How the product fits into a complete PCB assembly line

1. Solder paste printing deposits paste
2. S-T8-72/80F mounts SMD components (8 heads, CCD x8)
3. Reflow oven fixes components permanently
4. AOI/SPI verify placement and solder quality
5. THT insertion and wave soldering complete mixed-technology boards

Key selection parameters for buyers

• PCB dimensions (max 500x450mm, 1-3mm) and component mix (0201-BGA, min lead pitch 0.3mm)
• Feeder configuration and target throughput (10,000-15,000 CPH class)

ROI perspective

An 8-head mounter replaces several manual placement stations with consistent quality shift after shift. ROI modeling is provided case-by-case based on your board mix and volume.
