NPM-VF is a dual-gantry, multi-head, odd-form placement and insertion machine. Achieves 4,500cph throughput within narrow footprint of a compact SMT mounter. Standard vacuum nozzle handles a gamut of packages and three additional process heads available for components up to 130x35mm and 60mm tall, requiring 100N force (nearly 22.5 lbf). Has a body chuck for gripping large odd-form devices without a pick surface (e.g., power transformers), lead chuck for gripping through-hole devices (e.g., electrolytic capacitors), and swing nozzle for inserting through-hole devices oriented in packaging other than insertion orientation. Tenders myriad feeder types from bowl feeders to stackable stick, through-hole, vacuum-formed/JEDEC trays, and tape feeders up to 104mm. Active clinch system secures various through-hole lead diameters at multiple rotations. When not required, clinch doubles as localized board support for snap-in/press-fit components.
