Philips IX Series High-Precision SMT Machine

Description

● The KNS iX502 and iX302, originally developed under the Philips SMT platform, are high-end pick-and-place systems engineered for ultra-precise, stable, and reliable component mounting. Featuring industry-leading placement control, the iX series achieves the highest first-pass yield rates while minimizing production costs and ensuring consistent end-customer satisfaction.

● Designed for advanced miniaturization requirements, the iX systems support ultra-small components down to 008004 (0201 metric). Placement accuracy for passive components reaches 35 μm, while camera-aligned throughput can be increased by up to 25%. Combined with a pick-up rate exceeding 99.99%—enabled by the latest generation of lightweight feeders—the iX series provides exceptional capability for high-density, high-mix, and high-precision PCB assemblies.

● The iX platform continuously enhances the entire pick-and-place workflow through software-driven process optimization. This enables seamless factory integration of the iX302 and iX502 into existing SMT environments. Its modular design philosophy simplifies daily operation while improving overall control and efficiency in mass-production settings.

● With the industry’s most advanced placement-control architecture, each placement is tightly regulated in real time, ensuring unmatched yield and long-term stability. Simple maintenance requirements and low operating costs maximize equipment uptime. The complete KNS solution includes hardware, software, feeder systems, and process support for fully optimized SMT production lines.
