In recent years, miniaturization, high-densification, high functionality, and diversification as well as shortened product cycles have increasingly accelerated for a variety of products such as consumer electronics, personal computers, and mobile telephones. Along with faster speeds, flexibility in order to efficiently accommodate small-scale varied production up to mass production on the same line is required in electronic component mounting processing for the above types of products.
In response to this, the newly-developed Σ-F8S premium modular has achieved a new level with the addition of leading-edge technology including a lighter-weight axis drive system and new servo control technology. This model now has an approximately 5 % improved effective tact on average, as well as being capable of handling the extremely small-sized 0201 (0.25 x 0.125 mm) chip components. From mass high-speed production to highly-versatile multi-product capable production comes a complete surface mounter line-up that meets the changing needs of the market. Here, Yamaha Motor takes advantage of its full line-up of surface mounters, solder paste printing equipment, dispensers, and testing systems etc. to achieve improvements in quality and efficiency for production in all types of products through total line-up solutions that build synergies between mounting line equipment.
