Topaz X II Placement
Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
How it works
The Topaz X II uses a single beam gantry system. Two head configurations are available: a Super Fine (SF) head with eight placement heads, and a Flying Nozzle Change (FNC) head combination carrying four standard heads and four heads with nozzle exchange on-the-fly. Components are picked from tape, tray, stick, or waffle-pack feeders and placed onto PCBs transported by a conveyor.[2][4]
Alignment is performed by a line array camera for on-the-fly vision using the VICS processing system, and an area CCD camera for larger components. Fiducial alignment uses a moving CCD camera. The machine operates under Windows NT.[2][4]

Frequently asked questions
What is the placement speed of the Topaz X II?
The optimal placement speed is 20,000 CPH (components per hour). The IPC 9850 standard output is 15,400 CPH.[2]
What is the mounting accuracy?
Placement accuracy is ±50 microns at CpK 1 for chips and SOIC, ±40 microns for QFPs with 0.5 mm pitch, and ±35 microns for QFPs with 0.4 mm pitch. Angular accuracy for fine-pitch QFPs is ±0.09°.[2][4]
What is the maximum PCB size it can handle?
The maximum board size is 460 x 440 mm. A large-board option supports 650 x 850 mm. Minimum board size is 50 x 50 mm.[2]
What head configurations are available?
Two head options exist: one single beam with 8 super fine (SF) heads, or one single beam carrying 4 standard heads and 4 heads with nozzle exchange on-the-fly (FNC).[2]
