Fox.ultra

Smart, compact and agile pick-and-place platform for flexible SMT production

Introducing – The FOX technology – for all types of components and devices. Expandable in any direction. The FOX can drive up to 200 feeders, illustrating its dedication to high-mix production. Due to its small footprint and reasonable weight, the machine is ideal for use in limited space production areas, even on upper floors.

Parameters and specifications

Combined processes: Placing & dispensing in a single pass-through; jet dispensing of solder paste or glue.
Productivity: Up to 9’100 – 31’000 cph per module (depending on configuration).
Small footprint: Up to 200 feeder lanes on 1 m²; up to 420 feeder lanes per line.
Mineral cast chassis: No vibration, symmetrical mineral casting; no warpage, no thermal drift.
Quick changeover: Nonstop production; intelligent smart feeder with production changeover.
Linear motors: Fast, reliable double-drive linear motors; no maintenance required and longest lifetime.
