What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedPick-and-place machines for assembly and SMT move electronic components from feeders to prepared circuit boards. Pick-and-place machines generally use placement heads, motion systems, and vision-based alignment to position parts onto solder-paste-coated pads before soldering. Pick-and-place machines are used to automate component placement in printed circuit board assembly.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn an SMT line, a pick-and-place machine operates after solder paste deposition and before solder reflow. Pick-and-place equipment receives boards that have already been prepared for component mounting and passes populated boards to later joining and inspection steps. Pick-and-place equipment is a central assembly tool in electronic board production.
Applications
The Panasonic CM 212 is used for assembly and SMT work.[2]
