LRT-2000 Robotic Lead Finish System

The LRT-2000 is a fully programmable 4 axis, stepper motor driven, robotic lead finish system with traverse speeds up to 10î per second. This system is designed to solder coat the leads on a large variety of electronic components, with specific emphasis on fine pitch devices. It provides a defect-free, cost- effective process for solder coating QFPs, SOICs, PGAs, PLCCs, ceramic LCCs as well today's TAB devices, conformal coated parts and multi-chip modules.

The ability to accept a wide variety of robot tooling and the ease of programming makes the system adaptable to a wide range of different processes and products, for example handling wafers, fusible links and connectors. Minimal transition time is required when changing from one component to another. With the appropriate tooling option, the LRT-2000 can process multiple components at a time, to meet higher throughput requirements. Even fine pitch devices can be accurately processed up to twelve components at a time with consistency and reliability.

The LRT-2000 is typically configured with the load/unload function at one end, allowing the system to be operated by a single technician. Placing this system in-line requires only a programming change to load at the left end and unload at the right end, or vice versa.

The system may be specified to run lead-free alloys with little or no equipment modification. To convert existing machines to lead-free requires only a change in solder module to avoid contamination.
