The Powatec Expert II is the successor of the widely known Expert from Essemtec, which, is in use globally at more than 4000 production facilities, labs, and educational institutions. It is an advanced and modular system that fully leverages its plethora of functionalities to ensure the highest precision in SMD assembling. 

Expert II-M


The absolute x-y position system on the cartesian lever, together with the latest software and graphics, provides direct guidance of the placement sequence and a position information accuracy of 0.05mm. The part placement is based on the PCB layout imported by the user via USB stick into the device. A 10” touch display serves as the interface to operate all required process steps. With the motorized turntable, the device will automatically rotate the turntable to the correct picking bin according to the imported PCB project. The latest software also comes with algorithms for quality monitoring which prevent the operator from inaccurately placing parts according to the project parameters.

Ergonomic perfection is provided with detection sensors in the cartesian lever head, which, recognize the operator's intended action. The device will then automatically adjust the nozzle vacuum and display the correct process step on the screen.

Software Package Overview: Expert II-M


Options


Dispenser

A non-integrated dispensing system can be provided to support 5 or 10 ccm cartridges. 

Full Software Package

See "Product Description" tab for list of full functionalities of the Full Software Package

Glass Prism

This option is usually only used when many SOP or QFP should be processed because the Glass prism with work area illumination allows a parallax top view onto the pins of the parts.

The prism is supplied with a specific nozzle set (EXP-S005....EXP-S009)

External Monitor 24"

Includes the monitor support plate and a 1.5m HDMI cable. 
The basic software package supports the use of an external monitor. 

Pick & Place Nozzles


*Nozzles G14 - G30 come included with the main device

Turntable Options


Turntable

 Available with 45 or 90 storage bins for loose components. 

Only one turntable can be mounted at a given time, but an additional turntable can be ordered to reduce downtime of the device simply by exchanging turntables instead of restocking each bin of the mounted turntable. 

Turntable Motor

The motor is either operated by two buttons on the assembly head (basic SW) or automatically by the SW (full package) according to a project import. 

Protective Cover

Available in Plexiglass or Antistatic ESLON

Turntable Locking Mechanism

Locking mechanism for Plexiglass or Eslon cover used to protect parts from falling out while transporting or exchanging turntables.

Feeder Options


Tape Reel Feeder

This device presents components ordered on reels to the user for placement. The protective cover and used tape are diverted away from the user to keep the pick area uncluttered. 

Available for 8mm, 12mm, and 16mm wide reels. 

Universal Stick Feeder

This device presents components ordered on sticks to the user for placement. The feeder enables the user to position the stick so that only the desired number of components are exposed, thus avoiding more components than necessary from being poured out. 

Available for SO8-S028, SO8L-SO28L, PLCC28-PLCC44, and PLCC52-PLCC84.

Short Tape Feeder

This device allows users to use short pieces of tape of varying widths. In applications where large quantities of a given component are not needed or possible, the Short Tape Feeder is a flexible option to handle short pieces of tape that are not on a reel. 

This device contains five slots which support 3x8mm, 1x12mm, and 1x16mm width tapes. It can be mounted directly on the sliding bar, or on a base plate with other feeders. 

Tray Table

The Tray Table is mounted onto the sliding bar of the device and provides a flat surface on which a tray of components can be placed. For applications where the required components are provided on a tray (e.g. a JEDEC tray), this device provides a flat and secure interface to ensure components can be properly picked. 

The dimensions of the tray table are 310mm x 135mm (12.2" x 5.3"). 

Note: when the Tray Table is mounted, there is no space for other feeders. 

Base Plate

Some of the feeder options require a base plate to be in place so that they can be properly installed. These base plates slide onto the sliding bar of the device and provide slots where different feeders can be easily installed and removed, as needed. 

The Long Base Plate contains 12 slots for feeders and the Short Base Plate contains 5 slots for feeders.

Custom Feeders

If your application requires more feeders to be supported, or customization of any kind, contact your Powatec representative to see how we can best support your needs.
