Philtronics Take Delivery of New SMT Placement Machine Mirae MPS-1020QP

Philtronics Ltd • March 6, 2018

The new machine will be fully commissioned by the end of February. This latest acquisition is part of our continuous improvement plan. Full spec can be found on our website.

Snapshot of capabilities are:

  • Placement speed of 4 components a second.
  • Minimum component size of 0201 (0.02in x 0.01in).
  • Can place Chips, Can Caps, Discrete Tx/Dx, Small ICs, QFP, BGA, CSP, Connectors etc.
  • Placement accuracy of 0.025mm.
  • 4 Precision Placement heads.
  • 90 component feeders.

To compliment this we have also purchased a new Automatic Optical Inspection Machine (AOI), Mirtec MV-2HTL.

This can inspect a single frame in 0.25 seconds (each frame can have between 1 and 10 components). The Component placement, orientation, value, solder joint quality are all inspected. The machine also checks for any solder bridges.
