Voltages available; 190V, 200V, 208V, 220V, 240V, 380V, 400V, 415V, 440V and 480V. The External Transformer Package has the advantage of requiring one power connection to the machine.



General Product Options

Free Standing Base Package [1,2]
An all welded, heavy duty, painted steel frame with leveling feet and two side shelves that are permanently bolted to the Freedom 2000 machine.

Modem-based Service Support
Includes a built-in high-speed modem and pre-loaded software for direct technical and software support from Conceptronic's service department. This package also
enables remote diagnostics and two-way direct file transfer using Conceptronic’s 24-hour customer support BBS. The customer is urged to install a dedicated, direct
telephone line at the machine installation location.

Spare Parts Kits (Only available with new machine purchase, see below)
Spare parts and kits for new machines are quoted at the time the machine is quoted. Consult the Conceptronic Service Department for parts not included in the quote form, or replacement parts for any machine after it has been installed.

Honeycomb Infrared Under Board Preheater
(Not available on machines with optional X-Y Theta Table)
This option includes a 16 x 30 inch (406 x 762 mm) under-board, “honeycomb” infrared preheater and an external electrical box with disconnect circuit breaker. Preheating
reduces cycle time and board warp, which sometimes occurs when large PCB assemblies are locally heated during rework. The preheater has an opening in the center,
which allows the standard Freedom bottom process heater to still be used. This option requires an additional 120V, 20A branch circuit.

Auxiliary Halogen Lamps
Includes two Sunnex 20-watt halogen, gooseneck work lamps, with a right angle swivel joint lamphead. A switch on the mounting base provides On/off control.



Table and Heater Head Options

Compact X-Y Table
This is a smaller version of the standard XY table with theta adjustment in the heater head. This version is smaller in the “Y” direction to make the X-Y table more
ergonomic when working with small circuit boards. Board handling capacity is reduced to 20 inches x 12 inches (51 cm x 30 cm).

X-Y Rack and Pinion Fine Adjust (Standard on X-Y Theta Table, optional on X-Y Table with Theta Head)
Fine pitch gear racks run the length of both the X and Y-Axes of the table. A pivoting pinion shaft is lifted above the rack to rapidly position the table, then lowered to
mesh with rack. Friction in the pinion shaft holds the table in position. Fine adjustments can be made by rotating a knob on the end of the pinion shaft. This option
allows simple, one-handed rapid/fine table positioning for component alignment.

X-Y, Theta Table
This is a high mass XY table that pivots on its base to provide Theta adjustment. It will hold boards up to 19.25 x 18 inches (49 x 46 cm). Theta adjustment is built into the
table, instead of the heater head. It is recommended for small boards, which do not require the use of the preheater option. A preheater cannot be installed with this table.

Floating Head Control (Not available with optional Fixed Heater Heads)
This option provides a low friction air cylinder counter-balance for the Freedom 2000 heater head. A regulator provides adjustment of the pressure in the cylinder limiting
the component placement force. This option requires the freestanding base package.

Fixed Theta Heater Head (Use only with X-Y Table with Theta Head option)
A rigid Theta Heater Head replaces the breakaway Theta Heater Head (standard with X-Y Table with Theta Head option). This couples the heater head directly to the
z-axis drive for applications where high placement force is desired.

Fixed Heater Head (Use only with X-Y/Theta Table)
A rigid heater head replaces the standard Breakaway Heater Head. This couples the heater head directly to the z-axis drive for applications where high placement force is
desired.



Vision System Options

2X Magnification Lens Adapter
(Use with fixed mirror and zoom lens only)
This option doubles the standard optical magnification of the Freedom 2000. It is recommended primarily for working with small components, especially flip chip, TAB and fine pitch components. Ideal working component size is reduced from the standard 0.5 - 2.0 inch (6-50 mm) to 0.25 - 1.0 inch (3-25 mm).

Enhanced Fiber Optic Lighting
Proprietary, double light-pipe fiber optic lighting replaces the standard single light-pipe system. Fiber optic bundles transmitting light to the pipes are also doubled in size. The result is even brighter, more uniform lighting than the standard system. This option is recommended when high-magnification eyepieces are to be used with the Stereo Microscope Optics Package or when the 2X Magnification Lens Adapter is used with the standard lens system. This option is not retrofittable.

Premium Optics Package (use with fixed mirror only)
Premium Leica brand lens carrier replaces the standard zoom lens. This provides five discreet magnification steps, and a sharper image with less glare and better edge definition than the standard system.

Stereo Microscope Optics Package (use with fixed mirror only)
This option includes the Leica lens system from the Premium Optics Package, as well as a Binocular Stereo Microscope Head, which allows direct viewing of the board/component image through interchangeable eyepieces. This option includes one set of 10X Eyepieces, which allow viewing of the entire maximum component size of 2-inch (51 mm). The high-resolution video camera image works in conjunction with the binocular microscope to provide a through microscope video image. Higher magnification eyepieces are available separately.

16X Eyepiece Set
Two Leica interchangeable, 16X eyepieces are provided for use with the Stereo Microscope Optics Package. These are ideal for most “TAB” and “Ultra-fine pitch” applications. (Maximum working component size is reduced as magnification increases.)

25X Eyepiece Set
Two Leica interchangeable, 25X eyepieces are provided for use with the Stereo Microscope Optics Package. These are ideal for most “flip-chip” and “Micro-BGA” applications. The Enhanced Fiber Optic Lighting option is recommended for use with this option. (Maximum working component size is reduced as magnification increases).

40X Eyepiece Set
Two Leica interchangeable, 40X eyepieces are provided for use with the Stereo Microscope Optics Package. The Enhanced Fiber Optic Lighting option is recommended for use with this option. (Maximum working component size is reduced as magnification increases).

2X Video Adapter (use with Premium or Microscope Optics options only)
This option is an additional, two-piece adapter, which can be used with the Premium or Microscope Optics option to double the size of the camera image displayed on the computer monitor.

Split Mirror
A special mirror assembly splits the optical path allowing the user to zoom in on the corners of large, fine-pitch devices to simplify alignment. This option is not recommended for use with the 2X-magnification lens adapter, premium optics, or microscope optics options.

B&W Camera
A black and white camera replaces the standard color camera. It can be used in conjunction with the L.E.D. lighting option for viewing BGA components on green boards. Miniature, high intensity red L.E.D. arrays replaces standard white fiber optic lighting.

L.E.D. Lighting
Miniature, high-intensity, red L.E.D. arrays replace the standard, white fiber optic lighting. This option is used only with the optional B&W camera.

International/Safety Options

CE Certification [1]
This option covers the additional cost of safety features required to comply with CE requirements in the European community. CE certification also requires the Freestanding Base and External Transformer options.

Front-Facing Emergency Stop Buttons [2]
Two matched sheet metal enclosures are mounted at the front corners of the machine. The emergency stop buttons are relocated to mount in the sheet metal boxes so that they face forward (toward the operator). This option is required in Japan due to local safety codes.

Computer Safety Cover
A clear, polycarbonate cover is installed inside the PC enclosure to prevent unauthorized personnel from tampering with the computer assembly.

Front-mount Gauge Panel (Requires Free-Standing Base and Floating Head)
A small gauge panel is mounted at the top, right, front corner of the Freedom base. This panel holds gauges for the heaters, vacuum, and floating head pressures, as well as the regulator for the floating head. The gauges mounted in the panel are graduated in PSI and KPa.

Machine Safety Enclosure (Requires Free-Standing Base and Front-Facing Emergency Stop Buttons)
A steel and polycarbonate structure is built up from the Freedom base to enclose the sides, back, and top of the machine. The top has a 100mm-diameter hole for ventilation attachment. This option may be used with the Safety I/O and Light Curtain options below for a completely guarded configuration.

Safety I/O Package (Requires Free-Standing Base)
Two output connectors and one input connector are installed on the back of the PC enclosure. The optional Light Curtain and Light Tower can be supported through these connectors using a special version of the Freedom 2000 software and PLC program, which is supplied with the option. Customers may also choose to use the inputs and outputs for their own, custom add-ons. The input connector provides a safety switch input, which will trip the emergency stop circuit when the machine is automatically running the heaters or the motorized z-axis drive. A safety switch override output enables this switch to be tripped without aborting the Freedom profile when manual actions must be performed by the machine operator. The output connectors provide on/off outputs for: red light/e-stop, yellow light, green light, component vacuum, component placement, preheater, and safety switch override. One of the output connectors also provides +24 VDC and ground outputs, intended to be supply power (100 mA max.) for the safety switch input.

Light Curtain (Requires the Machine Safety Enclosure and Safety I/O Package)
This option uses an area-array, infrared light sensor to guard the front of the Machine Safety Enclosure. It plugs into the Safety I/O Package connectors. The light curtain ties into the emergency stop circuit, and is overridden at certain times during Freedom profiles when an operator's arms must enter the safety enclosure to perform manual actions. If an operator's arms enter the guarded area while the heaters are on, or the z-axis drive is moving, the emergency stop circuit will be tripped, the heaters and motor will stop, and the machine must be manually reset.

Three-Color Light Tower (Requires the Safety I/O Package)
A light tower with red, yellow, and green lights is mounted to the back of the machine. The light tower plugs into the Safety I/O Package output connectors. The red light is on for an emergency stop condition, the yellow light is on for setup or manual operations, and the green light is on for automatic operation.
