This is a modular system built for growth. Stand alone or In-line 12000 CPH placement combined with flexibility and intelligence. The basic machine is complete except for the feeders and printed circuit boards fixture. As soon as feeders are added to the package the machine is ready for production. In the basic configuration the MP-200 has one placement pipette, one component camera and one feeder bank. To increase the placement rate, component range or number of feeders the machine can be upgraded with an extra pipette, camera or feeder banks. This machine beats all competitors on price and performance and can be upgraded when needed.

Years of experience on the high-end market with Pick and Place Systems, DIMA succeeded to design the Modulo range of SMD machines.

The Modulo provides you the latest technologies in CAN Bus interface, Linear encoding positioning system, CCD camera vision for Fiducial recognition and component alignment, highly intelligent feeders, fully programmable Windows® software. Reliable performance for more advanced assembly needs, the "Hybrid" line provides affordable BGA/CSP/Fine pitch placement. The user interface of both the Dymaxion and the Hybrid are based on the same platform and can be connected through network application. Management data is available to offer fully updated information at any time and place to your whole production staff.
The combination of all this makes the Modulo the beating heart of your production line.

The Modulo will place virtually any component: Chip, Melf, SOT, SOIC, TSOP, TNT, PLCC, QFP, BGA, micro BGA, LCC and more from 0.5 x 1mm 0402 Chip up to 45 x 45mm components. (0201 only with extra camera) Featuring a capacity of up to 180 fully intelligent feeders, a placement rate of up to 12000 components per hour, a flexible inline transport system and the state of the art ESI correct place vision system.

Installing extra feeder banks the Modulo can be equipped with 180 feeders. Feeders can be placed at 4 sides around the PCB holder. Or on 2 sides around the transport system. 8 and 12-mm feeders are both 15mm wide so no loss of feeder positions when using 12 mm tapes. Feeder change over is possible without stopping production. Waffle tray feeder for up to 4 tray’s fit. Also a tray sequencer for up to 6 tray’s can be mounted on the back of the machine, with only loss of 15 feeder positions.

The servo motor driven intelligent tape feeders with built in microprocessor carry al information about the loaded components like: package type, quantity, offset, rotation, component name, value and operator alarm level.

Vibratory stick feeders are 60 mm wide, allowing up to 6 lanes of stick adapters. Stick feeder adapters are available for all standard components or can be custom made to your specifications.

The machine is equipped with a, servo motor driven, placement gantry. The servo motor system with linear encoders and a digital motion controller ensure high speed precision placements.

The head is equipped with 4 electronic pipettes for high speed on the fly vision placement of all standard components. Integrated into the placement head are 5 precision CCD camera for fiducial / component recognition, feeder alignment and easy teach in programming. A Large Component Camera is equipped for Alignment of all components. Information from the vision system automatically corrects the components offset in the tape feeder for automatic pick position optimization.

The integrated CAN/CAL bus network together with a WINDOWS® user interface ensures robust and quick programming.
