Manncorp's 6,400 CPH dual-head MC-392 pick-and-place features ball screw X-Y and 30um, 3 sigma accuracy

Although all five models in Manncorp’s latest-generation MC series pick-and-place systems have received industry acclaim, one system in particular has stood out for its extraordinary price/performance ratio, according to CEO Henry Mann.

The dual-head MC-392 placement rate of 6,400 cph and large feeder capacity allow the system to be called on for high-mix assembly applications – from product development to mid-level manufacturing. The machine’s high-precision features include ball screw X-Y drive and closed-loop servo control with linear encoding for placement accuracy of 30µm, 3 Sigma. It is available either in an in-line configuration with up to 96 feeders or as a stand-alone unit with space for 160 feeders.

The 392’s vision system is Cognex®-based for "on-the-fly" alignment of any SMD from 0.4mm x 0.2mm (01005 footprint) to 16mm x 14mm, including CSPs and µBGAs. Additional upward-looking vision cameras align components up to 150 x 100mm, including large BGAs and QFPs to 0.3.mm (0.012”) lead pitch. A vision inspection capability allows a camera to selectively check solder paste printing and component placement accuracy.

"The features of this machine go on and on," reports Mr. Mann, "but the greatest asset of the MC-392 is its value. At $69,995, we frankly feel there’s no other lead-screw pick-and-place that comes close – in price or performance!"
