Since purchasing pick-and-place machines entails massive investments, it is good to know about the latest models available in the market and the features they offer.
Apick-and-place machine is used for the second step in a paste, place and reflow assembly operation. The ‘place’ function follows the ‘solder paste’ function (stencil printer). The ‘place’ operation selects and delivers a component over the board and drops it into position. These machines are needed in a wide range of industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, medical electronics, aerospace, and many more.
Featured here are some of the latest machines available in the market.
| Model: E by SIPLACE; Manufacturer: ASM SMT Solutions |
ASM understands that cost and flexibility are of paramount importance to low-/mid-volume electronics manufacturers. E by SIPLACE possesses linear drives, advanced conveyors, intelligent feeders, modern placement heads, and the reliable SIPLACE vision system. Programming, operation and monitoring use the same functional and reliable premium software that runs on high-end SIPLACE platforms.Key features: - Advertisement -

| Model: Suffix (SM series); Manufacturer: Hanwha |
 The basic common feature among products in the SM series is that they provide convenient in-line operation through the integration of the main modules with the inline platforms. In this series, Hanwha’s own inbuilt on-the-fly image technology is used, allowing component recognition without stopping, and while moving after component pickup. The placement speed is also maximised by minimising the moving time between the pickup position and reducing the component recognition time to zero.
