With demand for its products and services enjoying unabated growth, Protonic Holland BV, a leading European developer and manufacturer of custom electronic equipment, has invested in a new MYDATA MY100DX14 pick-and-place machine. This complements the company’s existing MYDATA MY19 machine to give a total throughput capacity of 55,000 cph. The new configuration also offers positions for up to 384x8 mm feeders and up to 32 tray feeders.

The installation of the new machine will allow Protonic to handle an exceptionally diverse range of components efficiently and economically, enabling it to satisfy the fast-changing requirements of its customers in the automotive, medical, industrial control, energy and machinery sectors. In addition, the increase in throughput capacity will allow the company to provide even faster deliveries on the mid-volume production runs in which it specialises.

Protonic selected a MYDATA MY100DX14 machine to expand its capacity because of the excellent performance of its existing MYDATA machine, and because of the quality of support provided by the MYDATA organisation. Ease of integration with the company’s existing systems was another important factor.

One of the latest generation of MYDATA machines, the new MY100DX14 purchased by Protonic incorporates a dual X-drive system that combines high speed with high precision, advanced vision systems and state-of-the-art linear drive motor technology. Operating as a standalone machine it has a top speed of 34,000 components per hour and, with 18 nozzles in total, it is capable of efficiently and reliably mounting a vast mix of component types.
