Sigma G5S modular mounter has a multi-function head that now features lead-clinching and tamping functionalities. Uses side-mounted lighting and machine vision to identify and locate through-hole component leads. During placement/insertion, clinching simultaneously takes place. Head provides tamping functionality to ensure through-hole component is properly placed, inserted, and seated; is helpful with long card edge connectors. Head picks up component with Gripper nozzle; places the connector via insertion pressure on the center of the component. Head can be programmed to tamp one end, then the other, with up to 10Kg pressure if needed.

Scorpion rework system now includes an automatic placement package capable of 50mm of motorized travel in the Z-axis and 360° in ϴ. Automatic placement package offers fine motor control in the Z-axis and ϴ during alignment of the component to the pad. Includes a force feedback control during the placement process, enabling the unit to pick and place components without disturbing the component or solder. Is now available in a Mobile version with a 1080p, high-def camera system that enables alignment and positioning of components before placement; is for use with smaller packages up to 25mm x 25mm. New digital controls have been implemented to control the light levels of the top and bottom LED lighting modules. Polarized filter feature is now standard. New upgrade kits include a side-view camera, contactless IR sensor, and thermal and airflow calibration kits.
