  • Page 4: Mpp1 - Description

    MPP1-VIS - Description MPP1 - Pick & Place Manipulator (Manipulator) is a compact system intended for manual assembling of PCB prototypes or small series PCBs. Assembly head performs a smooth movement in both X and Y axs and therefore it allows the user to comfortably pick the components from the feeders and put them gently on a PCB.

  • Page 7: Placement Of Tape Feeder On The Assembling Desk

    Tape feeder Multichannel tape feeder is a compact device which enables the removal of the covering foil from tapes and picking component. Furthermore it secures the position of tapes while picking the components and it ensures the removal of empty tapes. Flexible pinch plates allow loading the tapes of various thicknesses.
  • Page 8: Feeder Strapping

    Feeder strapping Important: It is recommended to perform this operation on the assembling desk. Always load the strips according to the principle that the strips must be inserted into the feeder from left to right, with the cover foil facing up and the holes in the strip on the far side from the operator. Otherwise the picking of the components will be difficult and the tape foil will deform while winding! Before inserting the tape of SMD components to loading slot, peel the foil to 15-20 mm and insert it...
  • Page 9: Reel Holders

    You can add or replace SMD reels in any phase of assembling. By default, two pieces (one pair) of reel holders are sold as an accessory to MPP1 Reel replacement - turn the shaft so that the safety pin gets into the cut - out and then take out the shaft.
  • Page 10: Stick Feeder

    Stick feeder The IC stick feeders allow the feeding of integrated circuits of various sizes directly from the sticks. Insertion of IC sticks: Remove the Feeder from the assembling desk, put it backside on a flat horizontal surface. Take out the safety latch from one end of the stick so that the integrated circuits do not spill out.
  • Page 11: Mounting Of The Dispensing Head

    Dispensing head Dispensing head allows convenient dosing of glue or solder paste from a 5 or 10 ml cartridge. However, it is necessary to purchase a suitable dispenser. Description: Mounting of the dispensing head Screw the M3 mounting screws into the holes on the assembling head. Insert the dispensing head as far as it goes under the M3 mounting screws heads.
  • Page 12: Vacuum Pump

    The PCB holders can be removed from assembling desk or relocated by pressing both ends together. Side holders Place the PCB holder on the surface of the assembling desk between the side holders. First, slide the tab on one end of the holder all the way into the groove at the bottom of the side holder.
  • Page 13: Using The Vision System

    Using the Vision system assembling small components of size 0402 as well as for precise placing of the integrated circuits with a very fine pitch, a miniature CCD camera is built into the assembling head. The camera has 2 positions and shows either assembling needle or dispensing nozzle. Enlarged image taken at a small angle is displayed on a large 15"...
  • Page 14 Work with the Manipulator The manipulator MPP1 was developed for manual assembling of SMD components. With different types of feeders it is possible to assemble SMD components from strips but also from IC sticks. Before switching on the manipulator, check that all cables are connected correctly and that the vacuum hose is connected to both the vacuum pump and to the manipulator.
  • Page 15: Maintenance

    Maintenance The manipulator does not require special maintenance. Make sure that the round rod of movable armrest is neither covered in dust nor messed with various impurities. It must be kept lightly oiled. Larger impurities (metal or wood sawdust etc.) can damage linear bearing. The assembling needle must be cleaned from solder paste after work, because later cleaning can be problematic if the paste dries up.
