Release of the new Yamaha module type Surface Mounter "YG88" With dramatic improvement in mounting versatility and further advances in speed and accuracy

(1) Improved versatility to handle a wider range of parts and boards

-

A new platform design has enabled a change in the feeder exchange spec that increases the number of types of chips that can be handled by 18% compared to the existing model. In terms of 8mm tape feeders that means an increase to 90. Also, when using tray feeders, the new platform can handle up to the width of 440mm without impairing with board.

-

The tray feeder mechanism has been newly designed to handle up to 50% more types of parts. And, by making the tray storage portion a magazine type, ease of set-up has also been improved.

-

Versatility has been greatly improved. Expanding the range of part sizes that can be recognized and mounted up to a maximum part Height of 25.5 mm and a width of 54 mm, the versatility of each mounter in terms of part sizes has been greatly increased.

-

Major strengthening of the "auto nozzle station" such as increasing the number of nozzle holders to three specialized Ф25 nozzles and adding adaptors to handle long nozzles and gripper nozzles, has made it possible to handle a larger variety of parts than ever before.

-

Addition of a "simple load weight control head" system has improved effectiveness in pressure insertion and assembly of parts like connectors.

-

A newly designed lighting for the part recognition system has improved recognition performance with parts such as mirror-like lead parts, while the new lighting for board mark recognition has made it possible to achieve good recognition even with solder levelers and flake boards.

(2) Pursuit of high-speed mounting

-

The adoption of a triple head has enabled high-speed mounting of larger parts (chips). The result is a 15% increase in mounting tact speed from 0.55 sec./chip to 0.48 sec./chip.

(3) Pursuit of high-speed board transfer

-

Switching from the conventional sequential circuit board transfer (flow) system to a conveyer system that moves all the boards at once has resulted in a big reductions in the time needed for board transfer and replacement.

(4) Pursuit of consistent high-accuracy mounting

-

For the basic structure, a high-durability high-precision monocoque frame is adopted. In addition to ensuring that high-precision is maintained during facility movement, it also helps maintain a high level of operating accuracy over long hours of use.

-

FEM structural analysis technology has been used from the design stage to ensure structural rigidity that reduces vibration.

-

The Yamaha MACS (Multiple Accuracy Compensation System) has been adopted. This is a system that guarantees full-time mounting accuracy by performing comprehensive and multi-aspect accuracy compensation with regard to such accuracy-distorting factors as the limits of the part pick-up accuracy, temperature changes and discrepancies accumulating over time. This guarantees a consistent mounting accuracy to ±0.05mm all the time.

(5) Pursuit of flexibility

-

Adoption of the Yamaha-exclusive FNC (Flying Nozzle Exchange) system enables nozzle changing without sacrificing speed, thus enabling both flexibility and high-speed operation.

(6) Pursuit of the module concept

-

Using the existing models same mainstay components, such as the feeder mechanism, vision system and operation software has helped maintain a low product price.

-

The compact size of the unit becomes an advantage in terms of greater flexibility with regard to line restructuring made necessary by shorter product cycles and big changes in operating load.

-

IT options are provided for "improving operating efficiency" and "strengthening quality control."
Clients can select from "Chips-remaining counter," "Set-up verification," "Part lot tracing" and "Automatic set-up change" functions. (Optional)
