    The solutions, the FOX Ultra and the PUMA Ultra, offer significant speed improvement compared with the well-known FOX and PUMA equipment. They also deliver significant placement speeds enhancement, the FOX Ultra reaching an optimum speed of 31,000 components per hour (CPH) and the PUMA Ultra achieving 30,000 CPH. These machines are designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining Essemtec’s renowned precision, flexibility and versatility.  

    The key features include:  

    • Optimum speed of 31,000 CPH for the FOX Ultra, and 30,000 CPH for the PUMA Ultra;
    • a full range of components from 008004 imp (0201) up to 109 x 87 mm;
    • a full traceability software package;
    • high feeder density of 260 (140 inline) for the PUMA, and 180 (120 inline) for the FOX;
    • a large variety of feeder solutions, including loose component solution, stick feeder, strip feeders, tray changer, and bowl feeder; and
    • nonstop production Feeder Change over the All-in-One version, which is available to add dispensing and inspection capabilities.

    Versatility across a wide component range

    Both machines support a full range of components, from the smallest 008004 imperial (0201 metric) chips to large components up to 109 x 87 mm. This broad capability ensures manufacturers can tackle a diverse set of assembly challenges with a single, adaptable platform.

    To accommodate high-mix production environments, Essemtec offers the highest feeder density of both machines. Specifically, up to 260 feeders (140 inline) for the PUMA Ultra, and up to 180 feeders (120 inline) for the FOX Ultra. This high feeder density allows for seamless production of complex boards, reducing setup times and maximizing throughput. 

    Comprehensive feeder solutions

    Essemtec offers a wide range of feeder solutions to support various production needs, including loose component solution, stick feeders, strip feeders, and tray changers amongst others. These options ensure that the FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra remain highly adaptable to evolving manufacturing requirements.  

    Nonstop production with feeder “Hot-Swap” changeover

    The FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra feature Nonstop Production Feeder Changeover, allowing operators to replace feeders without interrupting the production process. This ensures continuous operation, minimizes downtime, and enhances overall manufacturing efficiency.  

    All-in-One variant with advanced dispensing and inspection capabilities

    For manufacturers requiring high-precision dispensing capabilities, the FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra are also available as All-in-One variants. These models integrate Essemtec’s advanced dispensing technology, including High-Speed Solder Paste Jetting with Jet-on-the-Fly. This solution achieves impressive speeds, capable of jetting to an average of 280,000 dots per hour on standard boards and nearly 500,000 dots per hour on BGA patterns. Furthermore, Inspection capabilities guarantees highest quality demands. The All-in-One variants further extend Essemtec’s commitment to flexibility and efficiency in electronics manufacturing.  

    A new era of performance and flexibility

    With the FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra, Essemtec reinforces its commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology that combines speed, precision, and flexibility. These next-generation machines empower manufacturers to optimize their SMT assembly processes while maintaining the highest levels of quality and efficiency. The IPC Hermes and CFX are also supported to ensure a seamless integration into any factory environment. These next-generation machines push the boundaries of speed, precision, and versatility, making them the ultimate choice for high-mix electronics manufacturing.  

    Grow over time with multiple machines inline

    Essemtec’s modular approach allows manufacturers to easily scale production. The FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra can be seamlessly integrated into inline configurations, enabling a smooth transition from single-machine operation to a high-performance production line. Additionally, existing machines can be upgraded with advanced features, ensuring that customers can enhance their capabilities without the need for complete system replacements. Whether adding more machines for increased throughput or upgrading individual units to meet evolving production demands, Essemtec provides a future-proof solution for growing businesses.  

    Olivier Carnal, General Manager of Essemtec, commented: “We are thrilled to introduce the FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra to the market. These machines represent a significant advancement in our portfolio, reinforcing our commitment to delivering high-performance solutions that empower our customers. With enhanced speed, flexibility, and smart software integration including regular free software updates, we continue to support our customers in optimizing their production processes and achieving greater efficiency.”
