Abstract
A new surface mount system that is composed of a lot of miniature manipulators has been proposed for system down-sizing and high speed. In this paper we developed surface mount system consists of new plastic miniature pantograph mechanism made of polypropylene and XY table, which can operate electric device 0603(0.6mm×0.3mm). And we evaluate the system. The surface mount system consists of surface mount machine to pick-and-place electric device and 2 DOF XY table to carry printed circuit board. The surface mount machine consists of the carrying function of injection pantograph mechanism and the function of suction-and-release electric device by vacuum pinset attached on the tip of the pantograph. And we made surface mount machine, 2 DOF XY table, and circuits to control the system as trial machine. We evaluated the trial surface mount system about positioning accuracy, velocity of placing, efficiency of placing and so on.
