LRT-3000 Robotic Lead Finish System

The LRT-3000 is an ergonomically designed, robotic, lead finish system which integrates high-speed, precision robotic handling with vision assisted, automated trim and form and nitrogen soldering. The robotic head is closed loop servo-driven with traverse speeds up to 84î per second. Total system control and all process recipes are handled through a Windows user interface, including SPC tracking and diagnostic software.

The LRT-3000 Robotic Lead Finish System is an extremely flexible, yet precise, tool for the solder coating of leads on a large variety of electronic components.

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. Material handling and tooling systems are available to handle these fine pitch devices through the trim, form and solder coating processes, then return them to matrix trays, while maintaining co- planarity.

With the appropriate tooling options, the LRT-3000 can process multiple components at a time, to meet high throughput requirements. Even fine pitch devices can be accurately processed up to twelve components at a time with consistency and reliability.

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.
