Robotas Technologies Ltd., manufacturer in THT component placement and clinching systems, will debut its latest ‘Mascot Verify’ Through-Hole Technology Inspection product, aimed at ensuring error-free PCB assembly at the 2024 IPC Apex Expo, taking place 9-11 April 2024 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. The company will be demonstrating its full line up of smart THT production technology in Booth #730, including the Mascot Clinch SMEMA Conveyor system, Board Handling, Intelligent Carousels and Dynamic Pick to Light (DPL) Picking Indication for Component Storage.
The company‘s new Verify inspection product is designed to uphold the standard of error-free PCB assembly pre-soldering, ensuring a No-Fault-Forward process. The Verify camera system guarantees, at the point of part placement by the operator, that each component is accurately positioned. Furthermore, the system ensures that components with polarity are correctly oriented during placement, thereby enhancing the overall precision and reliability of the assembly process.
Mascot systems automate and streamline PCB assembly via their laser guided component placement and visual work instructions. These guides the operator through the complete build process, improving product quality, increasing throughput and virtually eliminating setup time and rework. Mascot systems are ESD safe, electronically height adjustable, and provide component storage and delivery via carousel and DPL arrays. Component storage is mounted on articulated arms for enhanced ergonomics.
The company adds that its accompanying software allows users to easily create, edit and sequence assembly programs from existing Contacts Systems Data, PCB CAD or Gerber data, which can all be produced offline without needing to access the hardware.
Lead-forming and cutting systems
Partnering with at the expo, Swiss manufacturer Polyver will also be presenting their high-precision lead-forming and cutting systems. They deliver a 0.1mm accuracy in the forming and cutting of axial and radial components for THT Assembly.
