What it is

The Universal Instruments PEPP 1 DS 1 is a pick-and-place assembly machine used in surface-mount technology (SMT) production. The machine is designed to place surface-mount components onto printed circuit boards.[1][5]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Pick-and-place machines use a gantry system with placement heads that move along beams to pick components from feeder tracks and place them onto circuit boards with precision. The placement heads may use vacuum nozzles to handle components.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

In a surface-mount technology assembly line, the pick-and-place machine operates after solder paste has been applied to the circuit board and before the assembled board enters the reflow oven. The machine receives boards from an upstream conveyor and feeds them to a downstream conveyor after placement.
