Yamaha Plans European Reveal of New YSP10 Printer Featured for Automated Changeovers

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Yamaha Motor Europe SMT section will showcase the latest innovations from its Total Line Solution for high-productivity surface-mount assembly, including the richly automated new YSP10 screen printer, at 2019 SMTconnect show, Nuremberg, May 7-9.

Headlining at Yamaha’s booth, 319, hall 4, the YSP10 minimizes the most time-consuming part of the screen-print process with new features for fully automated changeovers. Automatic push-up pin exchange, stencil replacement, and solder-paste gathering for direct transfer to the new stencil cut human intervention to an all-time low. Cycle time is also 20% faster, setting the world’s best tact time, and the enlarged standard maximum board size of 510mm x 510mm handles large display-backlight panels, industrial boards, and more with ease.

Alongside the advanced printer, Yamaha will demonstrate precision solder-paste inspection with the YSi-SP. Proprietary high-speed algorithms accelerate the 2D and 3D inspection modes, and switchable super-high resolution gives extra accuracy where needed. YSi-SP captures the data needed for deeper insights into the print process that reveal new ways of boosting productivity, and integrates smoothly with other equipment in the Yamaha Total Line Solution to put the results of analysis into action.

Next on the booth, the YSM20R high-speed modular mounter combines Yamaha’s one-head solution that minimizes reconfiguration stoppages with component recognition on the move and placement of the latest 0201 (0.25mm x 0.125mm) SMD chips to enhance capability and efficiency. Increased structural rigidity allows higher X-Y axis speeds, contributing to 5% greater throughput compared to the YSM20. Auto-Loading Feeders and the Auto Tray Sequencer for non-stop tray replacement make the most of the YSM20R’s superior mounting speed of 95,000 cph.

Bringing everything together, the YSi-V post-placement inspection system demonstrates the latest features including a full-HD LCD touch panel with enhanced navigation for programming and character-recognition algorithms to boost usability. The 12-Mpixel camera combines unbeatable performance with great value, consolidating 2D, 3D, and oblique-angled inspection for coplanarity and height as a single cost-effective unit. Also featuring Yamaha’s exclusive image-capture technology, the YSi-V delivers more than double the inspection capability of ordinary inspection systems.

With the Factory Tools 4.0 software suite, the most complete software solution for Industry 4.0, completing the digital connection of machines, materials, humans, and method, Yamaha will demonstrate how its True Total Line Solution fulfils production demands from entry level, through high-mix medium/high-volume up to ultra-mass production.

Engineering and sales experts will be available throughout the event, at hall 4, booth 319, May 7-9, to guide visitors through all Yamaha’s solutions to power the future of high-tech manufacturing.

About Yamaha SMT Section

Yamaha Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Section is a subdivision of Yamaha Motor Robotics Business Unit in Yamaha Motor Corporation. Yamaha surface mount equipment is highly acclaimed in the market for their “module concept” that enables them to keep pace with the trend toward smaller and more diverse electric/electronic parts being mounted on circuit boards.

Yamaha SMT Section has created a strong business in the surface mount industry that enables design and engineering, manufacture, sales and service to be conducted in one comprehensive system. Furthermore, the Company has used its core technologies in the areas of servo-motor control and image recognition technology for vision (camera) systems to develop solder paste printers, 3D solder paste inspection, 3D PCB inspection machines, flip chip hybrid placers and dispensers. This allows Yamaha SMT Section to offer a full line of machines for electric/electronic parts mounting and propose optimum production-line makeup to answer the diversifying needs of today’s manufacturers.

Yamaha SMT Section has sales and service offices in Japan, China, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America provide a truly global sales and service network that will safeguard best in class on-site sales & service support for clients
