Designed to balance speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency, this surface mounter helps SMEs automate placement, improve yields, and scale production flexibly.
Small and medium electronics manufacturers are under growing pressure to increase output, improve quality, and shorten delivery timelines while keeping capital investment under control. Manual placement and outsourced assembly models often fall short, particularly as product complexity rises and order volumes fluctuate. For many SMEs, upgrading to a high speed SMT placement system has become essential to remain competitive and move toward smarter manufacturing.
NeoDen addresses these requirements with the N10P SMT placement machine, developed to deliver industrial grade performance in SME friendly production environments. The system targets faster return on investment and flexible line operation. By automating placement tasks that typically require multiple skilled operators, it helps improve first pass yield, reduce labour dependency, and support urgent or small batch production demands.
The platform combines a multi head architecture that enables simultaneous pick and place operations to increase components per hour with a dual vision system using a flying camera for high speed correction of small passives and a dedicated IC camera for precise recognition of complex packages, helping sustain high throughput and placement accuracy. Stability is reinforced through magnetic scale based closed loop control on the X and Y axes for repeatable performance during extended operation, while a three section automatic conveyor supports seamless integration with loaders, reflow ovens, unloaders, and long board applications such as LED assemblies.
Handling of complex BOM is further supported by a wide range of feeder and nozzle options, alongside software features including one click import from common EDA tools, automatic programming with path optimisation, and bad mark detection to reduce rework and component waste, positioning the system as a practical and low maintenance upgrade path for growing manufacturers.
Key features of the machine include:
- High speed placement performance exceeding 25,000 CPH
- 8 independent placement heads
- Dual vision system with flying and IC cameras
- Magnetic scale closed loop motion control with ±25 μm repeatability
- 3 section automatic conveyor with long board support up to 1500 mm
- 33 feeder positions and thirty nine nozzle options
- Compatibility with standard SMT stencil printing workflows
By combining automation, accuracy, and operational simplicity, the platform supports more self reliant and scalable SMT production for SMEs.
