Yamaha Robotics Releases New YRM10, Next-generation Compact High-speed Modular Mounter
January 30, 2024 | Yamaha RoboticsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Yamaha Robotics announced that the new YRM10, a surface mounter that is the world's fastest in 1-Beam/1-Head class mounting performance of 52,000 CPH will be available for purchase from March 1, 2024. This new addition is a next-generation, compact, high-speed modular with space-saving qualities, and provides a combination of component compatibility and versatility.
Bringing together a combination of high-speed and versatility with excellent cost performance, the new YRM10 was developed as a successor to the entry model YSM10.
While maintaining the compact size of the YSM10, this new one uses the next-generation YR series platform and introduces the latest technologies such as high-speed general-purpose versatility head and vision systems from the high-end premium high-efficiency modular YRM20.
The 1-head solution mechanism consisting of 10 in-line heads and scan camera supports a wide range of components while maintaining high speed without the need for head replacement, and simultaneously achieving high mounting accuracy of ±35 μm (Cpk ≥ 1.0).
In addition to supporting high-density mounting of 0201 (0.25 x 0.125 mm) sized ultra-small chips to medium-sized or odd components, production quality capabilities are further improved by equipping the system with a side-view camera and optionally setting a coplanarity checker that detects components with a floating lead.
