Through a design that consists of a base carrier with a low-maintenance consumable foil, the carrier provides the stability, centering and alignment capabilities required to process multiple substrates or components in a single panel, improving throughput. Parts are placed in the carrier either manually or loaded with a placement system. Substrates are held in the carrier via a patented 4-sided tensioning mechanism and then aligned within the carrier using an innovative centering system. Parts are referenced using two global fiducials – as opposed to individual component fiducials – thus enabling the easy transfer of VPC throughout all assembly processes. The system is also scalable, allowing manufacturers to adjust component quantity for individual processing requirements.
