The Most Versatile & Useful Motion Control Device

Some of the most demanding applications in motion control can be found in the electronics and semiconductor industry. They require a combination of extreme accuracy and precision with high output.

SMAC Moving Coil Actuator technology has been adopted into electronics manufacturing industries around the world for both front and back end processes. This is because of SMAC’s high degree of accuracy and speed, positioning capabilities, and unique ability to control forces. Those capabilities are essential to do both work and test during the manufacturing process. SMAC linear rotary actuators come in a single ready-to-mount package with through-the-rod-vacuum. This pick and place head with vacuum saves you cost and increases the throughput of the machine.

 

Flexibility

  • Programmable force/torque, position, velocity in all axes
  • SMAC’s unique Soft-Land™ ability (<10gf contact force) to avoid parts damage
  • Easily programmed position and force “windows” to warn of missing or broken components
  • Precise force control with feedback

Precision

  • Rod/Shaft run-out < 30 micron (<10 micron optional)
  • Positions sub-micron accuracy
  • Different height placement

Efficiency

  • High speed continuous operation, 50,000 cycles/hour (15Hz)
  • Long life cycle over 100 million cycles

For more information on how SMAC electric actuators can be useful in electronic assemblies, as a touchscreen tester, pick and place robot, battery tensioner or other application, contact us to request a product demo.
