Yamaha Motor’s YSM20W, a member of the Z:LEX series, provides flexibility and efficiency in various forms of production without the need for replacing the head thanks to the ‘1 head solution’ concept. This model is a wide-body version of the Z:LEX YSM20 universal modular, and is capable of handling extra-large PCBs for automotive, industrial, medical, power devices, and LED lighting etc. with its significantly increased adaptability to PCB sizes and weight.
Ideal for high-mix applications, the YSM20’s versatility comes thanks to the HM high-speed multi-purpose head using 10 nozzles in-line, supporting from ultra-tiny chips of 03015 (mm) to large components of 45 x 100 mm and height of 15 mm. The FM flexible multi-purpose head with five nozzles in-line supports force control and handles a broad spectrum of components from ultra-tiny chips of 03015 (mm) to ultra-large components of 55 x 100 mm and tall components with heights up to 28 mm.
