ONYX 500
The ONYX 500 is the fully automatic version of the
thoroughly tested and well-established ONYX 29
platform. It is a versatile system built for dynamic
and automatic rework processes. Its exible
conception and modularity enable an easy
processing of the most demanding components.
CONFIGURATION
Like ONYX 29, the ONYX 500 builds on a very stable robot platform
with linear motors, encoders and linear scales securing the highest
precision and reproducible results. The dynamic robot head is
multifunctional and includes the top hot gas heater, the camera
system, and a solder paste dispensing solution.
With the programmable and software controlled system, application
programs can be generated with all required process parameters and
stored in databases. It supports processes to automatically de-solder
and remove defective parts, to perform contactless solder removal
from the pads, to automatically apply fresh solder paste or ux, to
automatically pick, to visually align and place components. As well it
enables the automatic soldering of components passed on the stored
process parameters and thermo solder proles.
• Multifunctional hot gas heater head
• All axes motorized with closed loop motion
control
• Automatic and overall process control
• Multiple thermocouple ports to control
process temperature
• Closed loop force control of the Z-axis for
automatic picking, uxing, placing and
removing processes in order to protect
sensitive parts
• Closed loop gas ow control from
8 to 80 l/min
• Force measurement table secure precise
closed loop control of each operations
• Automatic contactless site cleaning for
removal of residual solder with a motorized
X/Y/Z-System
Out of the ZEVAC rework component matrix the
system is equipped with traditional, rework
specic components, i.e. hotgas head capabilities
and congurable options as:
• Automatic nozzle changers for soldering /
de-soldering, component picking & placement
as well as pin print transfer nozzles
• Dip station for transferring solder paste or ux
• Automatic tape feeders
• Fixture to hold multiple PCBs
• Wide range of standard or customized
nozzles designed according to application
requirements
MAIN FEATURES
Swiss Engineering

APPLICATION RANGE
Repairs
Misaligned devices can be accurately be repositioned and defective components can be reliably replaced.
Prototyping
The components of small and large printed circuit boards can be automatically assembled and soldered with the ONYX 500 and are
highly ecient. It allows already used expensive components to be re-used.
Post-assembly
Components that are missing at the time of assembly can be placed and soldered later, or individual components which cannot be
handled by the available production machines can be retrotted with the ONYX 500.
Assembly
When printed circuited boards with only a few components requires assembly, then the ONYX 50 can therefore provide an ecient
solution.
Components
Zevac`s standard gas nozzles from the proven DRS selective soldering machines can be used on the ONYX 500 without any
modication. With the ONYX 500 all electronic SMD components and all customer specic components can be handled easily.
ONYX 500 – AUTOMATED REPAIR OF CIRCUIT BOARDS
Swiss Engineering
WIDE APPLICATION RANGE
These include selective soldering, site
cleaning and desoldering of SMD and
all other oddly shaped components.
It allows all possible alteration
processes to be executed fully
automatically and operated completely
independently. The top-notch
performing ONYX 500 guarantees the
utmost reliability and ease of
operation. It is equipped with a special
active vision system for the accurate
and automatic alignment of all SMDs
including all ne pitch components.
MARKET REQUIREMENTS
Component positioning and soldering
requirements have become more
critical with the introduction of more
complex and expensive devices as
well as more integrated circuit boards.
Rapidly increasing sophistication in
SMT has generated an urgent need for
a truly professional solution.
The ONYX 500 meets all these
requirements while maintaining
extreme precision.
AUTOMATED PROCESS CONTROL
Processes for picking up the component,
uxing, soldering or desoldering
(thermoproles) processes are performed
automatically.
