A pick-and-place machine is an automated robot primarily used for picking up components and placing them in a specific location. It can be a complex piece of equipment or a simple device used for particular tasks in various industries.
Pick and Place Machines in the SMT Industry
Pick and place machines are known as smt chip placement machines. They are like a robot device with a single or dual head that contains multiple spindles used for the placement of SMD chips on the surface of pcb board.
Parts of a Pick and Place Machine
An SMT Chip placement machine is a combination of several complex parts. Lets divide those parts step by step.
1. Body of Machine
The main body structure of smt machine is made of heavy metal to ensure the machine works stably.
2. Head of Machine
The head of a Pick and Place machine is very complex. A head can contain several spindles with vacuum suction nozzles at the edge of the machine. The head moves in the X and Y axes, and the nozzle is used to pick up the components from the feeder base.
3. Feeder Base
A feeder base is like a loading station in an SMT Chip Shooter Machine. Several different types of feeders can be loaded on a Feeder base for feeding SMD Chips into the machine.
4. Machine Conveyor System
SMT Machine conveyor system is very simple, it receives the PCB board from the machine and places the PCB board in the middle section of the Chip shooter, which locks the board and starts placing the chips.
