Standalone Productive Platform
The high speed placement machine ii-A3 takes Europlacer’s legendary flexibility to new heights, with speeds up to 65,000
Description
Over five years in development, the Europlacer design team set out to engineer a new platform that combines very high placement speeds with our legendary placement flexibility and accuracy. As a result, they succeeded with the SMT high speed placement machine atom. Therefore, now it’s possible to have a high speed placement machine AND flexible solution – no compromise. Innovations in design aspects and use of materials in the structure of the high speed placement atom platform reduce weight in performance-critical areas, like the moving mass of gantries and placement heads. Extruded y-axis gantries trim 30% off the mass of their cast counterparts. With lightness comes agility, but also a potential for flex under the high accelerations demanded by six-figure placement rates.
ii-A3 uses 2 Pulsar Heads combined with our proven Tornado Head and will provide speed of up to 65,000cph while catering for the complete range of SMT devices up to 34mm in height, and can even handle through hole devices with its gripping nozzle capability. Most importantly, Atom is the first Europlacer SMT platform to feature a new intelligent conveyor system. This patented technology eliminates mechanical board stops. Instead, atom machines can stop the board at any position under software control. In short, it delivers another incremental step in placement performance by automatically optimising head travel paths during pick and place cycles.
