Hanwha Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Machine Accessories Function Quick Reference Table: Don't Understand Accessories?

Hanwha Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Machine Accessories Function Quick Reference Table: Don't Understand Accessories? This one can be understood directly!

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.

I. Feeder: The "Material Handler" of the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Machine

When it comes to the most crucial components in a surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine, Feida must be ranked first.

Function: 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.

Common types:

• 8mm/12mm/16mm Feida: Small components such as resistors, capacitors and sensors are attached.
• Feida over 24mm: IC, inductors, large package devices;
• Vibrating feeder/panel-mounted feeder: For attaching non-standard parts, loose parts, etc.

Note: 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".

2. Nozzle: The "mouth" of the robotic hand, it is the key to grasping components

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.

Function: By means of vacuum suction, it lifts the components sent by Feida and then transfers them onto the PCB board.

Common models: The nozzle models vary by industry and model, for example:

• CN065, CN140: Suitable for small capacitance absorption;
• CN400, CN750: Suitable for absorbing medium and large-sized ics such as QFP and SOP;
• Customized irregular-shaped suction nozzles: For the mounting of special components;

Tips for use: 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.

III. Track System (Conveyor) : Can't move the board? Most likely there's something wrong with it

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.

Function: Transport PCB boards and precisely position the mounting positions;

Main components:

• Guide rails, motors, belts, sensors;
• Some models have a single track (one board is attached at a time), while others have a double track (more efficient).

Common Questions:

• 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".

Four. Visual Recognition System (Camera) : Whether it is pasted accurately or not depends on its recognition

Why can a surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine precisely place materials? It all relies on the camera and recognition algorithm to "see clearly".

Function:

• MARK recognition: Identify the positioning points on the PCB and determine the placement coordinates;
• Component identification: Confirm whether the components sucked up are offset, skewed or reversed.

Main components:

• Top visual: Capture components
• Below: Take a photo of the PCB board

Common Questions:

• 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.

V. Sensor Series: These "little things" are the big managers of the surface mount technology (SMT) 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.

Common sensor functions:

• Vacuum detection: Check whether the suction nozzle has sucked the components.
• Feida in-place sensor: If Feida is not installed properly, it can report.
• Track sensor: It knows best whether the board is in place or not.

A small tip: 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".

Vi. Drive System + Electrical Control Module: The "Heart and Brain" of the Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Machine

• Drive motor: Controls the movement of the X and Y axes, as well as the up and down movement of the Z axis.
• Servo system/encoder: Determines the surface mount speed and accuracy;
• Main control board card/electronic control module: The command center of the entire machine.

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.

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.
