Overview & Benefits

The X-Series (Opal-X^II, Opal FP-X^II, Topaz-X^II and Emerald-X^II) are complementary and cost-effective Pick & Place platforms for low to medium volume manufacturing at up to 20k components per hour. The machines are easily configured for a high feeder count, and for production of large boards. The machines can be combined to suit specific production requirements. The X-Series provides a perfect balance between outstanding versatility and value for money. The machines use the same feeder platform, operating software and Graphical User Interface as the M-Series. The benefits of the X-Series include:

- Fast and simple machine setup with real-time component inventory check
- Fast production-run changeovers with user-friendly 20-position feeder exchange trolleys
- Easy-to-use and quick to learn
- Easily networked with a centralized component database You can seamlessly integrate the machines into your factory automation infrastructure, and scale their performance to meet your precise manufacturing needs.

The Opal-X^II features a high precision single placement beam carrying four or eight independent Super Fine heads with exchangeable nozzles. It places up to 17.7k components per hour with 40-micron accuracy. It handles components from 01005 to large connectors, fine-pitch QFP, BGA, µBGA and CSP packages, and components up to 15mm tall. The Opal-X^II holds up to 100 tape feeders including stick and bulk parts.

The Opal-X^II has standard features that improve product quality and manufacturing efficiency including:

- Automatic board width and thickness adjustment for fast changeover
- Automatic temperature feedback compensates for temperature variations
- Fiducial recovery function that eliminates the need to remove and clean PCBs
- Multi-angle side illumination for any component background

Topaz-XII
One machine that does it all!

The Topaz-X^II provides a perfect balance between chip and IC shooting thanks to its high precision single placement beam with eight independent controlled heads. The Topaz-X^II is available in two versions. When many nozzle changes are needed and high output is important, the Flying Nozzle Change (FNC) head is recommended. For handling a wider component range including QFP, connectors and high components, the Super Fine head is ideal.

The high-precision single placement beam carries either four FNC heads (each with three nozzles) and four standard heads or eight Super Fine heads with exchangeable nozzles. The FNC heads exchange nozzles on the fly to increase overall machine efficiency.

With placement rates up to 20k components per hour, the Topaz-X^II is fast. Placement accuracy is 35 microns for ICs. It handles components ranging from 01005 to large connectors (45 x 100 mm), fine-pitch and components up to 15 mm tall. The Topaz-X^II holds up to 90 tape feeders, including stick and bulk parts.
