapes and sticks. Clear imaging from the HD camera and ergonomic design enhance productivity and minimize operator fatigue.

Specifications:

ESD-safe X – Y table with 10 mm pitch eC-registration-compliant location holes.
Heavy-duty construction for accurate operation, good repeatability and long-life
Precision mechanics with X, Y and Z movements and vacuum head component rotation.
Adjustable magnetic stops on X- & Y-axis
Ergonomic operation with solid hand support and high-definition imaging for maximum productivity and reduced operator fatigue
Right- and left-handed set-up. Left-handed set-up is a mirror of the right-handed set-up.
Vacuum placement head with quick-change nozzles for different size components plus rubber heads for larger components and ICs. Four nozzles and 3 suction cups included.
Built-in vacuum pump.
Two foot-pedal controls: one for the vacuum, and one for the X- and Y-axis programmable stops.
HD USB camera with parallax compensation for different heights between feeder and PCB.
Powerful LED light for illumination and cross-hair component location.
Camera can be linked to any Windows-compatible PC (not included) to display exact component position during pick-up and placement.
Feeders are included for component tapes and component sticks. Up to 23 feeders are easily adjusted for different widths (8 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm etc.).
