Standard nozzles, specialty nozzles and mechanical chucks are also supported. The Odd Form head combined with the Tray Unit LT allows parts up to 1.5” to be placed.
Utilizing the latest advances in vision systems, linear drive technology and the new H24G placement head, the AIMEXIII can place small components with an accuracy of 25um and a rated speed of 35,000 components per hour per gantry (37,000 CPH at 38um accuracy) and can accommodates panels as small as 2” x 2” and as large as 28”x 30.4”, using Automatic Rail Adjustment and Auto Back-up Pin Support.
For High Mix, NPI and prototyping applications, The AIMEXIII offers ultra-fast changeover using gang feeder replacement, electronic feeder verification, GUI program verification and a machine based NPI component teaching tool allowing you to spend your valuable production time building product rather than editing programs.
