Cobra – high-tech for highly fl exible placement

Today, SMD boards are being assembled in increasingly small batch

sizes. Just in time or set productions require completely di� erent

manufacturing methods. It is not just about the placement rate but

about the whole programming and set-up concept. Simultaneously,

today’s machines have to ensure that future component types and

manufacturing technologies can be utilized. The Cobra mounter has

been developed to meet these requirements and represents a

quantum leap in the area of highly fl exible manufacturing for high

throughput.

Leading edge engineering technology, the most feeders per m2 in the

marketplace, intelligent feeders and set-up concepts, the largest board

sizes together with the most compact system sizes and the software

based on “eez-technology“ ensure highly e� cient and economical SMD

manufacturing for service providers and in-house production.

S W I S S M A D E

“ Designed for even more product changes per day,

an even bigger range of components, increasing

requirements for placement accuracy, speed and

availability combined with high quality –

Swiss made – engineering. ”

High-Tech materials are the basis for innovative assembly technologyMachines made in Switzerland

Cobra is being developed and manufactured in Switzerland

according to the highest quality criteria.

Know How

Based on the experience of more than 5000 systems

installed, the pick&place machine Cobra sets new standards

in innovative technology.

Carbon axis

Carbon fi bre composite material is one of the most promi-

sing materials of the 21st century. The Cobra’s X-axis is made

of it, allowing for numerous benefi ts including weight,

reduction, durability and minimized thermal expansion as

well as simultaneously higher dynamic and placement rates

with reduced mechanical abrasion.

S W I S S M A D E

Linear drives with

magnesium heat sinks

Using linear drives on the X and Y axes

has the advantage of highly dynamic

and fast traverse paths, optimum posi-

tioning characteristics and a long

lifecycle as well as allowing for

additional savings in the areas of belt

and spindle attrition. Specially

designed magnesium heat sinks

ensure the motor‘s heat dissipation

with their e� cient heat conduction

and low weight.

Mineral cast

The machine’s chassis consists

completely of mineral composite.

Compared to conventional cast of iron

or steel, mineral composite o� ers the

advantages of better vibration

characteristics and thermal stability.

This combination ensures much

higher precision at faster placement

rates. Additionally, mineral composite

shows an optimal ecological energy

balance for manufacturing as well as

for future recycling.

Motion system

The main axes, X and Y, are designed

as H-portal with coupled Y axes. Each

axis has its own, individually cont-

rolled linear motor with a high-reso-

lution optical length measuring

system, each for ultra-precise and very

fast positioning.

The motion system is constructed as a

real-time system and uses local

control systems that signifi cantly

reduce the number of cables in the

machine and, consequently, minimi-

zes service cost and downtime. The

1GB connection ensures very short

response time by broadband trans-

mission.

Comparison vibration behaviour

One machine for all components

The days of single, dedicated assemblers for quick chip shooting and additional machines for precision placement are now. Cobra mounts all device packages from 01005, QFPs, complex BGAs, QFNs, CSP, bare dies, and connectors to odd shapes up to 50 x 150 mm on a single ma-chine.

S W I S S M A D E

High-fl ex placement head

The eightfold placement head not only

enables ultrafast chip shooting but also

allows high accuracy placement on all

eight axes. Every axis is controlled by

closed loop and a servomotor, all of

which have high-resolution encoders

even on the rotational axes.

Unique transport system

The SMEMA 3-stage transport system

accepts board sizes up to 460 x 640

mm (optional 800 x 640 mm).

Specially developed support pins and

precise clamping ensure perfect

fi xation during assembly. Both

transport rails can be automatically

adjusted and allow for customized

installations depending on board size

and the desired feeder confi guration.

F E E D E R CO N C E P T

Intelligent feeder lanes allow for maximum fl exibility

Feeder/feeder lanes

The Cobra assemblers can use all

former Essemtec feeders. This ensures

downward compatibility and preserves

existing customers’ assets.

Intelligent feeder bus

All machines have an intelligent

feeder bus. Feeders are being logged

on and o� automatically, and all

production data are linked via the

integrated database.

Essemtec’s hyQ-Feeder simplify and fasten setup of component

reels to SMD pick-and-place machines. Regarding speed,

accuracy and reliability, these feeders rank in the world’s top class. They integrate

an active tape pull-back system. hyQ-Feeder are available for 8 and 12 mm tapes.

F E E D E R CO N C E P T

Most feeders per sqm in the marketplaceThe machine o� ers up to 240 feeder

positions. In addition to 120 feeder spaces

at the front and the back, feeders can be

inserted at the left and right side.

Depending on board size, these spaces

may be inserted in front or behind the

transport system as well as in the trans-

port system. In this mode, it is possible to

reach optimum layout and minimum

changeover time.

For the Cobra and Paraquda mounter

series, there are additional ultrafast and

precise feeders available that augment the

placement rate of these models by 20

percent.

Throughput vs. placement speed

The given fi gures for placement speed do not tell much about possible board throughput.

Especially in the area of highly fl exible manufacturing, there are various more signifi cant

parameters that infl uence the attainable results.

Programming (ePlace)

Cobra is the second generation of assembly systems based on “ePlace,” the new software

standard for pick&place machines.

ePlace, the new software designed entirely by Essemtec, is based on the company’s “eez-

technology.” It has been fully developed in .net, uses an integrated database and o� ers a

modern, interactive, intelligent and intuitive tool for controlling all parameters.

Changeover/reloading

The Cobra assembly system has been developed for highly fl exible manufacturing and contains

all functions necessary for set up and reloading with zero downtime. Using a freely confi gurable

CAD converter, whole assembly programs and production optimizations can be developed

o� ine as well as capturing components and allocating feeders.

During operation it is possible to insert, replace or reload and splice feeders. LED indicators on

the feeders ensure that the operator knows exactly how to process the task at hand.

The machine indicates optimal feeder set-ups with the prospective placement speed in order to

achieve optimum process conditions.

Upgrading feeders

All feeders are equipped for quick loading. FLX feeders are available in compact and lightweight

cartridges. The Cobra feeders allow for even faster loading due to an integrated direct haul-o�

of the cover band. This eliminates the need for connecting a tape haul-o� .

Neither system requires expensive guide adapters without longer for short set up times.
