Mechatronika M10V Pick and Place System with Vision¶
Mechatronika’s M10V Pick and Place System is a versatile automatic machine for placing SMD components from 0201 to 40 x 40 mm with a full vision, touchless component centering.Matured, high quality rigid construction, ease of programming make M10V perfectly suited for small scale production lines and prototyping.
M10V combines mechanical accuracy with high quality pattern recognition system built into easy to use and powerful programming software. M10V excelles in productivity and flexibility, quick change-over and low maintenance requirements.
The very unique feature of M10V is its ability to pickup bulk (loose) components from container-type feeders. M10V built-in intelligent vision system enables to locate required component, pick it up, determine its position on the nozzle head and precisely place it on preprogrammed position. M10V accepts any number of bulk component feeders that can fit within its working space.M10V can be equipped with with the optional glue / solder paste dispensing head

Placing the PCB & Components¶
Placing PCB is prety easy the machine hase a spring loaded clamp the pcb can be placed by manualy pushing the clamp to a side and place the pcb and the spring will retain the clamp when we relaease it if the dimention of the pcb doesint fitinside the clamp we need to unscrew the clamp and udgest the position accordingly.
(The board we are used here is the one we had sent on week 5 to JLC PCB for board house production.)
and we need to place the SMD componets in the trays as shown belove make sure that components should be placed upright as the machine canot flip the componet

Running the Program¶
Dispencing solder paste¶
now everthing is done we can dispence the paste by selecting the green dot on the top and pressing F12 on the keybord.
the machine will start dispencing on the pre difined points of each components.
Placing the components¶
now everthing is done we can start placin the components by simply by selecting the chip with the blue legs on the top and pressing F12 on the keybord.
the machine will start placing the components on the pre difined points of each components as per the csv file.
Soldering¶
the pcb is carefully removed from the clap and used hot air reflow methord to solder the placed components other non SMD components were solderd by using normal lead and soldering iron methord.

Setting up Machine¶
machine have mainly 3 parts a water treatment unit wich filters the water from imputities and cancels out the conductivity of the water to zero.Water cooling unit which basically act as a coolent to the machining and recycles the used water to conserve the use of water. Finally the Water Jet Machine machine uses high pressure water and abrasives if needed to cut the work.
Water Treatment System¶
turn on the machine filtering unit keep the switch position in auto. turn on the voltmeter and doser. make sure there is no warning indicatoers are lighted, check the pressure gauges and water levels. Wait for the cunductivity to reduce to zero.
Water Cooling Unit¶
Check the power supply. Set the temprature in the disply dial. Wait for the temprature to reduce below 16°C. turn on the pump and compressor.
