SMT placement and odd-form components assembly

 

High Productivity

High speed insertion

Maximum tact of 0.65 s* is achieved by 2-beam 2-head structure. Compared to manual insertion, 1 NPM-VF is able to replace 3 to 5 operators. In addition, each head can hold up to 3 tools (chucks, nozzles), enabling effective movement of the insertion heads.

*Note : Under condition specified by PSFS

Front Head / Rear Head

Non-stop Production

Stackable stick feeder

Sticks can be loaded during machine operation, reducing machine down time due to component exhaust

Tray feeder

Tray pallets can be replenished during machine operation

Variable pitch body chuck

Motorized body chuck varies chuck opening according to component size, greatly reducing dead space, chuck exchange time and increasing productivity.

Chuck width is optimized to suit component width

Adapters

Adapters can be attached to chuck tips for better gripping of components

Quality Insertion

Recognition correction and component inspection function

NPM-VF is equipped with 2 cameras (head camera and component camera) to scan PCB holes, PCB marks and component leads, ensuring high quality and stable insertion.

Head camera/Component camera

Component verification & Traceability (Option)

Prevents setting mistakes when exchanging parts and supports fabrication history management.

Insertion error detection system

Component height will be detected via sensor after insertion to determine if it is inserted correctly.

Normal Insertion / Insertion error

*It may not be possible to detect when component lead is too soft and would not support itself.

Recovery Operation

In the case of insertion error, PCB will automatically be flowed to the upstream extension conveyor for the operator to remove the error components.

Cut & Clinch Function (Option)

Function : prevent protrusion of components after insertion, improving insertion stability

Features :
variable pitch clinch (2.5~40 mm) with piezoelectric detection system for insertion errors
