After having successfully introduced the growth concept for pick & place machines with the presentation of the HP-090/095, DIMA now takes it one step further with the MP-100, a modular built pick & place machine based on the SEC-frame (Stabilised Enforced Construction). The combination of stability, modularity and flexibility makes this pick & place machine an ideal starting platform for electronics manufacturers who aim for future expansion. The complete frame is constructed and built from one part providing the rigid and stable construction needed for fast and accurate movements. The SEC-frame ensures accuracy over a large working area at the speed required in pick and place machines. Modular built with space for up to 180 fully intelligent single tape feeder positions, or 360 sticks and a maximum PCB size of 310 x 500 mm this machine can place components varying from 0201 up to 42 x 42 mm. The basic machine is already equipped with a fiducial alignment camera and a component camera for component recognition providing fine pitch co-planarity recognition and BGA ball recognition without additional cost. The MP-100 is available as a stand-alone or in-line machine. The modular concept is lifted to a higher level when compared to the HP-090/095 machines. Not only expanding with an extra pipette, component camera and feeder positions additionally the stand-alone machine can be upgraded to become an in-line machine. Decisions from the past based on know-how available at that time are no longer a limitation for the future. One can invest now in the capacity that is needed at this stage and take the machine to the next level whenever necessary. The machine is provided with a user friendly software. The same full intelligent feeders from the company’s Hybrid series of pick & place machines can be used in it. The maximum component height to be placed by the machine is 16 mm. This means that a 16 mm high component can be placed over a previously placed 16 mm high component. Components can be processed from tape, stick or tray. The standard MP-100 can place components at a speed of 3,000 cph IPC rated. In combination with the firm’s CAD converter software and off-line feeder programming station a zero change over time can be guaranteed.
