Mycronic Showcases GenI-Led Manufacturing Innovations at APEX 2026

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Mycronic is a leading Sweden-based electronics assembly solutions provider and invites visitors to explore their next innovations and discover the factory of the future at APEX 2026, Anaheim, CA., March 17 – 19, booth 2135.

Introducing the new GenI™ Generative AOI Programming

Mycronic will introduce GenI, a groundbreaking solution that autonomously generates production-ready 3D AOI inspection programs using only pick-and-place data and an initial 3D AOI scan.

Are you ready to liberate yourself from AOI programming? This is exactly what GenI offers. Whatever your product mix, full coverage 3D AOI can be just minutes away. With zero model creation. Zero complex AOI engineering. And zero library management.

GenI generative AOI Programming is the first of its kind to autonomously create production-ready 3D AOI inspection programs based solely on pick-and-place and initial 3D AOI scan data. Visit the Mycronic booth and see the confidence of inline 3D AOI metrology for every batch, without the programming downtime. Users can introduce any new product, any new component, and any new layout with total control – and total programming freedom. Discover a new era in generative inspection with Mycronic.

New big board capabilities

Mycronic has launched the MYPro A41DX and A41SX, new pick-and-place units designed for large PCB production, offering enhanced adaptability, efficiency, and performance for future manufacturing needs.

These machines enable assembly of big boards up to 1,000 mm x 609 mm, 12.5 mm thick, and up to 10 kg—ideal for telecom, server, defense, and aerospace industries, where larger boards mean reduced interconnect complexity, greater durability, and lower costs. The A41 series includes benefits from the A40 series, such as the MX7 mounthead, which precisely places a wider range of component sizes on large substrates.

MYPro Create

One dataset. One program. One workflow.

Multi-machine programming just got a lot smoother. At the beginning of 2025, Mycronic rolled out MYPro Create, a software tool that eliminates the need for customers to operate multiple software programs and spending hours on repetitive data entry.

With MYPro Create you have an all-in-one solution for effortless job creation across Mycronic Jet Printers, SPI, and AOI machines from the same data set to achieve fast and streamlined programming.

BA 01 small dot ejector for dispensing flexibility in jet printing 

Introducing the new BA 01 small dot ejector—engineered to redefine flexibility in jet printing for precision, efficiency, and more flexibility.

Small dot dispensing is engineered to meet the demands of modern PCB design, delivering high flexibility and significant performance enhancements for (small) dot volume, size, and pad pitch.

• Minimum dot volume reduced from 1.9 nL to 1.0 nL
• Minimum dot diameter reduced from 215 µm to 180 µm
• Minimum pad pitch reduced from 0.4 mm to 0.35 mm

As PCBs continue to increase in complexity and size, challenges such as board stretch or shrinkage become more common. Advanced jet printing solutions for large and ultra-slim PCBs are uniquely capable of adapting to these changes in real-time, an essential feature for maintaining high yield when working with small pads and fine-pitch components.

Existing MY700 Jet Printer users who are looking for even more flexible paste printing can achieve smaller dot and fine pitch printing with accurate and efficient results with the BA 01 small dot ejector.

Integrated full-line solution

MYPro Line delivers a true full-line, end-to-end assembly solution, empowering Mycronic customers to seamlessly manage evolving workflows. The integrated system connects every process step, from jet to stencil printing to pick-and-place, and inspection and material handling. Coupled with advanced AI-powered software and hardware, Mycronic transforms production data into real-time productivity gains, ensuring customers can flexibly adapt their factory operations to changing market demands.

Mycronic experts in printing, placement, inspection, material handling, and factory connectivity will present the latest innovations at APEX. Attendees will have the opportunity to discover innovative PCB assembly products and solutions developed to address changing industry requirements, as well as to interact directly with Mycronic’s team of specialists.

"Our focus is on building solutions around real customer needs. By working closely across R&D, engineering, and product teams and listening carefully to customer feedback, we are able to deliver the flexibility and speed manufacturers need as the market continues to change," stated Clemens Jargon, Sr. Vice President of PCB Assembly Solutions.
