T-300 JEDEC Tray Handling System
T-300 Process Summary |
The operator places a stack of trays onto the input station. Upon receipt of a “start” signal from the user, a tray is automatically removed from the bottom of the stack and fed onto an indexer carriage where it is clamped in place in x, y and z axis. The carriage then advances to an initial pre-programmed position and the system signals the user to begin processing, i.e. marking, inspecting, etc.
When a row, or group of rows, is finished processing, the user signals the handler and the carriage indexes to the next pre-programmed position. A precision ball screw assembly, coupled to a micro-stepper with internal encoder, is used to index the carriage/tray.
Indexing parameters for up to 16 tray matrix configurations can be stored in the T-300 for easy call up, or change, by the user.
When the tray is finished processing, it is automatically transferred from the carriage to the output station, where it is stacked.
As the tray is being stacked, the carriage returns to the input end to receive the next tray, and the process repeats.
