SMT equipment is developing in the direction of high efficiency, flexibility, intelligence and environmental protection
Improving the production efficiency of SMT equipment has always been the goal of people’s pursuit. SMT production equipment has developed from the past of single equipment to the direction of combination and connection of multiple equipment: from multiple step-by-step control to centralized online control.
Development: From single-line production to dual-line combined production. Therefore, the general trend of SMT development is to develop in the direction of high efficiency, intelligence, and environmental protection. Let’s take the fully automatic SMT placement machine as an example. In order to improve production efficiency and reduce working time, the former new placement machine has developed to a “two-way” placement structure, while retaining the traditional “single-way” placement performance. , Design the conveying, positioning, testing and patching of the PCB into a “dual-channel” structure, and the “dual-channel” can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The “two-way” working mode can shorten the production time of the patch and improve the working efficiency of the machine.
SMT equipment is developing in the direction of intelligence, mainly using computers to operate, improving the degree of automation control, storing and fixing some process parameters, improving the degree of automation of the machine, and stabilizing and improving product quality. SMT is set to develop in the direction of environmental protection. At present, it mainly focuses on the application of no-clean and lead-free solder. Great progress has been made in the process of replacing Chloro Fluoro Carbon (CFC) and eventually phasing out Oone Depleting Substance (ODS). Clean the wave soldering machine. At present, wave soldering equipment and reflow soldering process equipment suitable for lead-free solder are being developed.
