Patent number: 6772813Abstract: A replaceable heated end effector (100) can be quickly connected and disconnected to a vacuum ported tool changer (199) on a high speed machine for picking and placing electronic components. The modular end effector is made up of an adapter flange (110), a heater plate (120) and a heated tip (130). The heater plate contains one or more heating elements (410) to heat up the tip. The upper side (112) of the adapter flange mates with the vacuum ported tool changer so as to be easily removable. The adapted flange also has electrical contacts (142) to supply power to the heating elements on the heater plate. The heated tip has a vacuum pickup portion (132) that is designed to pick up the electronic components (198) and heat them while they are being transported to the placement location. There are holes or apertures (115, 125, 135) in the adapter flange, the heater plate and the heated tip that port the vacuum from the tool changer to the vacuum pickup tip.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2002Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Becher, Ovidiu Neiconi

Patent number: 6352025Abstract: A solder printing apparatus (40) for use within a solder printer (34) includes a vision and alignment mechanism (44), a steering mechanism (46), a vacuum conveyer (48), and a tension roller assembly (42). The vision and alignment mechanism (44) controls the position of the flexible tape (10) and sends a signal to the steering mechanism (46). The steering mechanism (46) adjusts the position of the flexible tape (10) in response to receiving the signal from the vision and alignment mechanism (44). The vacuum conveyer (48) holds and advances the flexible tape (10). The tension roller assembly (42) maintains tension in the flexible tape (10).Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2000Date of Patent: March 5, 2002Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Ovidiu Neiconi, Richard Lee Mangold, Christopher Lee Becher, John Patrick Hunt

Patent number: 6008476Abstract: An apparatus (400) used for indexing and affixing components to a substrate includes a vacuum conveyor and a controller (816) for controlling operation of the apparatus (400). The conveyor includes pallets (102), first and second tracks (414, 416), first and second motors (502, 503), a vacuum source, a plenum (110), and first and second elevators (404, 405). The pallets carry the substrate, while the first and second tracks guide the pallets. The first motor is used for driving a pallet in a first direction on the first track, while the second motor is used for driving a pallet in a direction opposite to the first direction on the second track. The plenum is coupled to the vacuum source and at least one pallet for applying adhering forces to the substrate. The first and second elevators are used for transferring a pallet between the first and second tracks.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1997Date of Patent: December 28, 1999Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Ovidiu Neiconi, Christopher Lee Becher, Richard Lee Mangold, Christopher John Keane

Patent number: 5916513Abstract: An apparatus (400) enclosing a portion of a substrate (401) is used for affixing at least one component to a corresponding circuit of the substrate when a manufacturing line (800) ceases to operate. The apparatus includes a conveyor (400), heating elements (102), and a controller (816) for controlling operation of the apparatus (400). The conveyor is used for indexing the substrate periodically through the apparatus. The heating elements are used for dividing the portion of the substrate enclosed by the apparatus into controllable temperature zones (902). The controller is adapted to cause each of the plurality of heating elements to dynamically adjust the temperature of each of the controllable temperature zones upon the indexing process of the manufacturing line (800) ceasing to operate, until at least one component of each circuit enclosed by the apparatus has been adequately affixed to its corresponding circuit.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1997Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: MotorolaInventors: Richard Lee Mangold, Ovidiu Neiconi, Christopher Lee Becher
