Quik-tool Automated PCB Support

CTI’s Post Vision Workstation offers a solution that is compact, cost effective and eliminates the need to manually remove the board from the conveyor.  The CW-AOI-1.2M presents a novel approach to handling reject boards in-line.

Incorporating a two level pneumatic lift mechanism, the workstation functions as a standard conveyor passing good product between the inspection machine and the downstream machine.  If an

 

Quik-tool Automatic PCB Support Tooling is the ideal choice for manufacturers requiring quick and accurate support tool changeover for their PCB production. With Quik-tool, what used to take 10-20 minutes is now accomplished in under 30 seconds.

Quik-tool runs on the most reliable control system available in either manual or automatic mode, eliminating the need to make manual adjustments when performing product changeover. Operators no longer need to reset and correct support pin locations.  Just set it and forget it.

issue is detected during inspection, a signal is passed to the workstation and the workstation lifts the pcb to the upper level for  the operator to resolve the problem.  Good boards following behind the reject board continue to flow unencumbered beneath the board under repair.  Once the issue is corrected and the operator signals the station to release the repaired board, it is lowered to the main level and passed downstream.

Maintenance worries are a thing of the past. Quik-tool uses high grade, polished stainless steel support pins. The pin locking mechanism is isolated from the shafts to prevent lubricant contamination of the pins. OPTI-FLOW Technology allows you to add or remove modules without making air flow adjustments.

 

Quik-tool beats the competition with 400% greater pin locking force, standard high-density pin pitch and larger pin top support area.

 

Consistent with CTI’s high quality  manufacturing  and design, the workstation includes the following standard features:

Focused on ease of use and cost effectiveness, the automatic support tooling comes in at a very low-cost entry point.

- Dual section conveyor
- E-Stop at Workstation
- Operator Modesty Panel
- Swivel Monitor Mount
- Keyboard Holder
- Light Tower
- Power Strip

- Adjustable Footrest
- Overhead Work Light
- Ground Plug for Operator
- PLC Controls with SMEMA
- Bottom mounted PC Shelf
