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 high speed smt placement Atom. Therefore, now it’s possible to have a high speed AND flexible solution with no compromise. Gantries are driven in the x-axis at both ends simultaneously. They use synchronised linear motors with precision encoders. Mechanical deflection is eliminated and most importantly, acceleration is increased by 66% to 2g. ii-A4 uses four of our advanced Pulsar Heads and offers out high speed manufacturing (up to 104,000cph). Atom is the first Europlacer 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. Most importantly, it automatically optimises head travel paths during pick and place cycles and delivers another incremental step in placement performance.
