The Z:LEX YSM20R will be on display at the 47th Internepcon Japan electronics manufacturing and mounting technology exhibition to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight (Koto-ku, Tokyo) from January 17 to 19, 2018.
*1: Surface mounter: Manufacturing machine for mounting various electric/electronic components on the printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in electrical appliances and electronic devices.
*2: CPH (Chips Per Hour): Total number of chips that can be mounted per hour (unit time). Indicates processing capacity under various conditions.
*3: Components mounting speed (CPH) for a surface mounter with the 2-beam, 2-head layout under optimum conditions. Based on Yamaha Motor data as of January 2018.
Product Features
1) World’s fastest mounting speed in its class; 5% faster than the YSM20
Featuring a new wide-scan camera with improved component adaptability
Yamaha Motor increased XY-axis speeds, improved the actions involved in pick-up to placement, reviewed and revised the rigidity of structural parts to withstand higher mounting speeds and more. As a result, the YSM20R boasts the world’s fastest mounting speed in its class of 95,000 CPH (under optimal conditions as specified by Yamaha Motor), an approximately 5% improvement compared to the YSM20.
“Flying recognition,” a function for recognizing components in the shortest path between pick-up to placement positions, enhances the performance of Yamaha Motor’s proprietary scanning camera to enable high-speed mounting with zero recognition time loss. In addition to accommodating components up to 12×12 mm in size for high-speed mounting (up from 8×8 mm), side lighting is used to allow for high-speed recognition of Chip Scale Packages (CSP) and ball electrodes like those in Ball Grid Arrays (BGA), vastly improving real production capacity.
The YSM20R also handles super-small 0201 size (0.25 × 0.125 mm) components.
2) Optional features improving line operating rate without stopping the machine

Newly-developed Auto Loading Feeder (ALF) that revolutionizes feeding tape components by eliminating reliance on user skill
Yamaha Motor has developed a new ALF that allows any operator to easily supply tape components by merely inserting the tape, all without stopping the machine. Yamaha’s unique center-open system, which eliminates the need to remove the top tape, reduces pick-up errors due to static electricity from fuzz or peeling.
In addition, a Yamaha-exclusive tape setting mechanism that extends towards the operator to simplify tape setting and a mechanism that allows for two reels to be set at once on the feeder greatly improves ease of use for the operator.
The ALF also offers a splicing-less* feature that significantly boosts operating rate by reducing machine downtime and work time, reducing the running cost for splicing work and making the recovery of top tape unnecessary. This ALF will be available on all current YS Series mounters (limited to those with the tape cutter specification) as an option.*Eliminates the need to splice new tape to the existing tape being used when feeding components into the tape feeder, the device feeding electrical components.

sATS30NS Auto Tray Sequencer (ATS) for nonstop tray replacement
The “sATS30” 30-step fixed automatic tray supply unit has gained a new feature that removes empty trays and supplies new trays without interruption of automatic operation. Simply replace the empty trays, which are automatically ejected, with new trays and press the feed button to automatically set the new trays in the magazine. In addition, the entire magazine can be replaced during production changeovers.•
Nonstop feeder carriage exchange system
Previously, the machine had to be stopped when removing the feeder carriage exchange to ensure safety. Now, Yamaha has installed a sliding shutter cover over the pick-up area of the opening that is created when the carriage is removed. The shutter automatically closes when the carriage is removed, eliminating the need to stop the machine for carriage replacement and thus improving machine operating rate.
