| Count on AMI to enhance your productivity. Our automated handling systems will help you boost profits and provide better service to your customers by optimizing your processing and production procedures. Add the new MTF-B01 Buffer to your production line.
Flat Substrates, Solar Cells
We offer a broad range of modular substrate handling equipment designed to support your printer, dryer, furnace, or other production equipment such as die and wire bonding systems, resistor trimmer systems, automated test systems, laser scribing systems, etc. Â Our systems are compatible with most substrate production and processing equipment.
To select the modules that will fit your requirements, take a look at the flow diagram below: |
| The light green functions are provided by AMI automated substrate handling modules. These modules can be grouped into 3 categories: |
|
Loading/Reloading Modules (functions 1 and 6 on the diagram) |
|
Â
Modules: MTF-CxF, x-cassette loader
MTF-CxR, x-cassette reloader
MTF-SxF, x-magazine loader
MTF-SxR, x-magazine reloader               Â
 |
We make modules to handle either partitioned cassettes or stacked cassettes (magazines). From 1-5 cassettes can be accommodated at a time; parts in magazines are handled by vacuum lift from a pick-and-place head, while parts in partitioned cassettes are handled on the bottom side by either O-ring or by walking beam transport. Cassettes are automatically indexed up and down; modules with multiple cassettes have new cassettes automatically move into place when empty (Loading) or filled (Reloading). A full set of sensors keeps track of substrate position and cassette capacity. If alarm conditions are met, audible and/or visible alarms will sound and the module will halt. |
|
Collocators (function 3 on the diagram) |
Modules: ACL-68C, for large substrates
ACL-78C, for smaller substates
MTF-ACL, general purpose, belt transport, requires loader
STF-OL, general purpose, O-ring transport, includes 2-cassette loader |
A word that describes a module that takes a single file stream of parts and arranges them in evenly spaced rows for dispensing onto a belt (as for drying or firing). A full set of sensors keeps track of substrate position. If alarm conditions are met, audible and/or visible alarms will sound and the module will halt. Parts are transported by O-ring, by belt, or by edge grip depending on the part and the application. |
|
Conveyor Unloaders (function 5 on the diagram) |
Modules: MTF-M2ME, general purpose, belt transport, requires reloader
STF-OUL, general purpose, O-ring transport, includes 2-cassette reloader |
These modules perform the opposite function of the collocator: they take rows of parts and queue them up single file for presentation back to a Reloader. A full set of sensors keeps track of substrate position. If alarm conditions are met, audible and/or visible alarms will sound and the module will halt.
Parts are transported by O-ring or by belt depending on the part and the application. |
