Semi-Automatic Pick & Place System • Precise mounting of fine-pitch components • Optional feeders and component turntable • Pneumatic component placement • Dispensing function • Microprocessor controlled • Optional camera system and vacuum table Easy SMT Assembly The LPKF ProtoPlace S manual pick & place system picks up SMD components via a vacuum from the component tray or from a feeder. Following initial manual positioning fine adjustment is performed using micrometer screw gauges. The component is then safely and accurately lowered by a pneumatic mechanism. In addition to assembly, the ProtoPlace S also works as a dispenser for solder paste, glue, and auxiliary materials. An LCD display and menu-based navigation make operation easy. The optional camera system with color monitor supports the user in precise positioning of high-pin-count components. Accessories The ProtoPlace S can be upgraded with a vacuum table, a component turntable with up to 90 component trays, and a feeder carrier with stick and roller feeders. The microcamera and an LCD monitor are a great help in fine-pitch component assembly, and a compressor and an air pressure controller provide for the necessary pressure for the dispensing function.
