An Introduction to Automatic SMT Assembly Line Machines

 

An Automatic SMT assembly line is a common component in many manufacturing processes. The process of automatic manufacturing involves placing machines together to create a product. This type of machine differs from a pick-and-place machine. While a pick-and-place machine will simply place machines together, an automatic machine will also feed components as they are required.

There are many different types of an automatic smt assembly line. In general, the machine will have several different parts that are fed separately through conveyor lines. One part of the line will have a stencil on it, which is what allows machines to know where to place parts. When the correct part is placed in the correct position, the conveyor will pull the individual parts to the next level of the assembly line.

Some types of Automatic SMT assembly line machinery include a pick and place machine, a pick and place printer, and a reflow oven. A pick and place machine will allow an operator to place parts without having to manually place them. When a part is placed in the appropriate slot, the operator will push a button on the machine to activate the feed process. Once the part is fed, it will fall into a chute and then fall again onto another slot, until it falls into a feeding drum. It will then fall into a storage drum.

A pick and place printer will feed components to an assembly line as needed. While it does the actual work, it is used during production to help reduce waste. Instead of producing 10 parts at one time, the printer will only produce one at a time. It feeds components directly into a chute, which is then placed in an electronic components tray. When the desired component is ready to be manufactured, the operator will push a button on the machine to activate the feed process and then turn it off.

An automatic SMT assembly line manufacturing system is ideal for small to mid-sized jobs because of the equipment's ease of use. SMT production lines can be found in electronic components factories, toy making factories, pharmaceutical plants, and medical supply warehouses. The ability to use the line saves companies money because they do not need to hire as many employees to perform manual labor, or pay for onsite cranes or forklifts. Automatic SMT assembly lines are also useful for companies that do not have the budget to purchase their own equipment but still want to be able to produce high quality components on-site. These companies can also reduce their manufacturing costs because they do not need to buy raw materials or hire workers who are not employed by the company.

Automatic SMT assembly lines can be used in conjunction with functional validation systems, which use holographic labels to provide feedback to the worker. When using fvt components with functional validation systems, a barcode scanner is used to determine the location of an individual component. Using software, the barcode scanner can determine if the part is aligned with the foil or if it is out-of-lens. Because it only takes a few seconds to determine if a part is aligned, the fvt production process can be extremely cost effective, even for companies that have several hundred parts.
