NPM-D3 SMT Machine

DESIGN CONCEPT The rapid industry acceptance of the award-winning NPM platform is based on its inherent design flexibility. Each NPM is a completely integrated, single-platform solution that can provide far-reaching solutions to expand and evolve with your electronics assembly needs. In addition to its interchangeable, plug-and-play heads, the NPM can integrate solder paste inspection (SPI), automated optical component inspection (AOI), and dispensing. Yet, when requirements change, so can the NPM. Simply swap heads to add new machine functionality and investment protection. As always, manufacturers can scale NPM lines to meet production needs while conserving investments until production or technology requirements mandate. OEMs and EMS providers can reconfigure both machine heads in approximately 15 minutes—maximizing flexibility and ROI, while protecting assets. The NPM also incorporates existing feeders, carts, and nozzles to minimize investment and inventory expenses. NPM-W2 The new NPM-W2 amplifies the NPM-W capabilities with a 10% throughput boost and 25% accuracy improvement. It also integrates innovations like our incomparable, award-winning Multi Recognition Camera. Combined, these features extend the component range down to the 03015mm microchip, yet preserve capability to handle 120x90mm components up to 40mm tall and nearly 6” long (150mm) connectors. Features & Benefits • Combine various high-speed and flexible head options to handle nearly any application, including large, odd-form parts like snap-fit connectors requiring upwards of 50N placement force • Setup multiple products with 120 reels on quick-change carts • Award-winning camera technology merges component alignment, chip thickness, and 3D coplanarity inspection into a single pass, which helps ensure high productivity and quality control Application Solutions With additional feeder capacity and a larger board size, the inherent capabilities and superior flexibility of the NPM-W2 position it as an advanced solution for industrial and automotive manufacturers, as well as EMS providers at any level. NPM-TT The NPM-TT complements our award-winning platform by bolstering the printed circuit board assembly process with front and rear tray towers plus feeder slots for tape reels. Its twin tray configuration enables independent mode, dual-lane production. Additionally, its dual-lane board handling allows increased production of one or more unique products simultaneously; yet, easily converts to single-lane mode for larger board sizes. Features & Benefits • Extended component range is ideal for end-of-line applications • Interchangeable, 20-input, twin tray magazines maximize product changeover efficiency and afford offline setup • Easily replace tray tower carts with tape feeder carts as production setups change to maximize asset utilization • Excellent companion to the NPM-D3, especially when operating in a highvolume, dual-lane production environment Application Solutions Capability and versatility position this as a high-volume, odd-form mounter for components from tape- or tray-fed parts. By automating certain end-ofline components, the NPM-TT can help manufacturers further reduce costs by eliminating pre-reflow or pre-wave solder manual part insertion. Scalable • Match line capacity to production needs • Integrate software modules when business dictates • Single-line facilities to multi-nationals Integrated • For any machine platform or business system • Communicates with numerous peripheral systems • Multi-level traceability throughout the SMT process Efficient • Asset utilization optimized by zero changeover • Offline set-up, teach, and changeover tools • Highly-accurate inventory management Award-winning features common to the NPM Series: • Quick change heads, carts, and nozzle banks with auto board support • Fungible assets include feeders and nozzles to protect your investment • Board warp detection, Advanced Process Control (APC), and Multi Recognition Camera boost yield • High accuracy, low maintenance, linear motor-driven, dual gantry system PLACEMENT HEADS An array of four component placement head variations are available on the NPM series. With its linear motor, dual-gantry system, manufacturers can configure two heads on each machine to maximize line throughput, amplify line flexibility, or blend both for superior production versatility. PROCESS CAPABILITY Printed circuit board assembly includes several processes to ensure high-quality production, which historically meant investing in standalone equipment for dedicated processes like placement, dispensing, and inspection. Today, our NPM Series provides solutions for multiple assembly processes. More than a placement machine, the NPM allows you to configure the platform with heads for component placement, material dispensing, optical inspection, and even a combination of processes. In one single platform, the NPM Series provides a true lean solution—doing more with less and improving your return on investment. One of the world’s strongest patent portfolios... perennially in the top 4 DISPENSE HEAD The NPM is more than a mounter, it is a process solution. By simply swapping a placement head with the dispense head, one can convert an NPM into a multi-functional machine with the ability to mount and dispense. This is especially suitable when handling large or oversized components, processing double-sided reflow boards, or corner-bonding CSPs. • Auger-valve ensures stable, high-speed dispensing • Support patterns like dots or lines, as well as adhesives and solders • Non-contact dispensing enabled with board height sensor
