What it is

The Panasonic CM 101 D is a pick and place machine.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A pick and place machine uses a gantry or rotating turret equipped with vacuum nozzles to retrieve components from feeders and position them onto boards with high accuracy.

The machine typically aligns the board using fiducial markers and then places components one at a time or in sequence at programmed locations.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In a surface-mount technology assembly line, the pick and place machine is positioned after solder paste application and before reflow soldering.

The machine receives boards with solder paste deposited, places components, and then sends the populated board to the reflow oven for final soldering.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Pick and place machines are used for assembling a wide range of electronic devices, including consumer electronics, automotive electronics, telecommunications equipment, and industrial controls.
