The Yamaha YS 12 is a Pick and Place system. The Yamaha YS 12 dates from 2013.[1]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedPick and place machines use a moving head or gantry to retrieve components from feeder tapes or trays and place them at programmed coordinates on the PCB. A vision system aligns the component leads or pads with the board pattern before placement.
Multiple placement heads can operate in parallel to increase throughput. The machine can handle a range of component sizes and types, from small passive devices to larger integrated circuits.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedIn an SMT assembly line, the pick and place machine follows a solder paste printer that deposits paste on the PCB pads. After component placement, the board passes to a reflow oven where the solder paste is melted to form permanent electrical and mechanical connections.
