NPM-GW Modular Placement Machine Enables High-Speed Precision
The NPM-GW Modular Placement Machine is a modular placement system that supports high-speed electronics manufacturing with intelligent automation capabilities.
With a maximum speed of 104,000 components/h using the FC16 head, the system delivers placement accuracy of ±0.00098 in (±25 µm). The NPM-GW handles a broad spectrum of component sizes, from 0201 chips to larger packages, making it usable for different production requirements.
The machine supports real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and integrates with AI-driven production planning tools as part of a broader autonomous factory concept. Its dual conveyor configuration accommodates both long and short printed circuit board (PCB) setups. Smart feeder options—including Intelligent Tape Feeders (ITF) and Auto Setting Feeders (ASF)—automate component loading to minimize downtime.
