Interconnect Single Table 8 GS-399-00

Page 1GS-399-00

Universal has combined the proven technology of its Generation8 X-Y Positioning Systems with a variety of insertion heads in theInterconnect Single Table 8 (Model 3785C) for the automatedinsertion of interconnect components.

The Interconnect Single Table 8 is designed to efficiently andaccurately insert a broad range of bulk- or strip-fed components.Each insertion head may be tooled for a specific component type.Different combinations of insertion heads may be mounted overthe work board aperture. Details of configuration options arecontained in this GS.

Introduction

Standard Features

Control System

The Interconnect Single Table 8 employs a control system, in-cluding input power/distribution, VME bus, I/O, and servo sys-tem. Brief descriptions of major elements of this control systemfollow.

Power Input and Distribution

The input power to this machine is 230 VAC, single phase, 15amps, 50 or 60 Hz. All functions of the machine can operateover the range of 47-63 Hz without configuration change. Incombination with the supplied Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS), the machine will accept a wider range of inputs (see“Service Requirements” section) and provide power to run themachine briefly in the event of a short power interruption. Thereare filters on the power lines to prevent machine generated noisefrom getting on the power lines as well as preventing noise on thepower lines from interfering with the machine operation. Themachine has a lockable disconnect switch for safety during ser-vice.

Internal to the machine, the 230 volts is directly used for amplifierpower for the X and Y drives. There is a power conditionertransformer used for converting to 120 VAC for the remainder ofthe machine functions. This includes the fan panels, the powerchassis, the VME chassis, and monitor. This transformer willalso supply 120 VAC for the attached elevators and bare boardloaders.

Page 2 GS-399-00

The power chassis, in turn, provides DC power for machine op-eration. This includes 56 VDC for the board handling motors; +5and ±15 VDC for the I/O box; and 12 VDC for general purposeuse (valve solenoids, sensors, indicators, etc.). The 56 VDC andswitched 12 VDC are disconnected from the machine when in-terlocks are violated. The power chassis also provides 12 VACfor the worklight and 24 VAC for the machine status light andthe interlock circuits.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

Offered standard with the Single Table 8 and external to the ma-chine, the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides continu-ous, on-line power at all times. This eliminates an interruption inpower when transferring to battery power.

Battery capacity at full charge should allow full machine opera-tion for up to 10 minutes after loss of main input power. Duringthis time, the machine should be brought to a controlled stop untilmain power is restored.

VME Chassis

The VME chassis is a state-of-the-art, multi-processor rack-mounted controller. It has an embedded Intel®-based P.C. whichis used for the main operator interface. Attached to it are stan-dard VGA monitor, keyboard, and pointing device. The main ma-chine controller is a 680X0-based unit. This board handles all ofthe machine functions and timing. It does not directly handle themotor control, but does direct the motion controllers.

Two, four-axis intelligent motion controllers are used. These are68000-based dedicated processors. The motion controllers pro-vide speed and destination information to the servo amps, whichdrive the motors. Encoders, tachometers, and resolvers providepositional and velocity feedback to the motion controllers, for pre-cise position control. Three of these motion controllers are usedwith the Loader/Unloader configuration.

As an interface between the VME controller and the machinecontrols, there is a VME/Satellite interface board in the chassis.This connects to the I/O box using a Universal MIT cable. Thesequencer module I/O is interfaced to the controller with anMMIT interface board installed in the VME chasis.

Page 3GS-399-00

Input/Output Box

The I/O box has a standard Universal MIT card in slot 1, whichis the interface to the VME controller. The I/O box contains twoMulti-Input cards, two 32 DC Output cards, a Board Error Cor-rection card, and, for machines with board handling, a 32/16I/O card. An additional 32 DC Input card and 32 DC Outputcard are used for machines with the Loader/Unloader configura-tion.

Push Button Panel

The PB panel includes the Emergency-Stop switch, cyclecounter, the Interlock Reset button, the Start and Stop buttons,the Override or Transfer Error button, Interlock Bypass KeySwitch, and up to three cycle counters, depending upon configu-ration. All other machine functions are accessed through thegraphical user interface via the keyboard, trackball, and monitor.

CAD Data RequirementsASCII File Format — Incoming CAD files must conform tothe American National Standard Code for InformationInterchange (ASCII). In order to accommodate a widevariety of CAD file formats, the APE uses either a genericcolumnar or separator data translation technique. All datacontained in the CAD file is identified by a position in adefinition created by the user.

CAD File RequirementsX Coordinate: The X centroid coordinate location on theboard.

Y Coordinate: The Y centroid coordinate location of thecomponent insertion.

Theta: The rotation of the component on the board.

Insertion Lead Span: The distance between thecenterlines of the component leads.

Reference ID: The name assigned to the component whichmakes it unique to all other components in the product.

Component ID: The name of the component as it is foundin the component database.

Alias ID: The name of a component in the database towhich this component is aliased (optional).

Feeder: The number of the feeder from which thecomponent is dispensed. This is a three-digit number (001,117, etc.). If the feeder field is used, the feeder numbers areautomatically entered into the feeder list when the CAD fileis imported.

BOM-CAD Link: A user-defined alphanumeric stringwhich links a line of data in the CAD file to a component IDin the Bill of Material (BOM) file.

Ignore: If the CAD file contains data that does not fit anyof the fields, it should be identified with IGNORE.

A sample CAD file format is given with a brief explanation.This file format is provided for reference only and is anexample of a typical CAD output.

Centroid (Top View)

Page 7GS-399-00

This is a typical CAD file which may be output from a wide variety of different CAD systems.

This file includes SMC and IMC information, with component information stored for the IMC components.The component information for Surface Mount components will be obtained from the master .DEF files.IMC component information will be obtained from this file and placed into the Component Library.

Information in the CAD file:A = REFERENCE DESIGNATOR F = SPANB = X COMPONENT CENTROID COORDINATE G = NUMBER OF LEADSC = Y COMPONENT CENTROID COORDINATE H = AXIAL BODY DIAMETERD = ORIENTATION I = MACHINE TYPEE = PART NUMBER/COMP ID J = DIP SOCKET

K = AXIAL LEAD DIAMETER

Page 8 GS-399-00

Sample CAD File Format Notes1. Maximum file width can not exceed 256 columns.

2. Headerlines, often output by the CAD system, may be used.The CAD Translator allows the user to define the quantity oflines containing the file header. This information is foroperator use only and is not used by the CAD Translator.

3. Format Type: The format of file. This can be either Tableor Separator format (Table is the default).

Table format uses predefined columns for each data type. Forexample, the reference ID column may be defined as 10 characters.The actual reference ID in the CAD file can contain up to 10characters. It does not matter if there is data in every column.

Separator format uses a character (comma, space, dash, etc.) toseparate data fields. Each line of data must contain the samedata types in order for auto detect to work.

# of Fields: The number of fields in the file.

# of Lines: The total number of lines in the file.

4. The CAD file must be devoid of all special control characterssuch as Tabs. (Note that special characters shown are forillustration purposes only and cannot be contained in theactual CAD file. These characters include boxes, arrows.)

5. CAD data is limited to one component per data file line orrow. Additional components are specified on additional linesof the CAD file. There must be no blank lines or rowsbetween any rows of CAD data. Markers such as {EOF}must not be present at the end of the CAD file.

Additional APE Features• Import of Existing UICS Patterns — UICS patterns are

converted to IM-UPS products.

• Program Optimization — Optimization via “NearestNeighbor” insertion path.

• Component Identifier and Reference Designator in ProductInformation — The addition of component identifier andreference designator in programs supports improved statusmessage reporting and management data tracking bycomponentidentifier.

Page 9GS-399-00

Off-Line Pattern ProgrammingSpecificationsThe creation of a “product” (pattern program) can be completedon-line, utilizing the machine’s embedded P.C., or off-line, using asuitable stand-alone P.C. loaded with IM-UPS software.

Note: IM-UPS software supplied with the machine is licensedonly for use in the machine. Software for an off-line P.C.is available as an option at extra cost.

Universal recommends that pattern programming be generatedoff-line to eliminate production interruptions. The stand-aloneP.C. and IM-UPS software for off-line pattern program genera-tion are not standard features of the machine, but can be pur-chased as extra cost options.

Minimum P.C. requirements for creating the product off-line(pattern programming) include:• 486 processor

• 12 megabyte memory

• CD-ROM drive

• IBM OS/2 Warp 3.0

• 200 megabyte available disc space, on OS/2-compatiblepartition

For optimum performance in generating the pattern programmingoff-line, the following capabilities are recommended:• Intel Pentium® processor

• 16 megabyte memory

• 500 megabyte available disc space, on OS/2-compatiblepartition

Note: Installation of OS/2 on an existing P.C. system may re-quire partitioning of the hard drive.

Page 10 GS-399-00

System Mechanics

X-Y Positioning SystemThe X-Y positioning system locates the printed circuit board un-der the insertion tooling and is equipped with a rotary indexingtable that indexes in 90° increments, from 0° to 360° in a clock-wise rotation. This rotary table is air motor driven under patternprogram control and requires less than one second to executeeach 90° rotation

The X-Y positioning system employs high performance brushlessmotors, with integrated encoder feedback. The system is con-trolled by the 680X0-based motion controllers. Automatic belttensioning assures that belts are properly adjusted.

Machine Console/CoversThe machine covers serve two primary purposes. The first is toprovide safety by preventing access to dangerous mechanical andelectrical hazards. The second is to further reduce the soundlevel of the operating machine. It is important that the machinecovers remain in place and fully functional for operational safety.

On Non-Pass Through, manual load machines, the positioningsystem and work board holders are exposed to allow the operatorto load and unload printed circuit boards. There is a hinged coverthat protects the operator from the moving parts of the insertionhead. This cover is interlocked and will stop the machine ifmoved, and is coated to prevent damage from electrostatic dis-charge (ESD).Note: This configuration is not CE-compliant.

On Pass Through, Automatic Board Handling configurations, thecovers completely enclose the machine. The sliding covers onthe front of the machine are interlocked, and are coated to pre-vent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD). To minimizerecovery procedures, the machine should be at a controlled stopbefore opening the covers. Note: This configuration may beCE-compliant, depending on the selection of the Loader/Unloader.

When a head runs out of components, a “pop-up” screen is dis-played on the monitor, indicating which head needs to be re-loaded.

Page 11GS-399-00

Machine Status Light/Audible AlarmThe machine status light/audible alarm indicates the status of ma-chine operation. Each of the lights are user configurable via themachine software. Defaults are set as follows:

• Red - machine stop for any error.

• Yellow - normal operation, machine waiting.

• Green - normal operation, machine running.

• Blue - not configured for Interconnect ST 8.

• Audible alarm - activated for low parts warning.

Page 12 GS-399-00

Optional FeaturesWorkboard Holders

Workboard holders are required to accurately secure PC boardsto the rotary table during the insertion process when manual PCBload/unload is being considered. Universal provides a wide rangeof workboard holder products which can be ordered separately orwith a new machine purchase. For stand-alone operation eithercustom or adjustable fixtures are available with 508mm x 470mm(20" x 18.5") insertion areas.

Note: Insertable area may vary, depending upon head configura-tion.

Automatic Board Handling Configurations

The Interconnect ST 8 machines are available in several materialhandling configurations (left-to-right, or right-to-left):

n Loader/Unloader: Magazine-to-Magazine with Short Buffer(not CE-compliant), or with Long Buffer with extra costcovers (CE-compliant).

n Loader/Unloader: Vacuum Bare Board-to-Magazine withShort Buffer (not CE-compliant), or with Long Buffer (notCE-compliant).

n Loader/Unloader: PCB Destacker-to-Magazine.

• Destacker on 29" Conveyor with Short or Long Buffer(not CE-compliant).

• Destacker on 44" Conveyor with Short Buffer (not CE-compliant).

• Destacker on 44" Conveyor with Long Buffer with extracost covers. Input PCBs, including any installedcomponents, can not exceed 25.4mm (1") thickness (CE-compliant).

• Destacker on 58" Conveyor with Long Buffer with extracost covers (CE-compliant).

n Internal Board Handling System (BHS) - Internal BHS forin-line systems integration is also available. Two PC boards,one for input and one for output, quickly and reliably transfer.Board transfer from last insertion to first insertion on the nextboard occurs in 5.0 seconds. Transfer direction may bespecified when ordering the machine, prior to manufacture,and quick and easy manual width adjustment handles a widerange of PC board sizes. The front fixed rail is standard andall operator PC board changeover adjustments are readilyaccessible.

Page 13GS-399-00

Network Kit

Package for connection includes an Ethernet network card andIBM OS/2 TCP/IP client software. This provides high speed, re-liable communications and data transfer to all computers con-nected to the network.

Host Computer Interface Kit

This kit is used to interface the Interconnect ST 8 with a Hostcomputer using the SECS/GEM Standard. The Generic Equip-ment Model (GEM) Standard defines a standard implementationof the SECS II (Semi Equipment Communications Standard 2)communications interface for all semiconductor manufacturingequipment. See SEMI International Standards document E30-93for details. Note: Requires customer’s Host computer to becompliant with SECS/GEM standard SEMI E37, HSMS, and re-quires the Network Interface Kit.

Remote P.C. Software/Off-LineProgramming

Each base machine includes software licensed only to the ma-chine. Universal recommends that “product” programs be cre-ated off-line to ensure maximum use of machine production time.This off-line software is licensed for use on a P.C. whose basicconfiguration is as shown in the “Off-Line Pattern ProgrammingSpecifications” found in this document.

Remote P.C.

The Universal Control Terminal (UCT), using optional IM-UPSsoftware, allows a Universal approved personal computer to beused as an intelligent terminal. It is connected to the Intercon-nect ST 8 via the optional Network Kit. This package includes avisual display terminal, keyboard, data storage unit, printer andstand, cable assembly, and manual. For additional information onthis option, refer to GS-319. This can be used for off-line pro-gramming and machine data transfer.

Page 14 GS-399-00

Board Error Correction (B.E.C.)

Board Error Correction allows the positioning system to compen-sate for lead hole location variations between printed circuitboard lots. A light source and sensor are mounted relative to theinsertion tooling centerline.

On a maximum dimension PC board — 508mm x 470mm (20" x18.5") — a small area cannot be sensed due to sensor offset.The actual area will vary depending on head selection and con-figuration. A typical detectable area is 508mm x 434.34mm (20"x 17.1") (See section in Technical Specifications on BEC Detec-tion Area).

B.E.C. uses a four quadrant sensor and amplitude controlled lightsource to find the center of holes in printed circuit boards. Thesignals are processed and provide the X and Y corrections to themotion controller via an analog signal, as well as to the span axisfor its correction. The motion controller has 8 bit analog-to-digitalconverters to receive the information. The motion controller thenuses the full power of the control algorithms to find the center ofthe hole. Screens for B.E.C. setup are now integrated into ma-chine diagnostics.

B.E.C. is also used in “Teach” to fit an insertion pattern to a PCboard. This greatly improves pattern accuracy and reduces in-sertion PPM.

Page 15GS-399-00

Different head types may be selected to suit specificapplications. Heads may also be configured as noted in theconfiguration tables. Standard selections include:

Loose eyelets may be inserted with the WW722 insertion head.Eyelets are loaded into the rotary hopper adjacent to the insertionhead. The rotary hopper fills a gravity feed transfer track.Single eyelets are positioned under the insertion spindle and areinserted, one at a time, into the printed circuit board. A lowerdie/support assembly supports the board and forms the eyeletduring insertion. Continuity is sensed during the insertion cycle toverify insertion. Tooling and feed tracks are specificallydesigned for each application.

Setting Styles Eyelets may be set in various ways. Sets areend-user selectable depending upon prefer-ence, component functionality, solder processand equipment, and many other factors.The Interconnect ST 8 may be ordered with anyof the following set styles:

Rolled Set Rolled sets offer the tightest mechanicalboard/component pre-solder joint strength.Some splits in the roll may occur due to thehigh set forces required to roll the component.This type of set is not conductive to solderwicking and does not promote satisfactory sol-der joint quality. There is considerable likeli-hood for gas bubbles and solder voids.

Funnel Set The funnel set is a unique cone style formwhich self tightens into the PC board holesduring the set process. Splits in the eyeletfunnel are acceptable and result from theforming process. As with rolled sets, usersmust be concerned about blow holes andsolder joint quality. A tightly set funnel mayblock proper solder flow. This style of set isoccasionally used in automotive products.

Split Flare The split flare is similar to the funnel set,except that the core is split into segmentsduring the set process. This style may allowbetter solder wicking than a standard funnelset. This style of set is very common and alsoused occasionally in automotive products.Variations, such as a rolled style split flare set,are available where a strong mechanical joint isrequired for safety of the component, commonin light ballast assembly.

3 Up/3 Down These types of sets are commonly used.and Variations They are regarded as the most reliable set

styles. TV, monitor and consumermanufacturers often specify variations of thisstyle. The petals facing the PC board insuresatisfactory mechanical bond with the PCboard, and the fluted petals encourage goodsolder wicking. Since these sets do notobscure the PC board holes, solder gasses areproperly released resulting in solder joints withminimal voids.

Set Angles Set angles may vary depending upon userspecifications and preferences. Angles mayrange from 0° (flat) to 90° (perpendicular).Most sets are specified at inclusiveangles between 60° and 120°, ±10°.

Material Options Eyelets are available in various formats andmaterials. Each of these influence setselections and solder joint consistency.

Unscored Unscored eyelets are solid-formed which do notEyelets have any predefined split lines. These eyelets

are split by the insertion machine’s lower die.The accuracy of the lower dies, machine set-up, and material greatly influence the regularityof these types of splits. Unscored dies are themost common types. The base material isusually brass. Steel eyelets also are usedoccasionally, but do not feed reliably. They areprone to self magnetism.

Scored Eyelets Scored eyelets are prescored to split in a verypredictable fashion. The lower die initiates asplit along these predetermined score lines.This type of eyelet offers the most consistentsets and imparts the least stress and wear onthe lower dies.

Terminal Tooling Considerations

The tooling footprint should always clear any possible obstruc-tions of adjoining components in all three axis.

In addition to tooling footprint and envelope, consideration shouldbe given to the direction of board movement when creating thepattern program. The adjacent figure illustrates that if boardmovement were to be the opposite of that shown, the maximuminsertion density would be 10.16mm (0.400") on centers com-pared to the shown 5.08mm (0.200") on centers. A fifty percentloss in population density!

Care should also be observed in the configuration layout of theterminals. Terminals placed at 90° offer higher densities whenthe terminal that is at 90° is populated first (W/2 + 3.63mm/3.78mm (0.143"/0.149") spacing in front) compared to when theterminal is populated with a termnal behind the tooling (W/2 +6.09mm/6.35mm (0.240"/0.250") spacing behind terminal).

When terminals are inserted side by side, concern should begiven to clearing the tooling (minimum spacing = 6.6mm [0.260"]-(W/2) ± 0.13mm [0.005"]) from adjoining terminals.

Most of the component density issues can be resolved throughproper pattern programming. Please consult factory with appli-cations where the component arrangement or density patterns falloutside of the illustrated guidelines. Custom tooling is available toaccommodate special component arrangements and densities.

Slug Removal SystemOn terminal strips with excess material between adjoining termi-nals, the excess carrier strip, or slug, is removed with the aid ofvacuum, from the tooling assembly. Scrap is collected in a sepa-rate container.

Part in Place DetectionFiber optic sensing of part in place is offered as an option. Thesystem will detect that the feed strip carrier has indexed the nextpart properly, and insure that a terminal is in position to be in-serted.

Custom Terminal SpecificationsApplications The insertion heads are specifically

designed for insertion of interconnectdevices into printed circuit boards. Othermediums may be applied if they meetcertain criteria. The medium must be rigid,flat, less than 457.2mm (18") square, andless than 2.39mm (0.094") thick.

Typically, the insertion head is tooled withboth upper and lower tooling. Interconnectdevices are inserted through holes whosediameters are greater than the device beinginserted. The lower tooling secures thedevice to the PCB via a clinching process.Press fit applications can be considered ifcertain tolerances can be maintained.Applications where the process is theinsertion of a device over a device may alsobe considered.

Component Input Male terminals, female terminals, right angleterminals, clips, etc., that are carried viacontinuous strip format and supplied inreels.

Insertion Rate Up to 2.0 components per second. Up to7,200 components per hour basedupon 10.16mm (0.400") table moves.Insertion rates may vary for certain terminaltypes.

Footprint For AMP® terminals, refer to AMPapplicator head and component data sheets.For custom applications consult the SpecialProducts Group.

Special Products Considerations

ReliabilityLess than 500 PPM. Components, PC boards, or othercontrollable factors varying from Universal specification willaffect PPM rates. Quoted rates are subject to review ofcustomer-supplied materials and documentation.

Component Evaluation and Supply

Due to the many varieties and sizes of interconnect components,Universal does not carry an inventory of these components. Atthe time of order placement, submit the quantities of materialsindicated on the quotation or terms and conditions document.These will be used for tooling design, system set up, testing andacceptance.

Taped or strip-fed reeled components should be reeled in a singlecontinuous strip without splices.

Custom Configuration

All interconnect inserters may be custom configured to match thespecific tolerances and dimensions of the customer-suppliedmaterials. To this point, it is important that samples and theircorresponding dimensional drawings are submitted with machineorders. Tooling will be manufatured to accommodate thedocumented dimensions.

Note: It is important to recognize that it is not uncommon forcomponent dimensions to vary greatly from batch to batch andvendor to vendor (especially for eyelets). This may affectmachine performance. In some cases it may be necessary tochange machine tooling to accommodate these variations. Thesemodifications will be quoted upon request.

CE Compliance

Most applications equipped with internal Board Handling System(BHS) are CE-compliant. Please consult your Universal salesengineer for details.

IntroductionThe Interconnect ST 8 machines are available in a number ofautomatic board handling configurations:n Magazine-to-Magazine Configuration: Magazines contain-

ing PC boards are placed on the input Elevator (Loader) and thePC boards are then automatically transferred into the machinefor component insertion. Once completed, the boards areunloaded into an output magazine Elevator (Unloader). EachElevator includes a magazine Buffer. Buffers are available intwo sizes:

• Long Buffer: 1270mm (50") for magazines 21" long (CE-compliant)

• Short Buffer: 1016mm (40") for magazines 16" long (notCE-compliant)

n Vacuum Bare Board-to-Magazine Configuration: BarePC boards are placed in a Vacuum Bare Board Loader and thePC boards are then automatically transferred onto a 558.8mm(22") conveyor, which transports them into the machine forcomponent insertion. Once completed, the boards are unloadedinto an output magazine Elevator (Unloader). The output Eleva-tor includes a Long or Short Buffer (as above); neither of theseconfigurations is CE-compliant. Note: This unit is bestsuited for PC boards with eyelets.

n Destacker/Conveyor-to-Magazine Configuration: BarePC boards are placed in a Destack Loader and the PC boardsare then automatically dropped onto a 736.6mm (29"), 1117.6mm(44"), or 1473.2mm (58") conveyor, which transports them intothe machine for component insertion. Once completed, theboards are unloaded into an output magazine Elevator (Unloader).The output Elevator includes a Long or Short Buffer (as above);only the systems incorporating the Destack Loader with the1117.6mm (44") or 1473.2mm (58") conveyor, and Elevator withLong Buffer, are CE-compliant. Note: This unit will notfunction properly when eyelets are present on the PCboard.

A - 45GS-399-00, Appendix: Automatic Board Handling Systems

n Magazine- OR Destacker/Conveyor-to-Magazine Con-figuration: Magazines containing partially populated PC boardsare placed on the input Elevator/Buffer (Loader) and the PCboards are automatically transferred into the machine forcomponent insertion. In addition, a second input from a DestackLoader, mounted on either a 736.6mm (29"), 1117.6mm (44"), or1473.2mm (58") conveyor, can be placed in-line after theElevator/Buffer. This permits the flexibility of loading unpopulatedPC boards from a stack, or populated PC boards from amagazine. Once completed, the boards are unloaded into anoutput Elevator/Buffer (Unloader). The output Elevator in-cludes a Long or Short Buffer (as above); only the systemsincorporating the Destack Loader with the 1117.6mm (44") or1473.2mm (58") conveyor, Elevator with Long Buffer, and PCboards with installed components not exceeding 25.4mm (1")thickness, are CE-compliant.

n In-Line Configuration: Machines can be connected in-lineusing the internal Board Handling System (BHS) and intercon-necting conveyors. The BHS transfers two PC boards at a time:an unpopulated board in, and a populated board out. All BoardHandling Systems are factory configurable for either left-to-right or right-to-left direction. This configuration is CE-compli-ant.
