There are three types of placement robots. The machine base and the output requirement of the customer determines the amount of robot types that will be configured.
The three robot types are the following:
1. Compact Placement Robot (CPR): Each trolley segment holds up to 4 CPR’s.
2. Standard Placement Robot (SPR): This robot is twice the width of a CPR. Each trolley segment holds up to 2 SPRs.
3. Twin Placement Robot (TPR): This is a two axes linear robot that occupies 1 trolley segment. In contrast to the CPR and SPR, only one (1) TPR can be placed on an AX base.
CPR: fi ts all robot positions
SPR: fi ts all odd robot positions
TPR: Most right trolley section (other positions on request)
4.1 Compact Placement Robot (CPR)
For safety reasons, any section that is not equipped with a robot will be covered by a dummy hood. This dummy hood is called an AX Safety cap and is of the same width as one CPR.
A total of 4 compact placement robots fi t one trolley segment, meaning that an AX-501 can hold a maximum of 20 robots while an AX-301 can hold a maximum of 12 robots.
2 CPRs fi t on the same location as 1 SPR robot and therefore effectively double the output on the same footprint.
CPR specifications:
Dimensions (LxWxH): 1,625 x 120 x 250mm
Weight: 32 kg
Component alignment possibilities: Laser
Component range: 0.4 x 0.2mm up to 17.5 x 17.5mm
Component height: 10.5mm
Accuracy: 40μ, CpK > 1.0
4.2 Standard Placement Robot (SPR)
A total of 2 standard placement robots fi t one trolley segment, meaning that an AX-501 can hold a maximum of 10 robots while an AX-301 can hold a maximum of 6 robots.
SPR specifications
Dimensions(LxWxH): 1,625 x 240 x 250mm
Weight: 52 kg
Component alignment possibilities: Laser and camera alignment
Component range: 0.4 x 0.2mm up to 45 x 45mm
Component height: 10.5mm
Accuracy: 40μ, CpK > 1.0 for laser alignment; 35μ, CpK > 1.0 for camera alignment
4.3 Twin Placement Robot (TPR)
Currently, only one (1) TPR can fi t on an AX-501 or AX-301 base. It occupies exactly one trolley position and expands the capabilities of the AX with high speed IC placement and increased accuracy for IC/BGA/CSP and Flip chip placement. Additionally it adds front side tray capability.
TPR specifications
Dimensions(LxWxH): 1,820 x 480 x 407mm
Weight: 120 kg
Component alignment possibilities: Laser and camera
Component range: 0.4 x 0.2mm up to 45 x 45mm
Component height: 10.5mm
Accuracy: 40μ, CpK > 1.0 for laser alignment; 25μ, CpK > 1.0 for camera alignment
Output TPR (IPC9850):
IC from tape, aligned by laser: 16,000 cph
IC from tape, aligned by camera: 6,600 cph
IC from tray, aligned by laser: 13,000 cph
IC from tray, aligned by camera: 6,000 cph
