Used CHRISTOPHER NSpec F18 #9075499 for sale

CHRISTOPHER NSpec F18 is a pc board assembly and manufacturing equipment created by CHRISTOPHER Automation for providing PC board design, fabrication, testing, assembly, and repair services. The system is based on an open architecture, and is optimized for industrial applications. The F18 unit is comprised of several integrated modules with all necessary hardware, software, and peripherals needed for process control and integration with external systems. At the heart of the machine is a PC-based control module that combines a highly reliable Intel® Dual Core tool with a high speed Ethernet port and several peripheral control and I/O ports. This module is responsible for controlling a complete range of operations from board design and layout to process testing, assembly, and repair. The asset's development environment enables rapid development and integration of custom board designs and fabrication processes, as well as provides reliable and repeatable integration with existing systems. The other modules offered in the F18 model include an automated pick-and-place module, a machine vision inspection module, and a thermal transfer station. The pick-and-place module is designed to rapidly position, orient, and assemble components with optimal accuracy, while the machine vision inspection module performs 3D imaging of a component's features before and after assembly. The thermal transfer station enables automatic application of thermal labels to components and components substrates. The F18 equipment's highly modular and inter-operable design enables it to be customized according to the customer's needs. Each module has its own customizable interface and supporting user manuals, allowing the customer to easily adjust the system for their application. Additionally, the unit has comprehensive safety and security features and provides process validation and traceability. The F18 machine provides customers with a reliable, robust tool for PC board assembly and manufacturing. It's integrated PC-based control module enables rapid development and integration of equally robust custom board designs and fabrication processes, making it the ideal solution for high-speed, high-precision PC board assembly and manufacturing. Additionally, the asset's modular architecture and inter-operability maximizes the customer's return-on-investment by allowing each module to be adapted to the specific application instead of purchasing a complete model.
