What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Panasonic NPM-W 2 is a pick-and-place machine used in surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly for printed circuit boards.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Pick-and-place machines retrieve electronic components from feeders and accurately position them onto solder-pasted locations on a circuit board.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In an SMT assembly line, pick-and-place machines follow solder paste printing and precede reflow soldering.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Panasonic NPM-W 2 is used for assembling printed circuit boards with surface-mount components in electronics manufacturing.

The machine supports general SMT assembly for industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial controls.
