Yamaha Robotics added three hardware-based performance options for high-speed mounters that enhance productivity, quality control, and flexibility for handling special products such as large LED boards.

Available on all new Yamaha mounters, and are designed for easy fitting to simplify upgrading equipment already in the field.

New features include nozzle-tip force measurement for early detection of issues such as blockages. Accurately tracking any changes in force allows timely nozzle maintenance, such as cleaning, to ensure optimal end-of-line production yield. Implemented with a module fitted at the mounter’s feeder interface, the system provides an easy menu-driven setup and measures the component-placement force to within 0.1N resolution. The nozzle tip force measurement option is available now and compatible with Yamaha YRM mounters.

Also new, LCR verification measures the inductance, capacitance, or resistance value of components in SMD-chip packages to verify the correct part type and tolerance before placement. Detects issues such as feeder errors, reel errors or defective components before placement, to maximize first-pass yield and avoid rework. Can be fitted to Yamaha YRM mounters and legacy YSM machines, with reportedly no special software or hardware modifications required. 

Large board option lets YRM mounters handle boards up to 1.5 meters long and 510mm wide, for populating challenging assemblies such as extra-large LED-lighting boards. Increases maximum board size by more than 30% compared to standard YRM mounters. Accepts boards up to 10mm thick and weighing up to 10kg.

The new options can be implemented individually or together to boost surface-mount production performance and extend the advantages of the Yamaha’s YRP printers, YRM-D dispensers, YRM mounters, and YRi-V inspection systems.
