No SMT equipment can place accurately and run efficiently without quality nozzles. If the machine is either unable to pick parts consistently or hold on to the components during the transport from feeder to PCB, defects will result. For some odd form components, standard vacuum placement nozzles are not acceptable. For the most complicated components, we can design custom mechanical grippers. These gripper nozzles offerer pneumatically activated jaws for lateral gripping of SMT components. Each nozzle is specifically designed to match the profile and shape of the component to ensure proper placement on the board. If you don’t see your machine or model listed or can’t find the nozzle you are looking for, feel free to contact our knowledgeable sales staff for assistance.
