Free Opportunity to buy a Universal GSM Pick and
Place machine
If you are building boards by hand or paying
an assembly house big setup costs and
outrageous prices and then suffering long
delivery times then you really need your own
pick and place machine. Or if you already
own a low cost light duty machine and are
tired of adjusting parts by hand, hand
placing the parts it won’t handle or just
fed up trying to make it work then you need
a real machine not a toy. If you buy the
right machine it will make high quality
assemblies saving you time and making money.
You can take control of your manufacturing
process and build boards when you need them
instead of building large batches to get a
better price. While there are several low
cost, light duty pick and place machines
available they don’t work very well. Never
the less first time buyers constrained by a
modest budget are lured by the low price
without a clear understanding of what they
are getting or what they really need.
Perhaps you are willing to compromise
performance, accuracy, reliability and
versatility to get a low price but you
don’t have to.
Buy a Real Machine not a Toy
Universal Instruments headquartered in
Binghamton NY is the largest domestic
manufacturer of pick and place machines.
They are famous for their versatile model
GSM pick and place machine. Produced in
greater numbers than any other it is the
most successful machine of all time. When
other machines were specialized to place a
narrow range of parts the GSM would place
almost anything. Parts as small as 0201’s
(.010 x .020 inches) or connectors beyond 5
inches long are all within range. Every part
goes down with flawless precision. The GSM
is designed to perform unattended in
continuous high volume production it is not
to be compared with limited light duty
machines that struggle to do anything well.
This machine originally sold in systems
costing ½ million dollars or more. Customers
expected a lot for that kind of investment
and they got it. Day after day this machine
would deliver a continuous stream of
flawlessly assembled electronics.
Versatile, reliable and precise the GSM is
an ideal machine for general purpose use.
A
novice buying any pick and place machine
takes on a great risk. A dusty machine
sitting in a warehouse could be missing
parts or have problems that cost a fortune
to repair. Many machines are retired only
when beyond economical repair so look out.
If you can’t see it run you shouldn’t
consider buying it. How will that machine
handle your current and future requirements?
How will you learn how to use that machine?
How long will that take? Any machine worth
having will have software that is feature
rich and capable but not simple, obvious or
self explanatory. Learning it alone by
reading the manuals while not impossible is
certainly impractical. Don’t overlook the
challenge and true cost of mastering the
software.A Truly Unique Opportunity
I am offering you the opportunity I wish I
had when I decided to get into pick and
place machines. The machine we offer for
sale is not under a tarp or in a warehouse.
It is fully functional in our working
production line linked by conveyor to
similar machines. It won’t be moved until
you see it work and buy it. But before we
move it we will provide training for your
personnel to setup your first board. So when
you install the machine in your facility it
will be ready to run ! Unlike other eBay
machines you are buying a risk
free fully
functional package.
A second machine is part of the package.
While the first machine is fully functional
in beautiful condition, the second is ugly
but full of valuable spare parts.
So What’s the Difference?
So what’s different about this machine? The
sophistication of design, the quality of
engineering, versatility and the attention
to detail distinguish this machine among the
low cost light duty machines built off shore
or in someone’s garage. This machine’s
software developed to serve diverse
professional needs is highly refined and
vastly superior to light duty machines. The
machine is built on a strong rigid frame. It
axis’s are driven by closed loop servo
motors with high precision ball lead screws.
The precision of each axis is guaranteed by
1 micron resolution Heidenhain linear
encoders. The value of precision is that you
can place parts directly from CAD data first
time – every time. But now precision is more
important than ever because the new lead
free solder alloys don’t self center
misplaced parts like the old lead solder
did. Low yields and widespread re-work costs
are the reward for poor accuracy.
The head on this machine is the most
versatile and highest precision
multi-spindle that Universal offers. It has
4 spindles and will pick up 4 parts at once
to save time. Each trip to the board will
deliver 4 parts instead of just one. Each
spindle supports a wide variety of nozzles
to handle virtually any type of part. Of
course all motion on the head is closed loop
servo controlled.
Great Vision is the Key to Versatility
Even with a great head and precise
positioning system you still need an
excellent machine vision system to
accurately place parts. Vision processing
software is tremendously challenging and
takes years to perfect so this is where
lesser machines always fall short. Without
great vision nothing works very well. This
machine has two upward looking cameras with
sophisticated lighting systems designed
specifically to illuminate parts. Two
cameras minimize the travel time for any
component, and allow for two different
magnification levels if desired. All
components go over the camera to be
measured. Parts as large as 1.3 inches can
be imaged in one frame, but the machine is
not limited to just one frame, and can
utilize multiple images for large parts. Parts
as small as 0402 are handled by the
currently installed cameras but 0201 parts
require a higher resolution camera. I have
hi-res cameras if you need one. The
versatility of the vision system really
determines the capability of the machine.
This vision system is very versatile and
captures component images while in motion to
save time. Not only does it recognize and
analyze every imaginable standard part type,
it has exotic pattern recognition algorithms
so the user can program it for anything
else. Then in the blink of an eye it
provides an exact linear and rotational
correction to place the part perfectly every
time. It can even find flaws like bent leads
on a QFP package or missing solder balls on
a BGA. You don’t want to trouble shoot or
throw out a complex board just because of a
bent pin or one bad solder connection. It’s
the versatility of the vision that lets you
place headers, DB connectors, USB
connectors, SD card sockets and countless
others in addition to all the usual types.
Remember this machine was designed to run in
an automated production line producing high
quality assemblies around the clock. Hand
adjusted parts would be out of the question
and even a 99.9% success rate would be
woefully inadequate.
While most of your placements can be
achieved with about 4 nozzle types there are
over 700 different nozzle types available.
Most pickup with vacuum but some (called
grippers) actually grip the parts with
little fingers to handle parts without flat
surfaces. The nozzle interface is easy to
replicate so you even make your own custom
nozzles.
You can Place ½ Million Parts per Week
This machine is rated at 5000 components per
hour and will easily achieve that. It’s
based on simultaneously picking 4 components
and placing them on a 16” x 18” board. With
a smaller board you could do even better.
Even if you average only 3000 cph you can
place ½ million parts per week. That easily
meets the needs of many manufacturers.
Unlike low end machines you can increase
throughput and expand feeder capacity by
adding additional machines joined by
conveyor or move up to versions of the same
machine that use the same feeders and same
software with dual beams and heads for
10,000 cph or seven spindle high speed heads
for 20,000 cph.
The machine’s versatility in feeders is
unmatched. It can handle 64 feeders that may
be organized in quick change modules of 16.
There are feeders for almost every
imaginable part. Tape feeders from 8mm to
120mm are available as well as tube and tray
solutions. Feeders are widely available on
the used market and surprisingly
inexpensive.
We need room to expand our GSM production
line and have one machine for sale.
Our GSM machines do an amazing job for us,
they’ll do the same for you.
