Track MT 60 – Board Handling Modules
MIMOT board conveyor modules are used to interconnect several SMT placement machines and/or additional equipment to create an in-line production line.
The modules are used as in-feed-, link- or out-feed-stations and feature programmable belt speed as well as check and stop functions.
More Information
Je nach Anforderung können verschiedene Kombinationen beliebig zusammengestellt werden. Die Bedienung und Konfiguration erfolgt über den Bestückungsautomaten.
Um eine Verbindung mit anderen Einheiten einer Produktionslinie zu ermöglichen, sind die MT-Module mit einer SMEMA-Schnittstelle ausgestattet.
Die Breitenverstellung für Einlaufbänder erfolgt zusammen mit dem Bestückwagen des Bestückungsautomaten (motorisch, als Standard mittels manueller Eingabe, bzw. optional automatisch via Software über das Bestückungsprogramm).
Zusätzlich kann als Erweiterung eines MIMOT Track MT 150 E/A oder eines MIMOT Track MT 180 E/A ein Inspektionsplatz montiert werden. Er ermöglicht die manuelle In-Line-Prüfung von Leiterplatten im Verlaufe des Transportes von einer Station zur Nächsten.
Mit dieser Option wird ein MIMOT Track MT 60-Modul wie folgt erweitert:
- Ergonomisch konstruierte Arbeitsfläche mit Armauflagen für ermüdungsfreies Arbeiten
- Ablagemöglichkeit für Kontrollhilfsmittel in optimaler Arbeitshöhe
- Lupenleuchte
- Ausleuchtung der Arbeitsflächen
- Programmierbarer Kontrollstep des Leiterplatten-Transportes
Board Magazine Lifts
The loader magazine lift automatically takes the boards out of the magazine and provides them to the next segment via a conveying belt. The integration of the board extractor into the conveying belt module brings enormous space savings. Magazines can be exchanged quickly and comfortably.
The unloader magazine lift automatically takes the boards from an out-feed belt and stores them in a magazine. The integration of the board pusher into the conveying belt module brings enormous space savings. Magazines can be exchanged quickly and comfortably. Due to the pusher-design, no magazine clearance slots are required below the board.
The magazine lifts can even be operated in reversal mode. Using a combined in-feed/out-feed belt segment, boards can be taken out of a magazine slot for placement operation and after assembly they get pushed back into the magazine via the same belt segment.
Board Magazine Lift TWIN
The MIMOT board magazine lift TWIN can be operated either as loader or as unloader or for bidirectional loading/unloading from one end of the line.
Due to its high loading and unloading capacity it is perfectly suited for lightly-manned shifts or if pass and fail boards are to be separated automatically.
Board Destacking Unit
The MIMOT board destacking unit is designed to add to MIMOT board magazine lifts. This unit permits loading of an assembly line with stacked boards. Using the MIMOT board destacking unit customers can automate the expensive and time consuming task of manually separating piled-up boards.
Can be combined with standard and TWIN loaders. The destacking unit doesn’t require extra footprint.
Board Rotation Station
The MIMOT board rotation station allows for changing the transport direction e.g. by 90 degrees. Key benefits are improved area utilization, better overview over the entire line and increased efficiency through minimized legwork.
Combining two assembly lines into one reflow oven or separating PASS/FAIL boards after an AOI inspection are just a few possible applications of the rotation station.
Board Buffer Station
The MIMOT board buffer station provides temporary first-in first-out (FIFO) storage of boards within a production line.
To ensure communication with SMT placement machines the magazine lifts are equipped with SMEMA interfaces.
