Once a specific PCB is programmed, the machine automatically picks up each component from its designated feeder or tray, centers the part via laser Cyberoptics® or centering fingers, moves to the placement location via closed loop servo system, and accurately places the part. The feeders automatically position the next component for pick-up. The automatic tool changer picks up the optimal nozzle for each particular component.

The latest pentium PCs are included with these machines and the software is Windows based to
allow easy straightforward teach-in, requiring minimal operator training. Multiple (panelized) boards can be programmed using the quick stepand- repeat feature. Using the dual function camera/computer color monitor, standard PC keyboard and mouse, manual programming of a PCB is easy and intuitive. Using CAD data from various layout systems will speed up the teach-in process for boards with many components.
