Ease of use, ergonomics and price performance were the main criteria when developing the Fineline modules. Modules can be combined to create a simple unit where components are placed using a vacuum pipette.

The FP-100 is a manual pick and place system that combines all features of today’s manual pick and place machines in one system. The FP-100 is equipped with the DIMA Easyglide™ X, Y guiding system that allows exact positioning of the pick and place head. The Sensatip™ pick and place head ensures that even difficult components can be picked just by touching the component.

The Modular Fineline systems have to be combined with at least a PCB holder. Depending on the application an extra carousel or a base plate for tape or stick feeders can be added.

Control unit
All required controls are housed in the centre of the Fineline. This brings all controls within reach of the operator and informs the operator about the status of the Fineline.

Pick and place head
The head movement is extremely light and its ergonomic design ensures relaxed placing of components without having to force your hand into an uncomfortable position. The adjustable vacuum is automatically switched on and off by touching the component with the nozzle, pick and place nozzles can easily be changed without tools and components can be rotated over 360 degree.

Carrousel
The carrousel offers place for 45 bins. Normally the unit comes with 25 one compartment C-mos bins and 25 two compartment C-mos bins ( other combinations are possible). This allows you to store up to 90 different components in one carrousel. Carrousels can be changed without tools. The carrousel is covered with a conductive clear PVC cover that opens only one bin to avoid components to fall into another bin.
