AutoBee-D1

Key Features and Specifications

Programming and Handling

• Programmers: The automated programmer is compatible with up to two BeeHive304 programmers, allowing parallel programming of multiple devices to increase throughput. In total, AutoBee-D1 supports 8x 64-pindrive.
  • ZIF sockets on the AutoBee-D1 are effectively controlled by the SACU (Sockets Actuation Control Unit). This integration ensures precise and reliable control of the sockets and speeds up their opening and closing.
    
    
• Vacuum Nozzle: The machine uses a vacuum nozzle for handling components, ensuring secure and precise placement during the programming process.
• Capable of processing up to 500 units per hour, making it suitable for medium to high-volume production.
• No Manual Work Required: Fully automates the programming process, eliminating the need for manual handling of devices, thus increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of human error.

Movement System

• Cartesian Coordinate System (XYZA): Employs belt linear guides for smooth and precise movement through the X and Y axes. The Z axis uses a ball screw. Axis A is rotary
• Drive: AutoBee-D1's axes are driven by Nanotec stepper motors, providing precise control and smooth movement throughout the programming process.
• Repeat Position Accuracy: Offers high precision with a repeat position accuracy of 0.05/300 mm, ensuring consistent and reliable operations.

Input/Output and Media Handling

• Tray-Based Media Handling: Components are handled using trays, which simplifies the loading and unloading process.
• Media Capacity: The automated programmer supports 4 media trays along with a reject tray for defective components, ensuring continuous operation without frequent interruptions.
• Tray Sizes:
  • Minimum Tray Size: 198 x 68 mm
  • Maximum Tray Size: 386 x 165.5 mm

Vision System

• Number of Cameras: 2 cameras are integrated into the automated programmer
  • Up Camera: USB 720p camera used to orient the user in the machine space.
  • Recognition Camera: 1.3 Mpix Monochrome CMOS Camera, providing high-quality imaging for precise component recognition.
    
    
• Backlight: Equipped with a 6W ring light to provide consistent and clear illumination, improving the accuracy of the vision system.
