operating the system.
Overview
The C-730 Flux process platform provides automated application of rosin and no-clean
solder fluxes and is available in a batch or in-line conveyorized dispensing system.
Typically, dispensing processes involve each of the critical operations listed below. The
way in which each is accomplished may vary, depending upon system configuration.
Theory of Operation
In this theory of operation, all configurations are considered and included. However, your
detailed system operation may vary slightly, depending on the selected fluid pump and
options.
During operational setup, using SMEMA handshakes, the part enters the system, moves to
the pre-dispense zone, moves to the dispense zone, then exits the system. During
production, the dispensing head is controlled by the Fluidmove software. Dispensing
programs are created using Fluidmove. The vision system, height sensor, and needle sensor
(option) work with the software to provide high-quality dispensing performance. During
dispensing, the fluid is forced pneumatically into the pump from the syringe, can be heated,
then exits through the nozzle or needle. The pump actions are controlled by Fluidmove,
and the heating is controlled by the temperature controller.
For more information on the fluid pump or Fluidmove software, see Section 1 – Getting
Started. For more information on the vision system, height sensor, and conveyors, see
Section 9 – Vision System, Section 10 - Height Sensor, and Section 14 - Conveyors, in this
manual.
