Chip mounters work by using a head which picks up the chips from a feeder system by suction. It then places them on a PCB, in a specific location where an adhesive or solder material has been applied. Smaller size chips can be quite difficult to manipulate for such machines without relying on the right sensors.
Chip mounter
Reliable and precise placement on printed circuit boards
How our sensors make a difference
Yield and reliability through automation
The automated mechanism of the chip mounter offers high reliability which is critical when handling micrometer-scale chips
Throughput increase
As opposed to manually soldering chips on a PCB, chip mounters can place thousands of pieces per hour in a fast and accurate manner
Cost optimization
Combining high throughput and enhanced reliability, the chip mounter ultimately reduces costs and optimizes the fabrication process by making it more robust again failures

Go to slide 1
Small form factor sensors can be easily integrated and reduce the chip mounter’s head size and weight. This in turn improves its spatial performance and operation speed, respectively, as it can place more chips simultaneously and faster
Go to slide 2
Highly reliable sensors can help improve the performance of chip mounters all the while reducing costs by detecting failures before heavy losses occur
