Panasonic Factory Solutions Co., Ltd.

Simultaneously achieve high productivity and high accuracy placement

Panasonic Factory Solutions Co., Ltd., a business unit of Panasonic Corporation, announced today that it will begin taking orders for its New Production Modular, NPM-TT2 (Model No. NM-EJM1E) in February, 2016. The NPM-platform supports Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes including component mounting, adhesive dispensing, and inspection of printed circuit boards.
Flexibility is critical in today's SMT factory and the NPM-TT2 adapts to a wide variety of manufacturing conditions and characteristics such as different production volumes and variation in component packaging. The NPM-TT2 reduces system changeover time, therefore, helps customers meet market requirements of shorter product life cycles.
Beyond evolving with the markets' needs, the NPM-TT2 was also designed for increased productivity and yield of large, odd-form component placement with our award winning, new multi-recognition camera, and other improved technologies.
Panasonic continues to provide customers with solutions such as the NPM-TT2 for the SMT process and contribute to the reduction of TCO^*2.

• Complete independent mounting while front and back trays are in operation is achieved by direct lane linkup to NPM-W2 or NPM-D3 configured lines This enables optimum line setup for flexible production from mass production to small lot production.

• Multi-mode recognition camera increases productivity of large odd-form component placement.
• Unified NPM-D3 and NPM-W2 recognition data

• Improved changeover efficiency exchanging our single tray feeder and 17-feeder cart systems. This enables increased operational efficiency as today's manufacturers face increased product and packaging diversity.
