Description
The APS-T48VB from Applied Physics Semiconductor is a compact, desktop vision pick and place machine designed for high-mix, low-to-medium volume SMT assembly. Featuring dual mounting heads and a robust vision system, it is ideal for prototyping, small batch production, and educational or R&D environments. The APS-T48VB supports a wide range of components and PCB sizes, making it a versatile addition to any electronics manufacturing setup.
Key Features
- Large PCB Clamping Area: Supports PCBs up to 345mm (L) x 360mm (W), accommodating a variety of board sizes and assembly processes.
- Dual Mounting Heads: Two independent heads for simultaneous component placement, increasing throughput and efficiency.
- Vision System: Equipped with up-looking and down-looking cameras for automatic component calibration and precise PCB alignment, ensuring accurate placement even for fine-pitch components.
- Flexible Feeding System: Up to 58 tape feeder positions (44×8mm, 8×12mm, 4×16mm, 2×24mm), 14 general IC stacks, and support for custom IC trays and stick feeders, enabling high-mix production.
- User-Friendly Operation: Built-in computer with an embedded Linux operating system and a 7-inch touchscreen interface for intuitive control, no external PC required.
- No External Air Supply Needed: Integrated vacuum pump simplifies setup and operation.
- Closed-Loop Control: X & Y axes driven by stepping motors with encoder-based closed-loop control for high accuracy and reliability.
