Mycronic is introducing two new compact pick-and-place machine models to enable high-flexibility production lines with speeds up to 100,000 components per hour. At IPC APEX 2019 (January 29-31, San Diego Convention Center, booth 2141) the company will demonstrate how the new MY300HX and MY300EX can be configured to expand customers' production capacity while maintaining the highest quality and uptime in demanding applications. Among high-mix electronics manufacturers, Mycronic's pick-and-place solutions have long been valued for their high productivity and low cost-per-placement in the most complex production environments. In 2017, the newly designed MY300 models were introduced to meet the challenges of growing product mixes and a wider variety of miniaturized components, with just half the machine footprint compared with the previous MY200. The new MY300HX and MY300EX continue this design evolution, further reducing the machines' footprints to add new configuration possibilities that combine high flexibility with high capacity. The high-speed placer MY300HX and the fine-pitch and odd-shape placer MY300EX offer an array of compact and flexible line configurations. For mid-volume manufacturers and others expanding into larger series production, the most attractive setup includes three machines in a single line. This mid-volume line, to be demonstrated at APEX 2019, promises a strong return on investment for producers who demand the future-proof automation and technical capabilities of an integrated Mycronic system by eliminating the need for a separate, dedicated high-speed line.
