What it is

The Panasonic CM 602 L is a pick-and-place machine used in surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

The CM 602 L uses a gantry-based pick-and-place mechanism. Vacuum nozzles pick components from tape, tray, or tube feeders, and the gantry moves the nozzles to the correct locations on the PCB. The machine employs vision alignment to ensure accurate placement. The feeders are arranged on carts that can be swapped out to change the component mix.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Upstream processes include solder paste printer and solder paste inspection. Downstream processes include reflow soldering, automated optical inspection, and possibly wave soldering for through-hole components if required.
