Yamaha Motor IM Europe announces that the high efficiency modular Z:LEX YSM20W has been launched on February 1st, 2016.

The Z:LEX YSM20W, retains the flexibility and efficiency across a range of diverse production conditionsand the same high-speed capability, component handling, and scalability as the high-efficiency Z:LEX SM20 mounter. In addition, the Z:LEX YSM20W is a Z:LEX wide-body model that features significantly increased PCB adaptability, and which can handle extra-large-sized PCB’s up to L810 x W742 mm. YSM20W is the largest dual lane machine with 2 x 356 mm board width.

The new Z:LEX YSM20W has been displayed at the 45th INTERNEPCON JAPAN trade show for electronics manufacturing and surface mount technology (SMT) last January 13-15, 2016 in Tokyo.

In recent years, miniaturization, high-densification, high functionality, and diversification as well as shortened product cycles have increasingly accelerated for a variety of products such as consumer electronics, personal computers, and mobile telephones. Along with faster speeds, flexibility in order to efficiently accommodate small-scale varied production up to mass production on the same line is required in electronic component mounting processing for the above types of products.

A new edition in the Z:LEX series, the YSM20W, provides flexibility and efficiency in various forms of production without the need for replacing the head thanks to the “1 head-solution” concept. This new model is a wide-body version of the Z:LEX YSM20 universal modular, and it provides both high-speed and versatility at a high level. It is now capable of handling extra-large-sized PCB’s for automotive products, industrial, medical, power devices, and LED lighting etc. with its significantly increased adaptability to PCB sizes and weight. In addition to this, the dual-lane specification provides benefits from mass production in dual-lane production with its ability to handle not only small mobile device type small PCB work, but also PCB’s at larger than M sizes.

From mass high-speed production to highly-versatile multi-product capable production comes a complete surface mounter line-up that meets the changing needs of the market. Here, Yamaha Motor takes advantage of its full line-up of surface mounters, solder paste printing equipment, dispensers, and testing systems etc. to achieve improvements in quality and efficiency for production in all types of products through total line-up solutions that build synergies between mounting line equipment.

About Yamaha Robotics SMT Section
Yamaha Surface Mount Technology (SMT) Section is a subdivision of Yamaha Motor Robotics Business Unit in Yamaha Motor Corporation. Yamaha surface mount equipment is highly acclaimed in the market for their “module concept” that enables them to keep pace with the trend toward smaller and more diverse electric/electronic parts being mounted on circuit boards.

Yamaha SMT Section has created a strong business in the surface mount industry that enables design and engineering, manufacture, sales and service to be conducted in one comprehensive system. Furthermore, the Company has used its core technologies in the areas of servo-motor control and image recognition technology for vision (camera) systems to develop solder paste printers, 3D solder paste inspection, 3D PCB inspection machines, flip chip hybrid placers and dispensers.
