Many friends who have just come into contact with Hanwha surface mount technology (formerly Samsung surface mount Technology) may initially think that this thing is quite complicated. Just for one machine, there are a bunch of accessories, including feta, nozzles, sensors, tracks, vision systems... All kinds of parts sound "high-end and sophisticated" without their names, but when real problems arise, sometimes it's hard to even find where the accessories are.
Don't panic. Today's article will share a quick reference table of the functions of Hanwha's surface mount technology (SMT) machine accessories. After reading it, at least you can figure out what each accessory is used for and where to check if there is a problem.
When it comes to the most crucial components in a surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine, Feida must be ranked first.
Simply put, the Feida is to "deliver" the electronic components on the material tape one by one to the bottom of the suction nozzle for the machine to mount.
The feeder should be adjusted accurately and the material should be pushed smoothly; otherwise, problems such as "not being able to be sucked in", "sticking out of position", and even "missing part alarm" may occur.
In a nutshell: Feida is the "feeder" of the surface mount technology (SMT) machine. If it is not fed well, the machine will be "hungry".
The small round head for picking up materials on the surface mount technology (SMT) machine is the suction nozzle. It may not look big, but without it, the job really can't be done.
By means of vacuum suction, it lifts the components sent by Feida and then transfers them onto the PCB board.
The nozzle models vary by industry and model, for example:
The suction nozzle is prone to clogging holes and a decrease in suction power. It should be cleaned regularly. If it breaks, replace it in time. Don't force it.
In a nutshell: Although the suction nozzle is small, it is truly a "technical person". If it doesn't suck well, it will have to be redone.
The surface mount technology (SMT) machine not only attaches materials but also is responsible for transporting PCB boards from one end to the other, which is accomplished by the track system.
Transport PCB boards and precisely position the mounting positions;
The problems such as the board getting stuck, misalignment and track shaking are very likely related to the track system.
In a word: Whether the track is smooth or not directly affects efficiency. Don't underestimate its job of "feeding the board".
Why can a surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine precisely place materials? It all relies on the camera and recognition algorithm to "see clearly".
Unstable lighting, lens dirt, and misaligned programs can all slow down recognition or result in errors.
In a nutshell: Whether the placement is accurate or not depends entirely on the quality of the "eyes". The visual system is the "eyes" of the surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine.
There are a lot of sensors in the surface mount technology (SMT) machine. Although they are not very noticeable in daily use, they will trigger a full-line alarm as soon as an error occurs.
If a surface mount technology (SMT) machine suddenly gets stuck, stops, or reports an error for no reason, it is mostly related to these "small sensors". Don't ignore them.
In a word: Sensors are the "nerve endings" of surface mount technology (SMT) machines, responsible for transmitting information to the "brain".
Problems with these components can be quite serious. It is recommended that they be handled by professional engineers, and ordinary operators should not touch them casually.
In a nutshell: This part is like a person's nervous system, heart, and muscle groups. It's no joke if it malfunctions.
Accessory name | Core role | Fault manifestation | Replacement frequency |
---|---|---|---|
Feida | Feeder, feeding components | Missing parts, material shaking, no material pushing | Medium |
Suction nozzle | Grasp components and precisely absorb | Failed to suck, offset, dropped parts | high |
Orbital system | Deliver the PCB board and position it | Plate jamming, misalignment, jitter | low |
Visual system | Identify components and mounting positions | Error report, identification failed | Medium |
All kinds of sensors | Detect the signal and perform the judgment | Shutdown alarm, misjudgment | Medium |
Drive/control module | Control motion, signal processing | Do not stick, do not move, power off | Low (important |
Only by understanding accessories can one better understand the machine
Many "veterans" of surface mount technology (SMT) machines do not rely on their high academic qualifications, but rather on their thorough understanding of every small component of the machine. Especially for surface mount technology (SMT) machines like Hanwha, they are compact in structure but powerful in function. Each component is not just for show. Understanding their functions clearly will prevent maintenance and repair from being in a rush.
