Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
A pick-and-place machine retrieves components from feeders or other supply formats, positions each component by machine vision and motion control, and places the component on a board at the programmed location. A modular placement platform divides the work across heads or modules so different component sizes and placement tasks can be handled within the same machine family.
The Fuji NXT M 3 belongs in the SMT assembly flow after solder paste printing and before reflow soldering. The Fuji NXT M 3 places components onto prepared circuit boards for later solder attachment in the reflow process.
| Designation | Generation | Vintage | Changes | Source |

Machines of this class handle a wide range of surface-mount components, including tiny chip resistors and capacitors, small outline transistors, leaded ICs, ball-grid-array packages, and sometimes specialized components like connectors, shields, or edge-mounted parts, depending on the placement head and feeder configuration.
Routine maintenance includes cleaning and lubrication of linear guides and ball screws, periodic calibration of the placement head and vision system, inspection of vacuum nozzles for wear or blockage, and regular verification of feeder alignment. Preventive maintenance is usually performed at intervals set by the equipment maker.
Many SMT placement systems can handle flexible printed circuits and panels of unusual shape when equipped with appropriate PCB supports or tooling. However, because board handling relies on conveyor rails and clamping, very thin or soft materials may require dedicated carriers or special process tooling to maintain placement accuracy.
