Modular Placement
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Modular Placement Machine
With its SP2 placement system and three different placement modes, the KE-2030 SMT placement machine is said to offer a high degree of flexibility and speed in a modular machine. The machine reportedly features a placement rate of more than 20,000 components per hour. Two multi-nozzle laser heads with eight nozzles can pick and place components as small as 0201s and as large as 26.5 × 11 mm and 20 mm2. Three placement modes are possible. In parallel placement mode, the machine places up to 60 different components while running two identical configurations on two identical PCBs. In sequential placement mode, it reportedly divides the PCB into two sectors and assigns each to one of the nozzle heads. In mixed-placement mode, the PCB is split into three sectors, with one sector assigned to one head, a second sector to the second head, and the third sector to the remaining two heads for parallel placement.
