TRA PX-8S Fully Automatic 8-Head | Pick and Place Machine

TRA Pick and Place Machine

SMT Pick and Place Machine

The TRA PX-8S is an automatic SMT pick and place machine for assembling surface-mount components onto printed circuit boards. Its 8-head placement system combines ball spline motion with camera-based recognition to handle mixed-component PCB assemblies and repeated production runs.

Panasonic servo drives and motors control X–Y movement through ground screws and linear guides. Flying recognition supports efficient handling of small components, while fixed-image recognition accommodates components requiring a different imaging approach. The specified placement accuracy is ±0.05 mm.

TRA PX-8 Pick and Place

TRA Pick and Place For production-line use, the WS-8S combines a three-stage PCB conveyor, automatic rail-width adjustment and SMEMA interfaces. It supports boards up to 500 × 400 mm when the IC tray is not installed. With the tray fitted, the maximum board size becomes 500 × 260 mm, making the chosen material-feeding arrangement an important part of line planning.

Applications – PX-8S | Pick and Place Machine

8-head SMT Placement Machine, support multi-component pickup and placement. Ball spline construction guides vertical movement, while rotational control aligns components with their programmed mounting orientation.

The vision system combines a PCB mark camera with component recognition. Flying imaging supports small-component processing, while fixed imaging provides an alternative recognition mode for suitable component types. PCB mark recognition helps align the placement program with the actual board position.

Panasonic servo drives and motors, ground screws and linear guides provide controlled X–Y travel. This mechanical arrangement supports repeatable movement between feeder pickup locations and PCB placement positions.

The documented component range includes resistors, capacitors, LEDs, diodes and packages such as SOT, SOP, QFN and BGA. The specified limits are a component size of up to 40 mm and a height of up to 13 mm. Individual component suitability depends on the nozzle, feeder, recognition settings and package geometry.

The machine provides 70 feeder positions and support for one IC tray. Feeder selection should match the component packaging and installed feeder interface. Wider feeders affect the number of distinct parts that can be loaded simultaneously.

A three-stage conveyor handles board entry, placement and exit. Automatic width adjustment simplifies setup for different PCB widths, while a lift-up support arrangement and movable support pins stabilize the board during placement.

Placement-coordinate data can be imported in CSV format, providing a practical route from PCB design data to machine setup. Operators must still verify component assignments, orientation, feeder locations and recognition settings before production.

SMEMA interfaces support coordination with compatible upstream and downstream equipment. Feeder-lift detection and cover-related deceleration or stopping functions support machine operation. The built-in oil-free vacuum pump supplies component-pickup vacuum.

PCB Assembly Machine – TRA

The PX-8S combines 8-head placement, camera-based alignment and flexible material handling in a conveyorized machine. Automatic width adjustment supports board changes, while tray capability accommodates suitable IC packages. It is a practical option for manufacturers whose PCB dimensions, component mix and production targets match its documented operating range.
