High-mix SMT placement machine

22 March 2017 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Panasonic’s AM100 modular placement machine is designed as a cost-effective, incrementally scalable, high-mix SMT solution. Only one machine is required to get production started and it’s easy to add more units and/or technologies as demands change. The machine features a single head (single beam) capable of placing an impressive component array including 0402 mm to 120 x 90 x 28 mm, large connectors, odd-shaped components, and advanced packaging types such as PoP.

The next product can be prepared while production is running on the AM100 for non-stop changeover, and a variety of highly flexible configurations and component supply types can be put to use. Flexible setup is further enhanced by Feeder Anywhere and Nozzle Anywhere features. Large boards can be processed and advanced features including a component thickness camera, auto support pin exchange, PCB warpage detection, and tray verification are also available.
