Operational Overview and Features

FLEX SYSTEM OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

The SmartFlex™ is a two-sided gull-wing lead forming system with automatic standoff control. Simple changeover of die members, combined with accurate, repeatable changes in tip-to-tip length, can vary all the critical dimensions of most SMT footprints on a wide variety of ceramic packages. With SMT forming specs library, the operator can choose existing forming specs that are linked to a list of internal Flex tool and will be required to process this new or existing IC part.

SMT Development Mode: This feature will prompt the technician to enter forming specs and will help guide the operator to put in values that are industry standards. Once the values are accepted, the program will determine what internal tooling members will be used or have to be acquired. This unique program calculates spring back and has the Flex systems limitation included for example .012 "C" is the systems maximum lead thickness capability and the program will not allow a value larger than .012 to be entered or saved.

Parts Library: This section has a list of all internal Flex tool members on hand for use that the user has acquired. Internal Flex tool members have a bar code ID that identifies its critical dimensions, when read with the reader provided with the system.

Onboard Documentation/Support: Internal fault codes and operation manual factory preload on each machine.
