What is pick and place machine?

In modern industrial production, efficient and accurate electronic component placement is an important link to ensure product quality and improve production efficiency. SMT machine through its advanced technology and a high degree of automation characteristics, promote the manufacture of electronic products into a new era, become the key equipment in electronic manufacturing.

I. The introduction of pick and place machine

SMD technology is initially manual placement, which depends on skilled operators. However, with the miniaturization of electronic products, high-density development, the traditional manual placement has obviously been unable to meet the demand for rapid production. At this point, the small SMT machine appeared.

The development of SMT machine has gone through many stages, from the initial single-head and single-arm to the modern multi-head and multi-arm, from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, the evolving technology makes mounters dominant in the field of electronics manufacturing.

NeoDen pick and place machine have evolved from the dual-head TM220A, the four-head NeoDen4, the six-head NeoDen9, and now the eight-head NeoDen10, which are designed to meet the needs of customers from R&D and prototyping to high-volume production, and to help improve production efficiency. NeoDen newest compact chip mounter, NeoDen YY1 SMT machine, is extremely cost-effective, making it possible for “everyone to own a pick and place machine”.

II. Key technologies of pick and place machine

1. Visual recognition technology

SMT machine is usually equipped with advanced visual recognition system, through the camera real-time capture PCB on the component position, the use of image processing technology to accurately determine the direction and position of the component, to achieve high-precision placement.

2. Automatic feeding system

Modern pick and place machine adopts automatic feeding system, which can realize continuous and stable component supply and ensure uninterrupted operation of the production line. This system usually includes inductors, conveyor belts and control systems, which can flexibly respond to the placement needs of components of different specifications.

3. Modular design

The modular design of the pick and place machine makes maintenance and upgrading more convenient. Users can choose different modules according to production needs, flexible matching, improving the applicability and customizability of the equipment.

4. Intelligent control system

The introduction of intelligent control system enables the pick and place machine to automatically adjust the working parameters, realizing quick wire change and quick adjustment, improving the flexibility and productivity of the equipment.

NeoDen10 SMT machine also has the following functions

1. 8 independent heads with fully closed-loop control system support all 8mm feeder pick up simultaneously,speed up to 13,000 CPH.

2. The magnetic linear encoder system real-time monitor  the machine’s accuracy and enables machine to correct error parameter automatically

3. Mouting height Up to 16mm, precision design and stable performance

4. Programming interface, easy to operate,more intelligent

1.1 click to import coordinates, can identify top/bottom layer; automatically get the existing component footprint library, factory standard footprint library;

2.1 click to add similar footprint library, only need add once, existing footprint  library can be automatically identified;

3.1 Upgrade software FOC for life time

III. What are the application areas of pick and place machine?

Pick and place machine is widely used in various fields of electronic product manufacturing, including consumer electronics, communication equipment, medical equipment and so on. In the manufacture of cell phones, tablet PCs, TVs and other electronic products, all play an irreplaceable role.

In addition, machine also shows broad application prospects in emerging areas, such as smart wearable devices, Internet of Things devices, etc. These areas for small, lightweight, highly integrated electronic components put forward higher requirements, the mounter will play a more important role in which.
