Introduction of SMT pick and place machine

Surface-mount technology (SMT) component placement systems, often referred to as SMT pick and place machines or P&Ps, are robotic machines used for placing surface-mount devices (SMDs) onto a printed circuit board (PCB). Next, we'll introduce the information about this product.

The basic composition of the SMT pick and place machine

SMT pick and place machine is a device used for the production of electronic components. This is an automated assembly line that efficiently manufactures, integrates and assembles various SMT components. Components such as resistors, capacitors, crystal oscillators, transistors, and integrated circuits (ICs) are placed on pallets or pallets.

Types of SMT pick and place machine

The SMT pick and place machine is mainly used for printed circuit boards (PCBs). These machines fall into two categories - manual placement systems and automatic placement systems.

• Manual placement system

The system includes a manual trolley and table, and a pneumatic/electric feeder with fixed reel components. Staff uses tweezers to pick up components from their respective reels and manually place them on the PCB. For complex component placement or even multiple component placement, the system can include mini guides and visual identification units to achieve high accuracy in component placement.

• Automatic placement machine

The automatic placement system has a camera installed next to the placement head to facilitate immediate feedback, help the robot accurately position the plate edges and LCD, and help the operator manage self-correction and adjustment on the machine. High accuracy levels can be achieved through the use of automatic visual sensing technologies, such as optical centering assisted by a CCD camera located above the workbench in the work area, and dual magnifying glass/microscope auxiliary equipment for manual guidance while placing very small components such as SMD resistors and capacitors. These fully automatic placement systems eliminate manual labor and errors related to the manual welding process.

Advantages of SMT pick and place machine

• Easy to operate

Most surface mount technology pick and place machines operate on a PC control, parallel to the Windows interface, facilitating user-friendly operation. Component database management through multiple actual parts libraries enables us to store data files generated from early jobs, allowing these processes to be reused without any additional effort during job setup, To achieve maximum cost-effective productivity which is important to all electronic manufacturers.

• Automatic refeed

The SMT pick and place machine is equipped with innovative features such as automatic re-feeding. If any problems occur during the belt cycle, the secondary nozzle will automatically take over, triggering the re-feeding process. Some machines also allow the insertion of through-hole products, enabling the production of hybrid circuit boards. All of these features provide significant advantages for SMT pick and place machines, as they can promote higher production, while reducing costs associated with manufacturing lead times and improving overall production levels, making them part of the production line of any reputable electronics manufacturer in the world today.
