BMEP 3T/5T Press

Benchtop System for Compliant Pin Application

BMEP 3T/5T Press

The BMEP series of servo electric presses provides the ability to process most compliant pin connector applications in a compact benchtop system.

Board size capacity and press force range allow the system to handle a wide range of appications for low-to-medium production volume operations.

Servo Drive Precision

Each system is supplied with a servo electric drive with force feedback control. BMEPs are available in either 3 ton [27 kN] or 5 ton [44 kN] force capacity to handle most compliant pin connectors on the market today. Compared to pneumatic or hydraulic systems, the BMEP is quiet, efficient, and does not suffer from oil leaks that can damage PCBs. With PC control, the servo driven BMEP provides an easily programmed press system with automatic set up from press cycle to press cycle. The system reaches levels of precision and accuracy not available in a pneumatic or hydraulic press.

Monitor and Control for Quality

Force, distance and speed are the core parameters of any press cycle. With feed back and PC control, BMEP systems can monitor and control each characteristic of every press stroke run on the press in real-time. If any aspect of that press cycle is outside of specified limits, the BMEP can stop the press, mid-stroke, to prevent damage to the PCB and reduce or eliminate rework and\or scrap. This gives BMEP systems a distinct advantage over pneumatic or hydraulic systems which can not offer the same level of control. Common problems such as PCB holes out of tolerance (too big or too small), missing connectors, improper connectors used and, in some cases, bent pins can be detected and reported to eliminate quality problems

Simple Operation

PC control of BMEP systems allows for simple and flexible programming. All data for connectors and tools are entered and stored in databases. If future production uses the same connector, there is no need to re-enter the specifications. These specifications allow the BMEP to automatically set up and control each press cycle to reduce operator intervention and human error. Every press cycle completed can be serialized and stored for full quality traceability. Finally, icon driven software with visual cues and operator interaction assure that each press cycle is completed correctly the first time.
