New from Universal Instruments, the 4797S HSP high-speed placement machine is the company's newest solution for high-volume, turret-style chip shooting.
The evaluation and selection process for advanced placement equipment is not as straightforward as it might seem: "Some companies claim to have the fastest machines based on the IPC-9850 specification in placing 0603 caps, but who only places 0603s?" Brad Bennett, Area Operations Director for Universal asked.
"Our Genesis GC-120Q delivers the highest volumes available across a much broader component range - up to 30mm2 in fact".
The Genesis GC-120Q applies the industry's fastest head technology across the broadest component range, allowing manufacturers to achieve high throughput and utilisation without sacrificing performance in higher-mix environments.
Regardless of product mix or production volumes, this flexibility is paramount in attaining superior cost-per-placement, as it means new product introductions and rapid product changeovers can be achieved without head or module swapping.
