High-Speed SMT Component Placement Machine ESM-420

ESM-420 Yitang High-Speed SMT Placement Machine is equipment in the field of high-speed SMT placement machine / dual-arm pick and place machine / chip mounter / PCB assembly equipment / SMT automation, developed and supplied by Ningbo Yitang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. for EMS, PCBA, electronics, automotive components, telecommunications, industrial equipment businesses, and factories needing to enhance SMT line productivity.
The equipment is used to automatically pick components from feeders or feeding systems, identify and correct their position, and then place components onto the PCB according to the programmed settings. This solution helps reduce manual operations, increase placement speed, and support maintaining stability in mass PCBA production.
The ESM-420 does not apply a fixed line configuration for all factories. The usage plan is selected based on PCB size, component quantity and type, package, feeder quantity, output, takt time, accuracy requirements, feeding method, and the overall SMT line configuration.

1. Product Highlights

The ESM-420 is developed with a dual-arm placement structure to support high-speed component picking and placement.
The multi-head placement system helps process multiple placement operations simultaneously and is suitable for lines requiring high productivity.
The machine uses a high-precision XY motion system to control the placement head's position during operation.
The machine vision system supports component recognition, checking orientation, rotation angle, and correcting position before placement.
The machine frame is designed with high rigidity to minimize the impact of vibrations during high-speed operation.
The equipment can be combined with feeders, feeder trolleys, and tray feeding systems depending on the package type and product BOM.
The ESM-420 can be arranged with SPI, AOI, reflow ovens, and other SMT equipment to form an automated PCBA line.
The machine can be integrated with SMT-MES and production management software to support monitoring equipment status and line data.

2. What needs is the product suitable for?

The ESM-420 is suitable for:
- EMS businesses.
- PCBA factories.
- Electronics manufacturers.
- Automotive electronics businesses.
- Control module manufacturers.
- Telecommunications businesses.
- Industrial equipment manufacturers.
- Factories needing to place a large number of SMT components.
- Businesses needing to enhance placement productivity.
- Factories building new SMT lines or expanding existing capacity.

3. Consultation and Implementation Process

The process may include:
- Receiving PCB and product information.
- Analyzing BOM and component list.
- Determining package and feeding method.
- Determining output and takt time.
- Evaluating line layout.
- Selecting feeder configuration.
- Establishing placement plan.
- Preparing machine program.
- Testing and commissioning.
- Installation and operational guidance.

3.1. Equipment Selection Criteria

The solution is built based on:
- PCB size.
- Component type and quantity.
- Component size and package.
- Number of components per board.
- Required output.
- Takt time.
- Number of feeders.
- Feeding method (reel, tray, or suitable type).
- Placement accuracy requirements.
- SMT line configuration.
- MES or existing management system connectivity.

3.2. Information Customers Need to Provide

Customers should provide:
- PCB drawings or data.
- BOM.
- Centroid or placement data.
- Component list and package.
- Board dimensions.
- Number of components per PCB.
- Estimated output.
- Required takt time.
- Component packaging method.
- Current or proposed line layout.
- Software or MES connectivity requirements.
The more complete the information, the more suitable the selection of feeders, placement configuration, number of machines, and line balancing plan will be for actual production conditions.

3.3. Inspection and Operation

Before production, it is necessary to check the feeders, nozzles, vision system, conveyor, placement program, component data, and the machine's operational status.
During production, businesses need to monitor component pick-up error rates, recognition errors, placement deviations, feeder status, and equipment alarms.
Nozzles, feeders, cameras, guide rails, and moving mechanisms need to be cleaned, inspected, and maintained regularly to ensure system stability.

4. Benefits for Customers and Businesses

The ESM-420 helps automate the component placement stage, reducing reliance on manual operations and supporting increased PCBA line productivity.
The dual-arm and multi-head placement structure is suitable for factories needing to process a large number of components in a short time.
The ability to combine with feeders, SPI, AOI, reflow, and SMT-MES helps businesses build a synchronized and more easily managed SMT line.
The equipment can also be arranged with multi-functional placement machines to divide tasks between high-speed components and components with different processing requirements.
