Camalot – Prodigy

ITW EAE – Camalot – Prodigy

THE CAMALOT® PRODIGY™

dispensing system employs breakthrough technology innovations to enable higher process speeds, more precise accuracies, tighter tolerances, and higher yields. A state-of-the-art X Y gantry system is the heart of this next generation dispenser. Linear drive technology, refined motion control architecture, and a rigid, innovative frame design provide unmatched performance and reliability.

Camalot has released Dynamic Dual Head™ (DDH) which offers the unique ability to double dispense speed while maintaining the highest level of accuracy for both dispense pumps. The patented design corrects for part to part rotation in “real-time” allowing synchronous dispensing of both pumps. Camalot released NuJet™, a jetting technology for the Prodigy dispenser that eliminates the use of a needle and incorporates a state-of-the-art pneumatic actuator that generates an operating frequency of up to 300Hz.  For more information see Options below under Enhanced Features.

The Camalot Prodigy dispenser is designed and built to deliver high-speed, extremely accurate dispensing. To enable 1.5g’s of acceleration, Camalot engineers resourced more than two decades of experience with linear motors and advanced motion control systems.

Benchmark User Interface with Flip Chip Calculator

Easy to learn and use, ITW EAE’s Benchmark software is powerful yet intuitive, and offers enhanced functionality and features such as a flip chip calculator for underfill. It outputs accurate volume and weight details by allowing precise weight data to be entered into the program, reducing setup time and scrapped parts.



High-Speed and Extremely Accurate Dispensing

Advanced linear-drive architecture, combined with exceptional frame stability enables greater precision at higher speeds, resulting in consistently higher yields. The Camalot Prodigy boasts a +/- 35µ 3 Sigma dot placement accuracy at full speed.

Large Board Capability

Innovative board staging option can double or even triple the dispense area in the X direction, allowing product of >900mm to be processed.

Controlled Heating for a Repeatable Process

Contact and non-contact heating in several configurations including heated lift chucks ensures that dispense materials are at a controlled, constant temperature for repeatable, controllable material flow rates for underfill and encapsulation.

Plug and Play Architecture

Constantly changing needs in dispense processing require flexibility in system configuration. The Prodigy’s features are easily field upgraded, due to ‘plug and play’ compatibility and simplicity. They can be retrofitted in the field, including heat, pumps, weight scale, 2nd Z-axis, and even the conveyor system.

Independent Dual Head

Independent Dual Head configurability allows dispensing of different materials within one process. Both Z-axes are independently controlled, facilitating both high positional accuracy and fast axis movement.

Synchronous Dual Head Mode

Synchronous Dual Head Mode operates both pumps simultaneously and reduces dispense time by approximately 50%.

Automatic Vision Alignment

The Prodigy features automatic vision for both fiducial alignment and manual teaching of programs. Fiducial images are taught and saved to an onboard library; in addition, it works as an image recognition system so that any unique feature can be used for alignment. Camalot’s edge detection vision alignment is the fastest and most accurate positioning method available. A one-snap operation finds all four edges of die up to 25mm square, and automatically adjusts needle path for variations in X,Y, and theta placement, die width, and edge parallelism.

Pipeline Conveyor Mode

Pipeline conveyor mode allows parallel product transfer within the machine, reducing transfer time from input buffer or preheat to dispense station in as little as 2.5 seconds, down from a standard 5 – 6 seconds. For a process that currently has a 25 second cycle time, this provides an additional 10% in UPH!
