CSM Electronics houses 3 PMJ's HiSAC odd-form placement machines. These machines deploy a flexible servo gripper placement head that uses different pick-up tool attachments to place a wide variety of odd-form components supplied in almost any feeder format.
The placement head automatically selects the tool it needs to pick up a component, while sensors and a vision inspection cameras are used to verify that the right device is placed correctly. In addition, the HiSAC machine can cut and form components prior to placement and automatically clinch TH legs after insertion to keep components safely in place during the assembly process.
These flexible odd-form placement machines are able to accommodate a wide range of feeders of odd-form components. The main types comprise: radial and axial tape, single and multi-lane tube, cassette and de-stackable tray, conveyor, header reel, loose bowl and custom feeders.
