NT60 & PLF060 for PCB AOI and Product Inspection | ANDANTEX

Motion control for inspection equipment

Product inspection and PCB automated optical inspection (AOI) depend on presenting the workpiece consistently to the inspection system. Transport, fixture positioning and settling time should be considered together with the camera, lighting and inspection program.

Recommended ANDANTEX transmission options

NT60 hollow rotary table for rotary positioning

Evaluate the NT60, listed as NT060 in our product catalog, for inspection stations that require controlled fixture rotation or indexing. Check the payload, load offset, inertia, indexing cycle and external loads before selecting the motor and transmission configuration.

PLF060 standard planetary gearbox for suitable driven axes

Evaluate the PLF060 for suitable servo-driven belt transport or positioning mechanisms. Where the mechanism uses a ball screw, review the screw lead, load, coupling arrangement and required axis performance. Gearbox selection depends on the actual torque, speed, duty cycle and motor interface.

Typical inspection motion requirements

• Part presentation: move and settle a component or fixture before image acquisition or testing.
• Rotary inspection: present different faces or angular positions to an inspection station when the equipment design requires it.
• PCB handling: coordinate board transport and positioning with the inspection cycle.

Selection information to send

Send the mechanism layout, workpiece weight, fixture dimensions, load offset, travel or indexing angle, cycle time, required positioning repeatability and motor drawing. For AOI equipment, also define the allowable settling time before imaging. These are application selection options; the transmission installed inside the pictured equipment has not been verified.
