New Yamaha pick & place options
Enhance SMT line capabilities with Yamaha Pick and Place upgrades
Looking to elevate your SMT production? Yamaha Robotics has rolled out three exciting hardware-based upgrades for Yamaha YR mounters, designed to boost your line’s speed, accuracy, and flexibility. These upgrades are easy to integrate and are perfect for industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, lighting, and other high-demand sectors where precision is key.
Whether you're working on PCB assembly for vehicles, medical devices, wind energy or other advanced industries, these enhancements will help you achieve superior quality and increased efficiency in your production process.
Enhance SMT line capabilities
Enhance SMT line capabilities by improved first-pass quality control
Feeder errors, incorrect reels, and defective components are common challenges in high-volume SMT production. Yamaha’s LCR verification system takes quality control to the next level by measuring LCR; inductance, capacitance, and resistance values of SMD components before placement.
This ensures that only the correct parts, with the right tolerances, are placed onto the PCB - drastically reducing rework and boosting first-pass control. Compatible with Yamaha YRM mounters as well as Yamaha YSM pick & place, this feature integrates seamlessly without requiring additional software or hardware modifications.
Enhance SMT line capabilities
Nozzle-tip force measurement for higher precision placement
Ensuring precise component placement is key to maintaining high SMT production quality. Yamaha’s nozzle-tip force measurement system detects early issues like blockages, allowing for quick maintenance. Installed at the mounter’s feeder interface, it offers a menu-driven setup and measures placement force down to 0.1N resolution.
By implementing nozzle force monitoring, manufacturers can reduce errors, minimize downtime, and maintain first-pass control, ensuring stable and reliable SMT line performance. This feature is available for all Yamaha YRM mounters.
Enhance SMT line capabilities
Handle larger PCBs with ease: Large board option for complex assemblies
For manufacturers working with large PCB assembly, Yamaha’s new large board handling upgrade allows YRM mounters to process boards up to 1.5 meters long and 510 mm wide. This expands production capabilities by more than 30% compared to standard YRM mounters.
This upgrade is ideal for LED lighting boards, high-power electronics and IMS (Insulated Metal Substrate) assemblies. Supporting board thickness up to 10 mm and weights up to 10 kg, this feature enables high thermal capacity component placement on materials like heavy-gauge copper or aluminum IMS.
