Equipment category
Individual SMT equipment
Add or replace one machine instead of a complete line.
Start selecting equipment
Start from your production needs, then discuss equipment that fits alongside the machines you already run.
Start from your production need
Capacity, product mix, quality and material flow lead to different equipment choices.
More placement capacity
Discuss placement equipment and feeders for your component mix and volumes.
Ask about this requirement →Printing and inspection
Look at printing, SPI and AOI when defining inspection tasks and process feedback.
Ask about this requirement →Material flow
Explore receiving, storage, reel supply and counting.
Explore this topic →Through-hole assembly
Explore manual assembly stations, THT lines and soldering tasks.
Explore this topic →An unclear constraint
Assess the existing line before choosing additional equipment.

Equipment across your production
Equipment for material logistics, SMT assembly, THT, testing, coating and repair. Explore the areas that matter to your products and processes.
Explore four production areas
Materials & logistics
Component storage, labelling, counting, trolley kitting and magazine storage.
Explore this topic →SMT assembly
Printing, SPI, placement, reflow and AOI. Board handling connects the selected stations.
Ask about this requirement →THT & manual assembly
THT lines, manual stations and soldering processes for through-hole components.
Explore this topic →Test, coating & repair
Discuss ICT, coating and repair requirements in the context of your production.

SMT equipment by task
Choose individual equipment from these station types. Confirm compatibility and configuration before a proposal.
Board handling
Loaders, destackers, conveyors, buffers and unloaders connect the machines in a line. Match the transfer system to your boards and the equipment already installed.
Questions for selection
- Board dimensions and thickness
- Magazine or stack loading
- Buffers and existing machine interfaces
Screen printer
Applies solder paste through a stencil before placement. Product changes, stencil format and paste requirements influence the choice.
Questions for selection
- PCB and stencil formats
- Fine pitch and changeovers
SPI
Solder-paste inspection before placement checks the printed paste. Define which defects should be detected and what data your process needs.
Questions for selection
- Inspection requirements and line speed
- Traceability and process data
Pick & place
Places SMD components on the board. Select placement capacity for your component mix, volume and changeover frequency rather than a headline speed alone.
Questions for selection
- Smallest and largest components
- Volume per shift and product mix
- Feeder positions and changeovers
Feeder
Tape, stick and tray supply must suit both the components and the placement machine. Compatibility is part of the equipment selection.
Questions for selection
- Tape widths and packaging
- Required positions and machine compatibility
Reflow
A reflow oven solders assembled SMT boards using a controlled thermal profile. Board properties, process requirements and available space determine the configuration.
Questions for selection
- Board size, weight and line speed
- Thermal profile and nitrogen requirements
AOI
Automated optical inspection checks assembled boards, for example after reflow. Agree the inspection tasks and how results feed back into your production.
Questions for selection
- Components and defects to inspect
- Line speed and traceability
Equipment questions
Can I discuss a single machine?
Yes. You can discuss a single machine or several units alongside the equipment you already use. The configuration and commercial terms are agreed individually.
What information helps select equipment?
Products, component and board formats, volumes, changeovers, installed equipment and available space help define a suitable configuration.
Plan equipment and terms together
Prices, term, installation, training and support are agreed in your proposal. Any warranty arrangements depend on the contract.
Your next step
Discuss your requirement
Select the topics you want to discuss, then add your production location and timeframe.
