Solution Description
The concept of a proprietary solder placement
system is to have a central computer compiling all
the data and to provide real time monitoring for the
users. Advantech’s UNO-2160 is a compact and
fanless computing platform with two PC/104 slots
allowing high expansion abilities. It has no moving
parts and excellent vibration resistance. Usually
older compact computing platforms are designed
as proprietary systems, which create bottlenecks
when connecting to MES system from isolated to
integrated automations. Therefore, UNO-2160 will
not only allow higher flexibilities, but also generate
larger data processing abilities.
The role of an embedded motion control card is to
accurately control the solder printer. The printing
precision and motion are very critical in the soldering
process. They do not allow any movements that will
cause inaccuracies. Therefore, we recommended
Advantech’s PCM-3240 for this solution. It can
provide 4-axis pulse-type servo or stepping motor
control, and moreover, its compact size can be fitted
inside the chassis of an UNO-2160, yet provide the
same functions as a standard industrial computer
and plug-in motion control card.
PCM-3240 has 12 channels of digital input and 16
channels of digital output which allow high bits for
highly precise motor and sensor controls.
Conclusion
With the combination of Advantech’s UNO-2160 and PCM-3240, having a highly precise and reliable
solder ball placement system is made possible. In terms of users’ point of views, real-time monitoring
and data storage allow higher quality control. On the other hand, anti-vibration and a large number of I/O
channels decrease the errors and increase the expansion capabilities for the future. There are also few
more benefits using these two Advantech products.
