Panasonic Factory Solutions Co., Ltd., a business unit of Panasonic Corporation, announced today that it will begin taking orders for its New Production Modular, NPM-TT2 (Model No. NM-EJM1E) in February, 2016. The NPM-platform supports Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes including component mounting, adhesive dispensing, and inspection of printed circuit boards.
Flexibility is critical in today’s SMT factory and the NPM-TT2 adapts to a wide variety of manufacturing conditions and characteristics such as different production volumes and variation in component packaging. The NPM-TT2 reduces system changeover time, therefore, helps customers meet market requirements of shorter product life cycles.
Beyond evolving with the markets’ needs, the NPM-TT2 was also designed for increased productivity and yield of large, odd-form component placement with our award winning, new multi-recognition camera, and other improved technologies.
Panasonic continues to provide customers with solutions such as the NPM-TT2 for the SMT process and contribute to the reduction of TCO^*2.

Features

1. Achieve complete independent mounting by direct dual lane across the NPM family

Details of features

1. Achieve complete independent mounting by direct dual lane across the NPM family

Complete independent mounting while front and back trays are in operation is achieved by direct lane linkup to NPM-W2 or NPM-D3 configured lines This enables optimum line setup for flexible production from mass production to small lot production.

2. Increase productivity of large, odd-form component mounting

Multi-mode recognition camera increases productivity of large odd-form component placement.
Unified NPM-D3 and NPM-W2 recognition data

3. Strengthen adaptability for Any Mix manufacturing

Improved changeover efficiency exchanging our single tray feeder and 17-feeder cart systems. This enables increased operational efficiency as today’s manufacturers face increased product and packaging diversity.
