How Does The Pick And Place Equipment Work?

The SMT pick and place machine is actually a precise industrial PCB pick and place robot, which is a combination of machine-electric-optical and computer control technology. It fastly and accurately places SMC/SMD components on the specified pad position on the PCB board without damaging the components and printed circuit boards through functions such as suction-displacement-positioning-placement. There are three ways of component alignment: mechanical alignment, laser alignment, and visual alignment. The SMT electronics pick and place machine is composed of a rack, an x-y motion mechanism (ball screw, linear guide, drive motor), a placement head, a component feeder, a PCB carrying mechanism, and a device alignment detection device, and a computer control system. The movement is mainly realized by the x-y motion mechanism, the power is transmitted through the ball screw, and the directional movement is realized by the rolling linear guide motion pair. The placement position accuracy of each component is guaranteed in this way.

Where The Pick And Place Equipment Is Used?

It loads different working files to mount the corresponding PCB. If you want to know more about the price of a PCB pick and place machine/ PCB soldering machine/ PCB component placement machine/ PCB SMT assembly machine, please contact us!

What Is The Difference Between SMT And SMD?

The difference between an SMD assembly machine and an SMT assembly machine is that SMD (surface mount device) refers to electronic components mounted on PCB. In contrast, SMT (surface mount technology) involves a method for placing electronic components on a printed circuit board. As one of the pick and place machine manufacturers in China, our company provides various pick and place machines, for example, small SMT pick and place machine/ placement machine, SMT chip mounter/ mounting machine, SMT soldering machine, small SMD machine and mini SMD component mounting machine/ surface mount device, SMD pick and place machine/ placement machine, SMD surface mount device/ mounting machine, SMD soldering machine.

What is SMT Assembly？

With the development of technology, future electronic products will be lighter, smaller and thinner. Traditional assembly technology can no longer meet the requirements of high-precision and high-density assembly. A new type of PCB assembly technology-SMT (Surface Mount Technology) has emerged. SMT Assembly is the use of automated machines to assemble electronic components on the surface of the circuit board. Its density, high speed, standardization and other characteristics occupies an absolute advantage in the field of circuit assembly technology. In addition, SMT assembly has a wide range of uses.

What is SMT Machine？

SMT (Surface Mounted Technology) is a comprehensive system engineering technology, which covers substrates, design, equipment, components, assembly processes, production accessories and management. When it comes to SMT machines, the automatic SMT production line requires automatic loading and unloading machine, automatic solder paste printing machine, placement machine, reflow soldering machine, AOI inspection equipment, connecting table, etc. For these SMT assembly line equipment, Tronstol can offer you machines in prototype SMT line, small SMT production line, mass production SMT line at low SMT line cost. Contact us now if you are interested.

What is SMT Process？

There are mainly three steps in SMT assembly line process flow： solder paste printing, components placement and reflow soldering.

1. Solder Paste Printing

Its function in SMT line process is to print the solder-free paste on the pads of the PCB to prepare for the soldering of the components. The equipment used is a screen printing machine, located at the forefront of the SMT production line.

2. Components Placement

Its function is to accurately install the surface mount components on the fixed position of the PCB. The equipment used is a placement machine, located behind the screen printing machine in the SMT production line.

3. Reflow Soldering

Its function in SMT manufacturing line is to melt the solder paste so that the surface mount components and the PCB board are firmly bonded together. The equipment used is a reflow oven, located behind the placement machine in the fully automatic SMT production line.
