SMT Assembly
Pick & Place
Surf-Tech has 2 fully automatic Hanwha SM-Series pick and place SMT Lines. One developed for high-volume the main line has a maximum speed of over 70,000 CPH holding over 200 unique reels and 20 matrix trays. Another line being dedicated to small-volume and prototyping all our machines are enabled with both flying cameras for chips and a permanent fixed camera for fine-pitch components. All machines can place to 01005 sized component with an accuracy of 30 microns. Both lines uses line-balancing software, offline programming and inventory management programs to minimize idle time. Lead programmers maintain a SMTA – SMT Process Certifications. Recently we’ve added auto-change out carts, line loaders and all new conveyors reducing job changeovers to minutes and minimizing handling.
Reflow Oven
Surf-Tech uses Heller 1809 reflow oven for all SMT assembly. The 18-zone oven includes appropriate ramp-up, reflow and cool-down temperatures necessary to meet specific board requirements. Due to varying thermal properties of components and PCB’s, all assemblies get custom profiles before assembly with a KIC reflow profiler.
Inventory
Surf-Tech has partnered with Inovaxe delivering smart storage solutions for SMT components. Merged with our pick and place manufacturer, Hanwha, we’re able to maintain electronic inventory counts and locations on all SMT reels. Set-up has never been so easy, just enter the job number on the tablet and the slots light up with the locations of all the reels needed. After initial set-up, the system will pull all needed duplicate reels to be ready when called for. This system allows for true first-in-first-out inventory management.
Not sure how many parts on the reel? No problem, we have an X-Ray reel counter that will check it for you!
