Martin's new equipment series, the Auto-Vision-Expert 09.5 is becoming established as a yardstick for rework processes. The company says that it has further developed its successful prior machines to now provide a most effective rework station, which can reliably deal with all rework tasks and all SMD types.
The requirements of further miniaturisation of components and the extremely tight lead-free process window, are integrated in the new Expert-09.5 series with precision and user friendliness.
With lead-free rework, no helpfully self-centring SMDs exist. This means that the usual Split-Field placement systems are no longer adequate. The logical answer is provided by Martin's Auto-Vision-Placer, a placement system it says was inspired by the vision technology of automatic pick-and-place machines.
Anyone still relying on the naked eye for complex calibration processes for placement is risking precision. The appearance of pad and ball alignment accuracy on the screen is false, as placement accuracy depends completely on the calibration of the optical path. In addition, there is the uncontrolled 'blind' descend after manually aligning the component.
With the Expert 09.5 this risk is eliminated. Martin uses the fixed camera lens of the Auto-Vision-Placer. The automatic placement process is controlled and calculated from beginning to end.
