Remanufactured single- and dual-beam GSM

Platforms are flexible, fine pitch placement

machines that meet the challenges of chang-

ing electronic assembly requirements.

Universal’s Remanufactured GSM Platforms

(the single-beam RGSM1 Platform and the

dual-beam RGSM2 Platform) address the

entire spectrum of standard surface mount

components, while also placing a wide range

of odd form components and advanced

assemblies such as flip chips and other chip

scale packages.

Not only do Remanufactured GSM Platforms

meet today’s surface mount placement

needs, but they can also be adapted to meet

tomorrow’s requirements. With their modular

design, these platforms are easily upgraded in

the field with options and enhancements.

RGSM1 and RGSM2 Platforms use standard

user interfaces and interchangeable compo-

nent feeders, placement heads, and inspec-

tion cameras. They employ a high-precision

positioning system, advanced vision system,

and sophisticated control architecture,

providing the flexibility, speed, and accuracy

essential for future growth.

Key Benefits

Value

• Protects against capital equipment

obsolescence through field upgrades and

reconfigurations

• Adapts to changing assembly technology

with tooling elements common among GSM

Platforms

• Maximizes utilization by minimizing

setups and handling the widest range of

components in the industry

• Maximizes throughput with the industry’s

fastest large part tact time and vision-on-the-

fly component inspection

Mount Application Machines

(Remanufactured GSM® Platforms)

RGSM1, RGSM2

Specifications

RGSM1 and RGSM2

• Optimizes productivity by interfacing to

factory data collection and automation

systems through optional GEM software

• Optimizes throughput with GSM Platform

production simulations and line balancing

utilities

• Minimizes changeover time and production

cost by using optional bank feeder changer,

Component Shuttle, and/or Platform Tray

Feeder

• Minimizes operator training and simplifies

operation with a graphical user interface com-

mon among GSM Platforms

• Minimizes support costs with replacement

parts, product training, and technical support

common among GSM Platforms

Positioning System

• One-piece, precision-machined base frame

supports an overhead gantry-style positioning

system using linear encoders and a patented,

software-controlled beam damping system

• X/Y linear Heidenhain scales offer repeat-

able, accurate performance over many years

• The drive system uses brushless, DC servo

motors providing optimal acceleration, decel-

eration, and reliability

Vision System

•Features a downward-look-

ing (pattern error correction)

fiducial inspection camera

•CAD download specifies the

shape and size of fiducials

•Automatically corrects for

board variations such as

stretch, rotation misalign-

ment, and skew

•Bad board reject identifies

and bypasses bad boards dur-

ing processing

Specifications

RGSM1 and RGSM2

Although the RGSM1 Platform and RGSM2

Platform share the same footprint (66"W x

86"D/168 cm x 218 cm), the dual independent

positioning systems of the RGSM2 Platform

generate a significant increase in throughput.

RGSM1 or RGSM2?

Both the RGSM1 Platform and the RGSM2

Platform are price-performance leaders. Your

choice depends on your requirements. The

RGSM2 Platform promotes increased through-

put over the slightly more flexible RGSM1

Platform. Both use common heads, feeders,

tooling, and cameras, and share an identical

footprint.

Board Handling

• Optional dual lane board handling elimi-

nates board transfer delays, dramatically

increasing throughput

• Programmable width control adjusts convey-

or width automatically for fast board

changeover

• Mechanical and optical board alignment

combine for accurate, reliable board location,

avoiding offset errors

• Edge clamping combined with pin-grid

board support compensates for board warp,

sag, and/or flex during dispensing for maxi-

mum flexibility and increased speed

• SMEMA compliant for ease of integration

User Interface

• Universal Platform Software (UPS) uses a

graphical user interface for ease of operation,

while a separate CPU drives a real-time

machine control system

• Standard UPS software can run on a PC or the

machine; programming for next board can be

performed while the current board is running

or off-line

• Complies with TCP/IP, Ethernet®, and GEM

protocols, making board transfer and other

communication issues trouble free in mixed

vendor environments

• On-line user help is provided through main-

tenance instructions, operating procedures,

drawings, complete operator manuals, and a

Web-based troubleshooting guide

Programming Interface

• Built-in performance optimizers and simula-

tors make programming and throughput

analysis quick, accurate, and easy to perform

Options

• GSM Platform Placement and Dispensing

Heads: Available for use on Remanufactured

GSM Platform machines are the FlexJet®

Head, Flex Head, High-Force Head, Ultrafine

Pitch (UFP300+) Head, Positive Displacement

Pump, and Archimedes Metering Valve.

• GSM Platform Feeders: Available for use on

Remanufactured GSM Platform machines are

standard feeders such as tape feeders, track

feeders, multi-tube feeders, and stationary

matrix tray feeders. Smart feeders, such as the

Component Shuttle and Platform Tray Feeder,

are also available. Finally, Universal’s

Applications Engineering Group can develop

feeders for special needs.

• Feeder Bank Changing: Feeder bank chang-

ers permit set up of alternative feeder banks

while the machine is operating.

• Feeder Storage Carts: Feeder storage carts

hold multiple feeders in place, away from the

machine when not in use.

• Board Support: Board support during compo-

nent placement minimizes the effects of

board warp, sag, and flex.

• Board Handling: Conveyors designed and

manufactured by Universal’s Applied

Conveyor Engineering Group transport PCBs

between individual machines within a system.
