Discover Jeenoce's precision placement systems for components from 01005 to large ICs. Achieve micron-level accuracy, 92,000 CPH speed, and seamless SMT line integration for automotive, medical, and consumer electronics. Boost your yield and efficiency.
In the overall SMT process, the placement stage occurs after solder paste printing. Its main function is to accurately place surface-mount devices (SMDs) onto designated positions on the circuit board. The quality of placement largely determines the outcome of the subsequent soldering process and the final product. To ensure a high yield rate, Jeenoce integrates well-known machines into the complete SMT line, addressing key process challenges. This approach aims to maintain high production throughput while ensuring product quality, thereby helping customers secure more profitable orders.
What is the working principle of placement machine?
A placement machine is a compact automated system composed of a main control system (whose algorithms coordinate feeding, pickup, identification, and mounting) and various mechanical arms, suction nozzles, and other execution units. Using an intelligent vision system (CCD camera and image processing algorithms), it captures components and accurately places SMDs onto predefined locations on the PCB along a preset path.
What is the structural composition of the placement machine?
The main purpose of the placement machine is to place the components accurately according to the fixed point, which is basically two parts:control and execution.
Control section
Visual recognition system: It compares images from the HD camera, quickly analyzes component positions, calculates offsets, and sends correction commands to the executing manipulator.
Main control system: preset procedures and steps to coordinate each component, set the mounting coordinates, sequence and other parameters, the system receives the information to automatically control the feeding, taking, identification and mounting, and realize the automation of the whole process.
Executable section
Servo robotic arm: Driven by a servo motor, it moves flexibly along the XYZ axes and delivers components along a preset path during operation.
Nozzle: Can be replaced according to the size, type and shape of components. It can safely absorb components by making the air pressure inside the nozzle lower than the pressure difference of the external atmosphere.
Workbench: Used to fix the PCB board, the workbench can move along the XY axis, with the mechanical arm to complete the mounting of the whole board.

As a core equipment in electronic manufacturing, placement machines are used in nearly all fields involving circuit assembly. However, requirements vary by industry. Jeenoce’s placement machines focus on cutting-edge applications, delivering high-precision and high-reliability chip-level mounting.
How to choose a suitable placement machine?
Is it compatible with SMT whole line and multiple devices?
Since placement machines do not operate in isolation, they are often used alongside printers, solder paste inspectors, reflow ovens, or AOI equipment. With many brands available on the market, compatibility with various equipment is critical.
Does it have the production capacity to adapt to the entire SMT line?
The machine’s capacity must align with the production line’s throughput, and its placement accuracy should match the component types—especially for high-end sectors like semiconductor, automotive, and medical electronics.
Does it have flexible production capabilities?
The machine must support flexible production—such as quick changeovers and compatibility with multi-specification components—to adapt to evolving line requirements.
Does it support long-term operation?
To figure out how much the equipment will cost to maintain, how much power it will consume (say, less than 5 kWh per hour), and whether it can be upgraded in the future, the equipment integrator needs to ensure that the overall cost is controllable and cost-effective over the long term.
