Introduction

This operating manual is an instruction guide or reference work for setting up and operating the Waf-

flepack Changer Type 5 (WPC5) and the Wafflepack Changer Type 6 (WPC6).

The WPC5 and WPC6 are basically identical. However the WPC6 is equipped with an additional Non-

Stop Module. The Non-Stop Module allows to refill the waffle pack tray during operation without stopping

the machine.

The WPC5/WPC6 does not require the complete width of one location. The remaining changeover table

space has a capacity of 30 feeder locations.

1.2.1 General

General

The application of flatpack ICs is gaining increasing significance in the production of printed circuit

boards. These components are now used almost exclusively in waffle pack trays. However, the space

taken up by waffle pack trays is relatively large, compared to the density of components. In addition, the

low component capacity requires that the waffle pack trays are changed frequently. When trays are

changed manually, the production process is also interrupted

The use of a SIPLACE® Wafflepack Changer prevents unnecessary loss of time during saving and au-

tomatic changing of waffle pack trays. The individual, programmable access to up to 28 waffle pack tray

carriers also increases the range of components available.

The Wafflepack Changer makes flatpack ICs available in waffle pack trays, preventing unnecessary loss

of time during saving and automatic changing of waffle pack trays. The individual, programmable access

to up to 28 waffle pack trays also increases the range of components available.

The Wafflepack Changer has an integrated carriage,allowing it to be moved easily to other locations on

the line. It is supplied with the PCB conveyor height set for the customer-specific machine but can be

quickly and easily adapted to conveyor heights of 900, 930 and 950 mm.

1.2.1.1 Wafflepack Changer Principle

Wafflepack Changer Principle

The Waffle Pack Changer can save and automatically change up to 28 waffle pack tray carriers. The tray

carriers (levels) are numbered in ascending order (1 - 28).

The waffle pack tray storage unit moves in a vertical direction until the selected level is in the travel range

of the feed axis. This feed axis grips the tray carrier, removes it and transports it to the placement head

pickup area.

The following diagram shows the Wafflepack Changer principle.

Legend

1. The lifting axis of the waffle pack tray storage unit positions the selected waffle pack tray carrier to

the height of the horizontal feed axis.

2. The feed axis then moves the waffle pack tray carrier to the placement head pickup area.

3. The components are removed.

4. The waffle pack tray carrier is then moved back to the tray storage unit.

The waffle pack trays are defined in the setup with their corresponding components. After converting the

setup, the tray storage unit performs a reference run.

The position of the waffle pack tray carrier in the tray storage unit and the placement contents of the tray

carrier are defined in the setup.

NOTICE

Placement procedure interrupted

If the placement procedure is interrupted and the Wafflepack Changer is switched off, the setup

and current component level details are still kept.
