At the IPC Apex Expo, Panasonic Factory Solutions Company of America introduced the AM100, a single machine solution for productivity and versatility. The modular placement machine features a single head (single beam) capable of placing an impressive component array ranging from 0402mm to 120x90x28mm, large connectors, odd-shaped components and advanced packaging types such as PoP.
“The new Panasonic AM100 further expands our commitment to the high- market and pushes our broad portfolio of any-mix solutions to an even higher level,” stated Faisal Pandit, President Panasonic Factory Soltuions Company of America.
From mobile to industrial, manufacturers can prepare their next product while production is running for non-stop changeover and put to use a variety of highly flexible configurations and component supply types. Flexible setup is further enhanced by Feeder Anywhere and Nozzle Anywhere features as well as through use of PanaCIM Material Verification. Large boards can be processed on the system and advanced features including a component thickness camera, auto-support pin exchange, PCB warpage detection and tray verification are also available.
Only one machine is required to get production started and it’s easy to add more units or technologies as demands change. In addition to serving as a start-up machine for a news production line, existing customers of the company will appreciate the asset protection between the new system and the CM and NPM equipment lines. Feeders, multi-functional nozzles and chucks are all interchangeable between the three series.
