MR Series placement machines include 4th generation linear motors, electronic eX feeders, and machine and NPI software. Feeder capacity is 120 slots; part capacity is 25mm. Smart eX feeders reportedly index six times faster than previous design. Series includes four models: two single gantry, single conveyor, and two dual gantry dual conveyor models. Include two versions of heads on the single or dual gantry drive system. Higher-speed machines have six module-type heads per gantry; flexible versions have four precision heads per gantry. ZHMD sensor electronically measures Z height of stick and tray parts.

DeltaProbe is an add-on technology for periodic profile capture. Offers process control without the need for test boards. Uses Smartlink interface; can hold product and process recipe information. Measurement sensors capture process records without a test card or wires. Is fitted to an adjustable frame; can be changed to the width of the printed circuit board being measured. Matched sensors show performance problems across the width of the oven heater. There are independent limit settings per oven zone. Can be used once a temperature profile is captured from a real test PCB.
