MC-1: NEW!

Putting more value into flexibility

Based on the MG-1R, the MC-1 incorporates a significant improvement package, bringing you improved reliability and enhanced maintainability. Flexibility and easy of use is lifted to a new level with the new intelligent electrical feeder, accompanied by default installed tape cutters, which allows the system to pack up to 126 feeders. An optional new nozzle set allows even more tighted interspacing of down to 100 microns.

The new MC-1 combines a high-mix capability with accurate chip and IC shooting, making it the most versatile Pick & Place machines available. It meets a wide range of production needs by being able to handle a broad component mix.

Thanks to a high precision single placement beam that carries eight independent Z-servo controlled heads, the MC-1 provides a perfect balance between chip and IC shooting. It is available in two versions: one with a Flying Nozzle Change (FNC) head for when many nozzle changes are needed and high output is important, the other with a Super Fine (SF) head for use with a wider component range including QFPs, connectors and tall components.

With placement rates up to 19.6k components per hour, the MC-1 is fast. Placement accuracy is 30 microns for ICs. It handles a wide range of components from 0.4x0.2 mm (01005) to large connectors (100x45 mm), fine-pitch and components up to 15 mm tall. The MC-1 holds up to 126 tape feeding positions.
