Abstract
Disclosed is a working station system, including at least one working station and at least one plug-in station alternatively arranged and partially overlapped with each other. At least one component included in the plug-in station, and/or a moving range thereof, is partially located in the working station without interfering with components included in the working station, thereby reducing a total width of the working station system. Exemplary working stations include dispensing equipment for dispensing a fluid in connection with electronics assembly, and exemplary plug-in stations include AOI equipment.
Claims27
A working station system for electronics assembly, comprising:
- at least one working station (D), each working station (D) including at least one component, the at least one component included in each working station (D) including (i) a fixed stage (S1) for loading a workpiece, (ii) three primary guide rails (X1, Y1, Z1) oriented in different directions and disposed above the fixed stage (S1), wherein one of the primary guide rails (X1) is parallel to a transmission direction of the workpiece, and (iii) a primary tool disposed to move along the primary guide rails (X1, Y1, Z1) for processing the workpiece;
- and
- at least one plug-in station (I), the at least one working station (D) and the at least one plug-in station (I) being alternatively arranged and partially overlapped with each other,
- wherein at least one of (i) at least one component included in the plug-in station (I), and (ii) a moving range thereof, is partially located in the working station (D) without interfering with components included in the working station (D), thereby reducing a total width of the working station system.
A working station system for electronics assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of working stations (D) and at least one plug-in station (I), which are alternatively arranged and partially overlapped with each other, one of the at least one plug-in stations (I) is interposed between two adjacent working stations (D),
- wherein at least one of (i) at least one component included in the interposed plug-in station (I), and (ii) a moving range thereof, is partially located in each of the two working stations (D) without interfering with components included therein, thereby reducing a total width of the working station system, the component included in the interposed plug-in station (I) and/or the moving range thereof is inserted into each of the two adjacent working stations (D) by 200 to 300 mm, respectively, so as to have a reduced interposed station width (W4) of 100 to 200 mm.
A working station system for electronics assembly, comprising:
- at least one working station (D) and at least one plug-in station (I), which are alternatively arranged and partially overlapped with each other, one of the at least one plug-in stations (I) is disposed at an end of the working station system,
- wherein at least one of (i) at least one component included in the plug-in station (I) disposed at the end of the working station system, and (ii) a moving range thereof, is partially located in an adjacent working station (D) without interfering with components included in the adjacent working station (D), thereby reducing a total width of the working station system, the component included in the plug-in station (I) disposed at the end of the working station system and/or the moving range thereof is inserted into the adjacent working station (D) by 200 to 300 mm, so as to have a reduced station width (W5) of 300 to 500 mm.
