Axial Insertion machine Competitive Analysis – Amistar AI-6448 vs Universal 6241D

This paper compares Amistar’s Model AI-6448 Inserter/Sequencer and Universal’s Model 6241D VCD/Sequencer machines.  

Amistar Corporation, head quartered in San Marcos, California, is a small company – 154 employees and ~ $20 mil in annual sales.  Both resources and exposure are limited and Amistar predominantly sells via representatives.  To my knowledge, manufacture of the Amistar Model AI-6448 was discontinued approximately 7 years ago.  Because of this, current information about Amistar is limited.

Amistar advertises the AI-6448 on their web page as follows:

The Amistar AI-6448 is a fully automated Axial component inserter. 

Stand alone automation: sequences & inserts in one operation 

Cycle rate of 9,600 insertions per hour 

Capacity: 64 cartridges, 88 reels 

Automatic optical position correcting via PCS (Position Correcting Servo) 

Axial component verifier 

Lead protrusion inspection 

Microprocessor control 

Easy to program 

Easy to use

Amistar’s approach to axial insertion with their model AI-6448 is very different from Universal’s.  Axial lead components are cut at the dispensing head and dispensed down a tube via free fall (gravity) compressed air. The component is then recaptured at the transfer station for eventual insertion into the PCB.  The Amistar machine has capacity for 88 reels and 64 cartridges, but no ammo pack capability.  Each cartridge is kitted off line and capable of handling a maximum of 75 components.  Some customers believe this feature works well for small production runs, although it does add another preparation step to the process, as well as additional component handling, which increases the potential for component damage and or errors.

Other differences from the method in which Universal handles axial components include the way in which components are centered.  Amistar centers on lead end instead of the component body.  This can lead to components being cut off-center and consequently effect insertion reliability.  

In order to utilize the AI-6448’s method of transferring components to the insertion area, the positioning system is very low to the floor making it difficult to maintain and/or access.  Universal FE’s have had the opportunity to evaluate AI-6448’s installed at customer locations and have reported concerns with the durability, accuracy and repeatability of the rotary table.  

While the Amistar Model AI-6448 can be equipped with board handling, the method utilized is limited to stand-alone applications, not allowing for pass-through or in-line capability and takes up a lot of floor space.  

In the past, Amistar has sold the AI-6448 when the prospective customer is interested in combined sequencing and insertion and price is a major factor.  Typically, the price of the AI-6448 is much less than the 6241 in a similar configuration (similar in a sense that there are similar number of inputs).  When speed, capability and machine performance are added to the equation, the AI-6448 is not as attractively priced.  Because Amistar has not manufactured the AI-6448 in 7 years, no current pricing information is available to us.

Universal’s 6241D is still manufactured and design development activities continue to enhance and improve the machine as part of Universal’s ongoing commitment to the through-

hole market.  In addition to the items listed above, recent enhancements in the Model 6241D product line include:

Axial Tech Advisor is available which provides Operators and Maintenance Technicians on-line, menu-driven diagnostic information and assistance on machine operation, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair at the time of need.  It is available in English, Chinese and Spanish.

Newly designed jumper wire dispensing system provides fast, reliable and accurate wire feed and accommodates .45mm to .6mm wire diameters

Newly designed dispensing heads are easy to operate, greatly extend life of wearable parts and allow for quick changeover with minimal scrap.

The 6241D now offers a low-level Sequencer Add-On Module for easy reach loading.  It features low part sensing to alert the operator before parts are depleted, allowing replenishment without interrupting machine operation, removable end scrap bins for easy clean out, and refire is offered on each dispensing head.

Precision WBH’s, both adjustable and fixed are available.  Universal can also accommodate Amistar WBH’s.   

The 6241D contains a 4 color light tower which signals machine operating status.

New and improved board handling increases system reliability, ease of PCB changeover and ease of assembly. (See SH BHS Improvements Presentation).

Newly designed 5mm tooling is now available for increased reliability, longer life and better handling of bent lead component input.  (See 5mm Tooling Improvements Presentation).  Customers have told us this tooling lasts three times longer than the old style tooling

Universal offers a AAA version of the VCD Sequencer machine that is capable of inserting 26mm input.

The 6241D is CE marked to meet all European health and safety standards.

While Universal does not offer conversion software for converting Amistar pattern programs, the Amistar programs could be treated as CAD data and translated via the CAD translator available in PPU.  If your prospective customer would like to supply us with one of their programs and briefly explain the fields, we will review the program and offer suggestions for performing the translation.

And last, but not least, Universal offers a support infrastructure which includes a knowledgeable and experienced Field Service organization, world wide Training Centers and Parts Distribution Centers as well as an extensive installed base.     

Auto Insertion machine Tooling Design vs. Range of Inserted Component Wire

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Do you have customers who are willing to simplify the Axial automated insertion process, speed up machines, lower preventative maintenance (pm) downtime and ppm levels and generally reduce manufacturing costs?  If so, then this paper may interest you.

Universal Instruments Corporation is currently working to customize tooling for customers who have evolved their manufacturing processes to two and three step processes for Axial insertions, thereby dedicating machines to run a limited range of components.  In step one for example, a machine inserts only 5mm insert spans and then in step 2, a second machine inserts various wire diameters.  This is a radical change from the current manufacturing philosophy of fully populating a board in one pass through a machine.  However, history has shown that by limiting the range of wire diameters inserted and then designing tooling to specifically handle that range, the manufacturing process becomes more controlled, insertion performance improves, pm downtime and ppm levels decrease and ultimately, manufacturing costs decrease.

Admittedly, this approach is not viable for every customer.  Universal offers a variety of tooling configurations that if used according to specification, will provide excellent insertion performance.  A customer may have no need to run a wide range of wire diameters or they may want to revisit their manufacturing process to make improvements.  For those customers, Universal offers customized tooling for dedicated applications.  Customized tooling will handle a limited range of wire diameters to optimize insertion performance and maximize tooling life.

This paper discusses the relationship between tooling design and  wire diameter range of inserted components with the goal of creating an awareness and understanding of this relationship and it’s significance.

2.0 FACTORS AFFECTING THIS RELATIONSHIP

2.1 Depth of V-Groove of Outside Former

One important factor affecting the relationship of tooling design and range of insertable wire diameters is the depth of the V-groove of the Outside Former.  Our current specifications for Axial tooling are as follows:

* Not entire width but dimension from edge of Driver Tip to side of Outside Former

When the wire diameter is smaller than the depth of the V-groove of the Outside Former, the lead has excess space and moves within the V-groove.  This uncontrolled condition leads to a ‘weak’form. 

 

 

 V-groove with Small Lead Diameter

When the wire diameter is larger than the depth of the V-groove of the Outside Former, the yieldable Inside Former flexes to make room for the bigger lead.  Continual flexing causes the O-rings to wear out which leads to a ‘sloppy’Inside Former and ‘weak’forms.  Outside Formers have been known to split at the V-groove from continual stress.  Long term, continual flexing will damage the Tooling Housing by loosening it and making it ‘sloppy’.  

 

 

 V-groove with Large Lead Diameter

The optimal condition is wire diameter equal to the depth of the V-groove of the Outside Former.  In this condition, the lead is large enough so that is does not ‘move’within the V-groove, and yet it does not continually flex the Inside Former.

 

 

 V-groove with Optimal Lead Diameter

When Standard tooling is compared to 5mm tooling, it becomes clear why 5mm tooling is less reliable when inserting components with large lead diameters than Standard tooling.

.015”- .028”(0.39mm – 0.72mm)

The depth of the V-grooves vary by .010”(0.26mm) and yet the range of wire diameter is very similar.

2.2 Radius of V-Groove of Outside Former

Another factor is the radius of the V-groove of the Outside Former.  The V-groove is actually a radius of .016”(0.41mm) for all tooling types except large lead tooling which is .019”(0.49mm).  Because this is a radius, not a diameter, the optimum lead size for this size radius is .032”(0.82mm)  This radius creates a situation that allows a small wire diameter to ‘roll around’or be uncontrolled in the groove.  A true V-groove improves this condition by creating a 2 point contact.  

 

 

One Point Contact

Two Point Contact

 

2.3 Body Length to Insertion Length

Body length to insertion length is another critical issue in this discussion.  The bigger the gap between the component body and the bend of the lead, the more room there is for the insertion tooling.  As the Driver Tip descends, it can damage a component body that is too long for the specified insertion span.  Clearance is also needed for the Inside Former coming beneath the bend of the lead.  A bend too close to the component body can also cause damage.  Maximum body length is obtained with the following formula: 

Programmed Z-Span = Insertion Span + 1 Lead Diameter

Maximum Body Length (clearance between Driver Tips)

= Insertion Span + 1 Lead Diameter – 2 x Depth of Outside Former V-groove – 2 x Driver Tip Thickness 

Do not use components with body lengths at the maximum length.  Allow .020”(0.51mm) on each side of a component body for clearance and to account for tolerances.

2.4 Driver Tip Position

During a component insertion, the Driver Tip rests on the horizontal surface of the lead.  When a lead has a ‘weak’form, the Driver Tip rests on top of the bent portion of the lead.  As the Driver Tip tries to push a component through the holes of the pc board, it has a tendency to ‘slide off’a lead, leading to a standup or failed insertion.  This is true of 5mm tooling because of its small Driver Tip.

3.0 SUMMARY OF ABOVE CONDITIONS

· Wire diameters significantly smaller than the depth of the V-groove of the Outside Former are uncontrolled within the V-groove.  This is caused by one point contact and excess space, which leads to a ‘weak’form and poorly controlled insertion.  Small lead components without a ‘crisp’form are also at risk of misinserting because the Driver Tip may ‘slip off’the lead, while pushing it through the pc board.  This condition is seen most often with 5mm tooling.

· Wire diameters significantly larger than the depth of the V-groove of the Outside Former continually flex the yieldable, Inside Formers causing premature tooling wear-out of the Inside and Outside Formers as well as other parts of the tooling.

· Acceptable component body length varies with Z-span, but clearance is required for the Inside Formers and Driver Tips during insertion so the component body is not damaged. 

4.0 OPTIMAL CONDITIONS

To optimize insertion performance and maximize tooling life, it is best to limit the range of wire diameters inserted with any tooling selection, keeping in mind the optimal wire diameter is the same size as the V-groove of the Outside Former.  For example, if the wire diameter range of a particular application is .018”- .022”, a .020”V-groove is optimal.  This eliminates the problems mentioned above and allows optimal tooling life, process control and low insertion ppm.  

Making use of the squeeze function when writing pattern programs can also help.  If a component lead diameter is small in relation to the V-groove of the Outside Former, the squeeze function can improve a ‘weak’form.  The squeeze function is also useful when inserting steel leaded components as they tend to have a memory after the forming process.  It also helps insert components with long bodies and a small insertion span.

Allow clearance on each side of a component body so there is room for the insertion tooling.

Consider dedicating a manufacturing line to a particular application for optimal performance and then customize the tooling for a small range of wire diameters.  Universal offers customized tooling for dedicated applications.  Customized tooling can include the following items, as needed:

2 point contact in V-groove of Outside Former based on an optimum lead diameter

Increase size of Outside Former footprint for a more robust design

Improved bent lead input insertion capability

              A common fault handling of reflow soldering is analysed


Reflow soldering heat alarm prompt temperature difference is too big or too small, in the process of computer tip ‘communication failure can’t start the machine, according to the two kind of phenomena, we had a lot of test and analysis work, draw the following conclusions:

1, in the process of reflow soldering heat suddenly alarm prompt “temperature range of a certain temperature too low or a certain temperature and set temperature difference is too large”.
Aiming at this phenomenon, we can preliminary judgment fault will occur in the heating or part overheating protection, and so will all overheat protection switch sub let its failure, and start the machine, found that seems to be normal.After further analysis, under the condition of the overheating protection switch sub machine can work, but in the event of heating, the temperature rise too high a less protection of defense, will bring more serious consequences.In order to solve this problem, we must put 16 from heating unit to find out one or several thermal protection switch failure, we will each heating unit with this problem apart, examine its overheating protection switch, found problems the second heating unit overheating protection switch, with a moving contact bimetallic strip fixed weak, cause the moving contact and the static contact point contact is not good, or not at all contact (normally two contacts should be contact together and conduction).Because there is no the second heating unit of the spare parts to replace we will switch sub to ensure production run smoothly.To this can solve the problem, but as soon as possible to the broken overheating protection switch is off, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the second heating unit.

2, if the downtime is longer, when it turns switched on again reflow computer tip ‘communication failure and can’t start the machine for a long time to let the heat.
Aiming at this phenomenon, we preliminary suspect as the communication line fault, then replaced the telecommunication lines, the question remains, so denied this conjecture.After further observed, when the communication is not successful, the lights on the status of the controller is not normal, orange lights should be flashing, and should not go out.Based on manual measuring line 1001 and line voltage between 1007 found that the voltage is not constant for the + 5 VDC, about + 2 VDC when communication is not successful, the problem is out of here, why the voltage is too low, the original control panel in the end of the machine here are two simulated load resistance, resistance ought to be ‘5’R , but actual value only two ‘2’R, but I have measured the value to change it into ‘5’ R problem is resolved.

3 points development trend of SMT LED machine



                        

                THE DEVELOPMENT TREND OF THE LED MACHINE

  


The LED pick and place machine play an important role in manufacturing process, is the contemporary mainstream electronic assembly technology investment the largest and the most advanced production equipment, the production ability of SMT production line, and the greatest influence the efficiency of production equipment. In fact, the most fault, speed bottleneck largely from patch the process, so the development of the placement machine equipment is the most conspicuous. Currently has the number of SMT machine and advanced level, has become a corporate, regional, or national key symbol of electronic manufacturing capacity. Facing the current development trend of the placement machine under declare as follows.

1? the LED pick and place machine is developing toward the higher precision

Placement machine precision is refers to the placement machine X, Y axis navigation movement of the mechanical precision and Z axis rotation accuracy. SMT machine adopts precision mechanical and electrical integration technology control the mechanical movement components will crawl out from the feeder and after calibration institutions for the precise and reliable loaded on the circuit board. In order to produce the products with higher performance, first of all, facing a major challenge is more likely to improve placement accuracy of SMT machine. Below from the LED process began to speak with a higher accuracy of the LED placement machine could have LED the revolutionary impact of production in the future.

With the launch of the flip chip bonded technology, both are linked together by more stable metal convex welding ball to connect, saves the cost and greatly improves the reliability and the cooling capacity. Leads have the advantages of long service life, cooperate with the flip chip bonded technology is better than the traditional packaging technology of gold wire interconnection can play the advantages of LED, LED inversion welding technology, to realize the single chip and multichip module without gold line, solid crystal gel encapsulation, high brightness, high luminous efficiency, high reliability, low thermal resistance, good color uniformity, and many other advantages.

LED no gold wire packaging industry commonly known as the “packaging” encapsulation “free”. This process is to use the flip chip and PCB SMT joint directly, SMD encapsulation process is omitted, the flip chip directly with SMT method on the joint to the circuit board or bearer, because the chip http://www.onlinepharmacytabs.com area is far less than the SMD components, so the process need to be very sophisticated design.

LED placement machine in improving accuracy of future conditions on the basis of applied directly to the flip chip packaging process, it will be little revolution LED process, can save a lot of packaging costs, and greatly improves the production cost and shorten the production cycle, really high performance LED products to enter the general lighting market at low price. Will the LED placement machine directly applied to the LED process, very has the potential to become future technology trends.
