Providing many of the benefits of automation systems, the GuideMaster is a complete in-line component placement system designed to easily integrate into existing manual assembly lines. Equipped with an in-line, motorized conveyer and laser light guidance system, the system is said to deliver a seamless in-line board flow and to facilitate more accurate manual part insertion.
The system comes packaged with a board positioning and clamping mechanism to secure the board in a repeatable location, a PC computer configured with the Windows NT operating system and software, an intuitive operator interface, and a foot switch to trigger board-clamp and board-stop operations. Other available features include part presentation bin systems, LED indicators, component prep stations, and more.
