The lontech Systems
carrier plate is a patented. Highly efficient method of capturing and
orienting small ship components to prepare them for the termination
and drying stages of chip production. The silicon rubber plates provide
high-density loading of parts for very high volume chip-processing operation.
Carrier plates are available in a vanity of hole patterns and hole sizes
that are matched to the chip dimensions.
Expically, the plates
are custom fit to each chip size to provide a secure holding force on
the loaded chips. Tight termination endwidth and registration control
and superior cosmetic appear-ance of the parts can be attributed to
the uniform positioning of the chips in the pastes.
The plates can carry as many as 7370 parts and can accommodate miniature
parts. such as 0201 (0503 metric), in special small round hole patterns.
High-volume handling of standard part sizes (such as 0603. 0805. etc.)
is accomplished with various round hole patterns.
The plates are made of aluminum and silicon rubber. Lontech extensive
experience and research with various silicon rubber hybrids have resulted
in the ability useful life of over 3000 termination and drying cycles.
This is equivalent to over million terminated chips for a plate with
a 7370 hole pattem.
The rubber composition can withstand 200oC(392oF)during
the oven-drying cycle. Optimum life and wear reduction are achieved
when using an actual temperature range of 150oC-165oC
( 302oF - 329oF), measured at the plate surface
Maintenance of the plates is minimal, with cleanliness being the primary
concern.
Lontech Systems carrier plates have been used successfully to handle
a wide variety of chip components, such as the following:
- Multiplayer
ceramic capacitors
- Chip
array devices
- Surface-mount
chip thermistors
- Multiplayer
chip varistors
- Multiplayer
chip inductors
- M.E.L.F.'s
- Tubular
ceramic fuses
- Chip
resistors (5-side termination)
- Piezoelectric
actuators
- Ceramic
spacers and grommets
- Piezoelectric
transducers
