Yamaha Motor IM Europe announced the release of the new Z:TA-R YSM40R surface mounter, which boasts a placement speed of 200 000 components per hour, and is said to be the fastest in the industry on a 1 metre wide footprint.
While providing the functionality of a rotary head, the newly developed RS (Revolutionary Speed) head is also capable of simultaneous pickup. Placement accuracy and mounting reliability are improved due to the adoption of a new high-rigidity base frame, new lightweight X beam, and a high-speed side view camera that checks the status of components in real time immediately after pickup, and before and after mounting. All of these improvements enable the Z:TA-R YSM40R to be compatible with extremely small components down to 0201 (0,25 x 0,125 mm).
Machine stoppages are minimised thanks to a system that performs nozzle self-diagnosis and self-restoration without interrupting production.
