We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Placement system",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Placement system provides speed and reliability from
Contax, which we summarised at the time by saying "High-speed image processing software provides a 100 % quality check of BGA and fine pitch components prior to placement".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Carrier cuts down on alignment processes from
DEK: "Novel substrate centring and carrier technology enables multiple component support and alignment during screen printing and all subsequent assembly processes".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Kaisertech
concerning its Assembleon Opal-XII and MG-1 SM
- take a look at Placement systems reduce downtime
which says: "System flexibility and expandability and offline programming capabilities were key factors when G and B Electronics specified its latest two placement systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Contax, Placement machine offers flexible assembly,
as well as Wave soldering systems support switch to RoHS from Contax,
and Platforms automate military assembly from Universal Instruments.
