Z-AXIS, a provider of electronic design and manufacturing services, says it is the first company on the U.S. East Coast to install Mycronic MYPro series A40DX pick-and-place machines for PCB assembly.
Mycronic MYPro A40DX pick-and-place machines are designed to help electronics manufacturers speed high-mix PCB assembly in medium to higher volumes. With a top speed of 59,000 components per hour (CPH), these new machines include high-speed mount heads and support on-the-fly changeovers.
Mycronic MYPro A40DX equipment can also pick-and-place larger and longer components while speeding workflows thanks to a touchscreen interface. The modular units can achieve 48% faster top placement speeds while supporting full traceability.
Mycronic, a provider of electronics manufacturing equipment, credits Z-AXIS’ co-owner and president, Michael Allen, for his continuing commitment to innovation. Z-AXIS now operates seven Mycronic machines and has two additional units on order. The company is in the second phase of a $1.5 million expansion.
Z-AXIS learned about this new equipment from Mycronic and then saw it in-person at IPC APEX Expo in Anaheim, California in April. Under Michael Allen’s leadership, Z-AXIS has also invested in MYTower 6x component storage systems and a MYPro S30 Stencil Printer since this industry-leading tradeshow. MYTower technology puts generous but flexible storage in a compact design with rotating columns, enabling the storage of nearly 2,000 reels (8 mm).
The MYPro S30 stencil printer features an advanced vision system for complete alignment between the stencil and PCB and a climate control system that maintains the physical qualities of solder paste for consistent print quality.
