Release of the “YS24X” Compact High-speed Flexible Modular Mounter
A surface mounter with great versatility, space-saving design and capability to mount larger components

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. has developed the new “YS24X” surface mounter with a compact platform and two mounting heads capable of handling large and irregularly shaped components plus the various optical recognition systems and lighting fixtures to enable outstanding component handling. This new model will be released in March 2010.
The new YS24X achieves excellent productivity in relation to surface area and great versatility with its capability to accommodate a wide variety of electronic components, including irregularly shaped components up to 45mm × 45mm and 15mm in height.
Despite its compact platform with a width of just 1.25 m, this model has two multi-heads on independent beams with each head having 10 nozzles in an in-line configuration to achieve a superior mounting capability of 54,000 CPH^*1 (0.067 sec./chip: Under optimum conditions as defined by Yamaha Motor) and also has the capability to accommodate extra large PCB (printed circuit boards), up to L700 × W460mm. What’s more, this model is complete with the optical verification functions and lighting to enable detection of defects and flaws of all ball electrodes and a coplanarity check^*2 function, a large-sized nozzle station designed to hold a large number of nozzles to accommodate a wide range of electronic components and compatibility with the sATS 15-tray × 2 magazine automatic-replacement tray supply unit (option) to enable great flexibility in application.
Plans call for the new YS24X “39^th Internepcon Japan” show featuring electronics mounting technology that will be held from January 20 to 22 at Tokyo Big Sight, Japan (Ariake Koto-ku, Tokyo).

Outline of Market Background and Product

In recent years, chip (electronic component) mounting facilities are confronted with a diverse range of demands, including adapting to new LED products, large flat-screen televisions and mobile devices and the new components they utilize. At the same time, they must also be able to make the efficient use of plant space, have flexible line configurations, while reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
The “YS24X” is a model that has been developed to respond to these market needs while also achieving great versatility with the capability to handle large and irregularly shaped components and accommodate two or more kinds of tray component supply. When used inline with Yamaha Motor’s YS24 model, with its highest level of area productivity, this new model makes it possible to create production lines that can accommodate a wider range of product genres while further boosting productivity.
