Yamaha Motor Europe IM announced the launch of its new YSM10, a surface mounter that the company claims is the world’s fastest in its class at 46 000 CPH (components per hour). This new addition to the lineup is a high-speed model with space-saving qualities, and provides a combination of component compatibility and versatility. In addition to the high-end Z:TA-R YSM40R and the upper-middle class Z:LEX YSM20, this new release enables the YSM series to provide a range of optimum lines designed for a variety of production formats and scale sizes.
The YSM10 provides a one-head solution that does not require replacement, and is effectively an integration of three models of the YS12 type into one platform. In addition, pickup and recognition errors are suppressed along with reduced loss in machine stoppage due to the integration of the common functionalities of the Z:TA-R YSM40R and Z:LEX YSM20 with their e-Vision for automatically creating and tracking component data, smart recognition for easily creating component data from complicated shapes, and pickup MACS system for automatic correction of the component pickup position.
