Royal Philips Electronics subsidiary Assembléon showed the new Yamaha YS24 pick & place machine at Productronica 2009. Appearing for the first time in Europe, the full-featured dual-sided machine has a total of 120 feeder positions in a space of just two square meters. With speeds up to 72,000 components per hour, that makes the YS24 by far the world’s most productive machine per square meter. The continuous drive to cut cost of operations makes area productivity a key performance indicator. Ultra compact machines like the YS24 can produce up to 30% higher output from the same floor space. That raises earnings while also making better use of resources, maintenance and energy.

This preview of the YS24 is another example of the 20 year old trade partnership between Assembléon and Yamaha - the longest running in the automatic assembly business between a European and Japanese company. Next year, Assembléon plans to introduce its own version of the machine in those regions where it represents Yamaha.

The ultra slim and intelligent electrical feeding platform packs up to 120 feeders into the two square meters. Combined with fine pitch placer like the MC-1 or MC-8, the YS24 brings over 240 feeder positions to a production line. This guarantees the highest flexibility in family setups or high mix production.

The YS24 also performs high quality placement of a wide component range, from 0.4mm by 0.2mm (01005) up to 32mm2. Combined with an MC-1 or MC-8 fine pitch placer, this can increase to 45mm by 100mm by 25mm high.

With the additional capability of handling board sizes up to 700mm long by 460mm wide, the compact YS24 suits virtually any application.
