New process-visualisation using two independent camera systems
28 March 2001
Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
The Selective Miniwave Machine MWM 3250 from Seho is an automated machine for soldering residual through-hole components. It is equipped with a robot system which moves the printed circuit board across fluxer and miniwave.
The machine now features process-visualisation using two independent camera systems. Observing the soldering process from two different angles provides an ideal way of controlling the process. Additionally, the pictures transferred to the PC monitor enable easy teaching of the computer.
A new control concept via PC makes it possible to integrate many vital additional functions, (eg optical solder joint control, CAD-data transfer, teach-software, integration of brush-modules, process visualisation, process data accumulation etc). The newly integrated dual-conveyor system further increases the present flexibility of the machine. This conveyor concept will result in higher throughputs (together with additional modules) and offers furthermore important options for possible integration.
The system MWM 3250 may use the dual-conveyor not only inline but also in batch processes without changing any hardware. The system easily interfaces upstream or downstream with respective other equipment.
The new technological modules supplement already existing functions thus giving the whole system an enormous flexibility. Already available basic features are the special gripper function and a high-precision robot as well as its defined mini-wave flow.
