ysm20_mainMay 15, 2015: The SMT market in India is growing in leaps and bounds, given the massive investments being made of late in the Indian electronics segment. The latest pick-and-place mounters are loaded with features, have become smarter and offer value for money. Featured here are the recently launched low to mid-volume pick-and-place mounters.

Model: Quadra DVC, Brand: TWS, Manufacturer: TWS Automation, Italy

The Quadra DVC pick-and-place machine runs on the Linux operating system and has USB support. User data and software can be easily and quickly saved or loaded using USB Flash memory sticks or other mass storage devices. The innovative dynamic vision centring (DVC) feature replaces the laser centring apparatus with a double telecentric bi-dimensional video camera system offering increased accuracy and control over the position of even the smaller components. The Quadra DVC has an offline camera with an improved lens system and vision algorithms to centre larger components, BGAs and very fine-pitch ICs.
