DESIGN CONCEPT
Over 50 years of exceeding customer needs
with proven industry excellence
and over 100,000 solutions installed
The rapid industry acceptance of the award-winning NPM platform is based
on its inherent design flexibility. Each NPM is a completely integrated,
single-platform solution that can provide far-reaching solutions to
expand and evolve with your electronics assembly needs. In addition to
its interchangeable, plug-and-play heads, the NPM can integrate solder
paste inspection (SPI), automated optical component inspection (AOI), and
dispensing. Yet, when requirements change, so can the NPM. Simply swap
heads to add new machine functionality and investment protection.
As always, manufacturers can scale NPM lines to meet production needs
while conserving investments until production or technology requirements
mandate. OEMs and EMS providers can reconfigure both machine heads in
approximately 15 minutesmaximizing flexibility and ROI, while protecting
assets. The NPM also incorporates existing feeders, carts, and nozzles to
minimize investment and inventory expenses.

Application Solutions
With additional feeder capacity and a larger board size, the inherent
capabilities and superior flexibility of the NPM-W2 position it as an advanced
solution for industrial and automotive manufacturers, as well as EMS
providers at any level.
The new NPM-W2 amplifies the NPM-W capabilities with a 10% throughput
boost and 25% accuracy improvement. It also integrates innovations like our
incomparable, award-winning Multi Recognition Camera. Combined, these
features extend the component range down to the 03015mm microchip, yet
preserve capability to handle 120x90mm components up to 40mm tall and
nearly 6 long (150mm) connectors.
PROCESS CAPABILITY
Printed circuit board assembly includes several processes to ensure high-quality production, which
historically meant investing in standalone equipment for dedicated processes like placement, dispensing,
and inspection. Today, our NPM Series provides solutions for multiple assembly processes. More than a
placement machine, the NPM allows you to configure the platform with heads for component placement,
material dispensing, optical inspection, and even a combination of processes. In one single platform, the
NPM Series provides a true lean solutiondoing more with less and improving your return on investment.
PLACEMENT HEADS
An array of four component placement head variations are available on the NPM series. With its linear
motor, dual-gantry system, manufacturers can configure two heads on each machine to maximize line
throughput, amplify line flexibility, or blend both for superior production versatility.

DISPENSE HEAD
The NPM is more than a mounter, it is a process solution. By simply swapping
a placement head with the dispense head, one can convert an NPM into a
multi-functional machine with the ability to mount and dispense. This is
especially suitable when handling large or oversized components, processing
double-sided reflow boards, or corner-bonding CSPs.
Auger-valve ensures stable, high-speed dispensing
Support patterns like dots or lines, as well as adhesives and solders
Non-contact dispensing enabled with board height sensor
INSPECTION HEAD

As part of our industry-leading patent list, we continuously pioneer new
technologies and techniques. Panasonic helped establish the PoP assembly
process over a decade ago. Since then, PoP has matured and many
designers are adopting it to drive miniaturization, lower costs, and
improve performance. Panasonic has the ability to guide the industry
with manufacturing best practices gleaned from being a global
manufacturing leader.

INDEPENDENT CHANGEOVER
In the past, changeover required all placement
machines in the line to complete the product build
before an operator could begin any changeover
process. In a single machine line, this effort is less
of a burden than in a line with multiple machines.
With our new innovations, operators can remove
feederseven cartsduring production to
facilitate a time-efficient changeover. This
new feature is appealing in a single-lane board
systemthe operator can begin to change over the
machine as production continues.

PRINTING SOLUTIONS
The rapid growth of electronic devices is driving manufacturers to modify assembly techniques by
expanding and updating facilities or assets, cost-engineering, implementing new processes, and reducing
costs. The potential to build scrap increases dramatically. A balance between costs and output must be
struck while maintaining quality. A trending option is low-cost printing material;
however, process stability is key. Panasonic can help your process.
