The CX-1 advanced placement system is capable of placing SiP, MCM and other mixed-technology applications. The CX-1 is built on the base of a standard SMT machine, but with highly accurate glass linear encoders. Special software periodically checks and calibrates to ensure ultra-high accuracy. With traditional lines, four machines are necessary; however, with the CX-1, only three systems are used to accomplish the same production levels. The CX-1 addresses the industry challenge of increasing use of bare die and flip chips mixed with standard SMT (such as cell phones, PDAs, etc.). The CX-1 is compatible with existing feeders and line control software (HLC). The CX-1 comes standard with four placement heads. The system offers two modes: high accuracy and standard accuracy. The high-accuracy mode features speeds of 1300 (vision) and 1600 (laser), and an accuracy of ±20µm. The standard accuracy mode features a speed of 11,000 cph and an accuracy of ±40µm.
