Nano Dimension’s Essemtec Product Line Unveils FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra, the Next Generation of High-Performance SMT Solutions
March 19, 2025 | Nano DimensionEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Nano Dimension Ltd., a supplier of Digital Manufacturing solutions, announced the launch of its latest high-performance solutions from its Essemtec product line: the FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra.
These next-generation surface mount technology (SMT) platforms are designed to meet the evolving demands of high-precision, high-mix electronics manufacturing. The FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra represent a major advancement in providing significantly increased speed, precision, and flexibility. The pick-and-place speed has been improved to 31,000 components per hour (“CPH”) for the FOX Ultra, and the Puma Ultra to 30,000 CPH. This increase represents more than a 70% improvement in throughput. The FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra are also offered in an All-in-One version, integrating pick & place, dispensing, and inspection capabilities into a single platform.
Olivier Carnal, General Manager for Essemtec at Nano Dimension, shared: “Our FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra systems are engineered to answer the needs of our customers for more speed and flexibility in electronics manufacturing. In constantly listening to our customers’ needs, we learned that not only does yield and placement speed matter - but so does versatility. Our advanced customers in aerospace & defense, automotive, medical electronics, electronic manufacturing services, and high-reliability industrial sectors need a machine that can handle dynamic production schedules, multiple product types, and last-minute changes without sacrificing efficiency. FOX Ultra achieves the same or better placement speed as the current FOX with fewer nozzles, allowing room for dispensing without compromising performance. PUMA Ultra delivers similar benefits, enabling dual dispensing heads, such as glue and solder paste jetting, while maintaining peak pick-and-place speed. Truly versatile.”
Julien Lederman, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Nano Dimension, added, “The FOX Ultra and PUMA Ultra exemplify our commitment to technological innovation and customer-driven solutions. I am extremely proud of our team for designing and producing these machines, which represent a significant improvement in speed, flexibility, and performance.”
