Surface Mount Technology

SMT Assembly

Following substantial investment in both machinery and training over the last two years the SMT solution delivered by Icom Scottech has never been better.  We can now offer component handling of 01005 up to BGA at IPC production speeds of up to 25000cph through our fully automated SMT production line.  The line has been setup to deliver a high-speed throughput with a focus on high-precision LED placement.  We have custom placement nozzles on site for industry standard LED packages with the ability to design further nozzles for any placement needs.  Rapid bespoke pre-production prototypes can also be carried out on our smaller QUAD based production line.

Mirae Mx200LP Placement Machine

Maximum PCB Size:  660*x460mm *Board Lengths of up to 1200mm can be catered for upon request
Thickness: 0.4 – 5mm
Placement Capabilities: Passive components 01005 thru 2920 (imperial), SOP, SOD, SOT, CAN, TANT, SOIC, SOJ, TSOP, SSOP, TSSOP, QSOP, VSOP, PLCC, QFP, LQFP, PQFP, TQFP, QFN, MLP, PQFN, BGA, FBGA, LFBGA,  TFBGA, micro-BGA, LLP.
Specialist Nozzles for placement of 3.45mmx3.45mm LED packages, custom nozzles can be developed for any specialist pick/place requirement.
CPH: 17000
Capacity: 100 8mm Feeders
Heads: 4 Modular, 1 Precision
Cameras: 6 upward facing alignment cameras, 1 precision camera for devices with a lead pitch to 0.3mm and one downward camera for placement inspection and alignment (up to 2 fiducials can be checked for any individual placement).
Accuracy: +/–0.025mm
Fiducial Recognition: Preferred fiducials are 1.5mm diameter rounds with 2.25mm clearance, however we have the ability to identify circle, rectangle, triangle, cross, diamond, bow tie, ellipse, checker, saw, angle, ring, donut, sharp or barcode fids.  In the absence of fiducial marks it is possible to program the machine to use drill holes as locating positions.
Additional Capabilities:  Supplier packaging can be taught as a placement tray for non-standard parts within the size constraints of the machine.

Quad QRS-7 Series Convection Reflow Oven

Conveyor Width: 550mm

Handling

Full conveyor system with automated board loading providing inspection opportunities throughout the entire SMT process

Programming Capabilities

Centroid reports are the preferred method of programming for SMT placement.  However if unavailable Gerber files can be used to generate a centroid report in-house or PCB’s can be manually digitised using the placement machines themselves.
