Solution Description

The purpose of a dispenser is to enhance mounting

large-sized components on SMT/PCB boards.

When a SMT/PCB board is on a move through the

assembly line, there is a tendency that the large

components may shift out of the position. Therefore,

the glue from the dispenser between the board and

components are used to ensure an accurate and

stable placement.

Before any glue can be implemented, the sensor

needs to detect the order of the board for traffic

control. Furthermore, it ensures the perfect

orientation for the components on the board

avoiding the future short or open circuit problems.

With Advantech’s PCI-1756, a variety of sensors

can be implemented possible. It allows a large data

flow between stations, and more external controls

are enabled.

For the central control, Advantech’s PCI-1240U is

the best choice for the job. It not only allows a variety

of motion movements for gluing, but also keeps

tracks of traffic control. Large data flow of the I/O

and the device itself will not be a problem. Moreover,

the control card is PC compatible which also means

a large expansion capability.

Conclusion

As technology thrives, the role of the dispenser is

necessary in the process of manufacturing SMT/PCB

boards. With the help of Advantech’s automation

solution, the combination of PCI-1756 and PCI-

1240U can support the needs of a dispenser and

fully operate to its maximum efficiency.
