Universal Instruments‘ Quadris placement machine is a quad-beam solution that complements the portfolio consisting of the dual-beam Genesis and single-beam AdVantis as well as the HSP. Quadris achieves 62,000cph speed within a small footprint, setting the performance standard for concentrated throughput in a four-gantry system. With this addition, the supplier sets out to satisfy the demands of manufacturers who need very high placement rates, the highest possible productivity, and reliable performance in placing small passives, larger leaded and area-array packages or non-standard components. The hybrid four-beam SMT placement system incorporates the advantages of both turret-style and overhead gantry technologies to deliver exceptional performance in a small footprint. Its dual-drive linear motors combine rapid acceleration with high-accuracy positioning. Reliable operation is achieved via proven turret technology. Also important is the efficiency in placing the smallest SMD passives and delivering true 0201 placement capability, while also addressing advanced packages including CSPs and extending to BGA, PQFP and other parts with edge length up to 20mm. For maximum placement reliability and ultimate productivity, the machine features automated placement height optimization. Patented 12-spindle direct-drive heads further boost productivity with on-the-fly gang recognition. The transfer system automatically centers boards between feeder banks for optimal balancing across the beams.
