Genesis wins SMT vision award

Universal Instruments has confirmed that its Genesis GC-120Q platform has been chosen as the recipient of a prestigious SMT Vision Award.

Universal Instruments' Genesis GC-120Q platform has been chosen as the recipient of a prestigious SMT Vision Award.

Leading the competitive Pick-and-Place category, Universal will collect the award on February 19th during a ceremony being held at this year's APEX exhibition.

Now in its fifteenth year, the annual awards ceremony is designed to honour new technologies pioneering excellence and innovation in today's global electronics industry.

Judged by a distinguished panel of independent industry experts, Universal's GC-120Q platform was successfully evaluated against key performance benchmarks, including cost-effectiveness, speed/throughput improvement, quality and maintainability.

The forthcoming SMT Vision Award presentation acknowledges the GC-120Q's status as the industry's fastest quad-gantry placement machine.

With superior cost-per-placement and throughput-per-square metre metrics, the platform is ideal for the high-volume, high-mix market.

Taking advantage of the industry's fastest head tact time (55ms) and a configuration that includes four Lightning heads, the GC-120Q is the workhorse of the Genesis range.

Built for speed, the quad-gantry GC-120Q's positioning system, feeder and software technologies combine to generate an unbeatable maximum throughput of 120,000 components per hour with the flexibility to place 01005 through 30mm square components.

The platform also features a variety of patented tools and automated features engineered for precision placement, low maintenance, minimal downtime and low cost of ownership.
