What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Assembleon MC 1 is a pick-and-place machine used in surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly. Pick-and-place machines retrieve electronic components from feeders and position them onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) with high speed and accuracy.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A pick-and-place machine operates by using a placement head that moves along a gantry system over a PCB. The head picks components from feeders using a vacuum nozzle, aligns them optically, and places them at designated locations on the board. Component feeders are loaded into slots and can be swapped using carts to reduce changeover time.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In SMT assembly, pick-and-place machines are positioned after solder paste printing and before reflow soldering. The MC 1 takes boards with solder paste applied, places components onto the paste, and then the assembly proceeds to a reflow oven to form permanent solder joints.
