As talked before, we can find that the pick and place machine is a kind of equipment with complicated technology in both hardware and software. So the elements affecting its price are complex.

Pick and place machine price

2.1 Machine Hardware configuration is one of the factors affecting the final price.

• Feeder Capacity:

Some machines have four feeder stations located at both front and rear sides. Different feeder capacity will cause different prices.

• Mounting Head:

Usually, its placement head is very complex, which is fixed on the end of the axis or is moveable to transfer the chips from the feeder to the printed circuit board. The higher flexibility, the higher price for sure.

• Nozzle:

There are nozzles equipped on the placement head, generally, different machines may have different quantities and types of nozzles.

Besides, there is a PCB platform installed on the machine base, which is for holding the PCB in a certain position during the mounting process. Some machines will cost much more for the nozzles.

• Nozzle change bank:

Sometimes, it is not the standard configuration but the optional choice for customers, but as it is very useful to save the placement cycle time, so many customers would like to have it with the pick and place machine.

• Camera:

It is also a critical part that decides the machine accuracy, at present, the common camera types adopted by the machine manufacturers are flying camera and linear scanning camera, customers can according to their production requirements to make the proper choice.

Also for the machines that have equipped the feeder stations at both the front side and backside, then the customer can choose to have one more camera at the backside, which will increase the placement speed. Absolutely, the additional camera will raise the price.

• Motor System:

All the parts stated before will have an influence on the total price of the pick and place machine.

However, as we all know that the pick and place machine is a fully automatic device, which consists of the X-Y-Z degrees of freedom manipulator, the components on the feeding system, the PCB board transferring system, the visual system,

Motor control system

From all the above, we can see that the motion control is the vital factor that determines the overall machine performance such as the placement accuracy and the placement speed.

Furthermore, the motor-control system decides the core technology of motion control. According to its strong ability, the motion control system takes up the major cost of the price of the pick and place machine.
