The essentials.
Compare it with the othersBy bringing the laser sensor closer to the board, the RS-2 shortens the path between pick and place. Fast with the smallest chip and reliable with parts up to 50 mm.

Eight parts in a single trip.
The TAKUMI head picks up eight parts of different heights and places them without going back for more.
8nozzles, 12 mm apart5
Measures every part on the fly.
Without stopping the head, it checks that the part isn't standing on end, its orientation, its size, that it's still on the nozzle and that it has been released. Above: what the laser sees.

Automatic pick & place
Frequently asked questions.
Is the advertised speed the real one?
No: the advertised 50,000 CPH is the “optimum” speed. Closer to day-to-day production is the IPC 9850 figure: 32,000 CPH. With your board, we calculate the real one.
I run short batches with frequent changeovers. Is it right for me?
Yes: the RS-2 is designed for short batches, with minimal setup times, and takes up to 112 feeders.
Which components can it place?
From 03015 up to 74 mm square or 50 × 150 mm, up to 25 mm high.
What is its placement accuracy?
±35 µm (Cpk).
What board sizes does it take?
From 50 × 50 up to 800 × 370 mm with double clamping, 0.3 to 6.0 mm thick and up to 3 kg.
How much floor space does it take?
1,500 × 1,686 × 1,450 mm (W × D × H) and 1,630 kg. Before you order, we send you the layout drawing with the access points.
What power and air does it need?
Three-phase 200 V AC (up to 415 V with transformer), 2.2 kVA, and air at 0.5 ± 0.05 MPa: 200 L/min with vacuum ejector or 50 with pump.
Does it connect to the line and to my MES?
Yes: it receives bad-board marks and SPI compensation, and the JaNets software monitors production. Connection to your MES is reviewed case by case.
How does it avoid placing a wrong or defective part?
The laser checks orientation, dimensions and tombstoning; the optional CVS checks resistance, capacitance and polarity, and a coplanarity sensor detects lifted leads.
How do you program a new board? And changeovers?
With visual aids on the layout, and the laser measures each component on its own. For fast changeovers, you prepare the feeders off the machine or on an exchange cart.
