The nozzle of an SMT placement machine is one of its key components and plays a crucial role in the high-speed operation of the machine. But what is the working principle of the nozzle, and how can it be cleaned? Let me briefly introduce it to you.
Working Principle and Cleaning Method of SMT Placement Machine Nozzles:
The nozzle of an SMT placement machine is not only a key component for picking and placing components but also serves as the background for the camera of the optical vision system. It primarily utilizes the suction effect of vacuum to pick up components and uses air blowing to place them at the coordinates on the circuit board. A typical SMT placement machine nozzle consists of three main parts: the nozzle head, filter mesh, and sealing ring. Its key function is to pick and place components. When the nozzle starts working, it utilizes its elasticity to create a vacuum effect by evacuating air, then picks up the component. During placement, the evacuated air is replaced with high-pressure air to firmly place the component on the PCB.
SMT Placement Machine Nozzle Cleaning:
SMT placement machine nozzles are generally cleaned using dedicated equipment, namely, automatic nozzle cleaning machines. These machines utilize a high-pressure water mist cleaning mode, which can easily remove dirt adhered to the nozzles without the need for any chemical solvents. Only pure water is required throughout the process.
