2. Modular design
Optional single-head/multi-head configuration, flexible to deal with different components (such as resistors, BGA, connectors).
Quick line change (<10 minutes), reducing downtime.
3. Intelligent feeding system
Smart Feeder: Automatically identify the position of the material belt to reduce material throwing.
Dual-track feeding (optional): No shutdown during material change, improve efficiency.
4. Advanced vision system
5MP HD camera + multi-angle lighting, accurate identification of reflective and black components.
On-the-fly Vision: Dynamic correction, reducing calibration time.
5. Intelligent production
ASM OMS software: Optimize the placement path and improve efficiency by 10%-20%.
Industry 4.0 support: Integration with MES/ERP system to achieve data traceability.
4. Typical application scenarios
Consumer electronics: smartphone motherboard (01005 components).
Automotive electronics: ECU control board (QFN, BGA).
Industrial control: PLC module (special-shaped connector).
Medical equipment: high-precision sensor board.
5. Maintenance methods
1. Daily maintenance
Daily:
Clean the nozzle and camera lens.
Check whether the vacuum filter is blocked.
Weekly:
Lubricate the X/Y axis guide rails and lead screws.
Calibrate the feeder step.
2. Periodic calibration
Monthly:
Perform visual system calibration (using standard calibration board).
Check the Z-axis pressure of the placement head.
3. Key spare parts list
Nozzle (special for 01005/0402).
Vacuum generator.
Feeder gear/belt.
VI. Common faults and maintenance ideas
1. Mounting offset
Possible causes:
Nozzle is clogged/worn → Clean or replace the nozzle.
Visual calibration deviation → Recalibrate the camera.
PCB positioning is inaccurate → Check the support PIN.
Solution:
Execute Auto Calibration.
Check the component library parameters (thickness, size).
2. High throw rate
Possible causes:
Insufficient vacuum (nozzle is clogged/air pipe leaks) → Check the vacuum pump (standard>80kPa).
Feeder step error → Recalibrate the feeder.
Component recognition failed → Adjust lighting parameters.
Solution:
Clean the nozzle and check the vacuum line.
Optimize visual recognition parameters (such as adding side light).
3. Machine alarm (servo/drive error)
Possible causes:
Motor overload → Check guide rail lubrication.
Encoder failure → Restart or replace the encoder line.
Power supply fluctuates → Check three-phase voltage.
Solution:
Check error code (such as E-stop, Axis Error).
Manually push X/Y axis to check if it is stuck.
4. Feeder does not feed
Possible reasons:
The tape is stuck → Manually pull the material to remove the stuck material.
The sensor is dirty → Clean the photoelectric sensor.
Poor electrical contact → Replug the signal line.
Solution:
Check whether the feeder gear is aligned.
Replace damaged feeder accessories.
