Puma.ultra

Strong, flexible, adaptive & modular SMT pick-and-place platform from Essemtec.

Introducing - The Puma - state-of-the-art technology. Expandable in any direction, Puma’s modular architecture grows synchronously with customer requirements for performance and processes. It delivers high-speed placement while also supporting dispensing, making it suitable for ultraflexible, rapid prototyping and series production alike.

Parameters and specifications

Combined processes: High-speed placing and dispensing in a single pass-through; supports 1, 2 or 4 placement axes with up to 1-2 dispense processes.
Productivity: Optimum placement speed up to 30’000 cph (4-axes), with inline configurations offering even higher throughput.
Small footprint: Up to 280 feeder positions on 2 m² (up to 420 inline), with flexible PCB size support.
Mineral cast chassis: Stable, vibration-free structure with minimal warpage and thermal drift.
Quick changeover: Intelligent smart feeder system enables nonstop setup and production changeovers.
Linear motors: Fast, reliable double-drive linear motors with low maintenance and long lifecycle.
