The ProtoPlace S is an ergonomically designed, semi-automatic pick & place systems for professional assembly of SMD printed circuit board prototypes and small batch projects.The ProtoPlace S quickly assembles SMD boards, with the user controlling each step of the assembly process through an LCD display. Most functions are easily executed from an interface panel with four directional arrows.
A camera system coupled with the display ensures easy and accurate component positioning control, so the ProtoPlace can precisely assemble complex circuits.
Manually guided movements of the ProtoPlace pick and place machine manipulator can be locked in both the X- and Y-directions, and fine adjustments can be performed using micrometer screws. A pneumatic device supports the positioning of the components, eliminating errors and guaranteeing accuracy.
Three different feeders supply the components. An integrated dispenser for solder paste is standard equipment, and the ProtoPlace can be equipped with an additional reworking station.
The optional motorized turntable stores individual components in bins, and permits a significantly accelerated picking process. The bins can be labeled with type, value and sign.
The feeder carrier can hold up to 12 feeders, both tube or tape and reel type.
The micro camera mounts directly on the manipulator and feeds a video signal of the process directly to the optional monitor.
The optional monitor, in tandem with the optional micro camera, allows the user to track and control small parts placement very precisely.
The ProtoPlace S uses tape feeders serving 8mm, 12mm, and 16mm components.
The ProtoPlace S supports stick feeders serving SO8 - SO28, SO8L - SO28L components, as well as PLCC28 - PLCC44 and PLCC52 - PLCC84 components.
