Yamaha YSM20R Pick and Place

(1/6) > >>

kaevee:
We're in the process of setting up a new SMT line, and we're exploring the capabilities of the Yamaha YSM20R, particularly with its dual heads. We have a question regarding the pick-and-place functionality: Will both heads on the YSM20R simultaneously pick up components from feeders located on both sides, or is there a specific configuration or limitation to consider? Your insights and experiences with this machine would be greatly appreciated as we plan the optimization of our production process.

I don't know the Yamaha line up but smtnet has a lot more people that do.  I've got a dual head machine and and dual beam machine.  I'm not sure if other brands are the same as UIC but the dual beam one can be picking and one can be placing or they can place on non overlapping areas but they can only pick from their own side.  With the dual head machine (GX11) it has got 2 heads with different spindle sizes on a single thing that moves, so they can't move independently.  Just gives you a wider range of nozzles / grabbers for odd form.

Probably, it is the same with YSM20R too, where the heads will pick up only from their own side.

SMTech:
1 beam for front 1 for rear would be my understanding, optimal throughput is probably achieved in dual lane config. Yamaha is quite good for video of the machine and workflow diagrams to understand a lot of the platform without asking a rep. I can't recall if its Yamaha or Hanwha that has/had a 4 head machine where the board gets passed through all 4 quadrants of the machine to be serviced by each head.

Much like a line made of of multiple machines, the catch with multiple gantries is balancing the load between each machine or gantry so buying the extra planning and balancing software gets more important the more efficient you want to be. The 1 head focus of these newer platforms removes ending up with gantries or machines that have nothing to do  because the current assembly doesn't need their capability.

In YSM20R dual head configuration, the front head will pick up from front feeders and rear head will pick up from rear feeders. This was confirmed by the rep.
