Overview

The Assembleon Opal-XII is a well-regarded pick and place machine known for its excellent condition and available feeders. It boasts a placement rate of 9.6k / 11.6k cph (IPC 9850 / rated for Opal-X” with 4 heads) and 13.9k / 17.7k cph (IPC 9850 / rated for Opal-X” with 8 heads). The machine is capable of handling components ranging in size from 01005 (0402) to 45 mm sq. (1.8” sq.) and has a fine pitch accuracy of 35 microns @ 3 sigma. The Opal-XII is essentially a more compact version of the Topaz-XII, with slightly lower component output but the same placement accuracy and board size. Both systems are capable of placing everything from small 01005 components to large CSPs, Flip Chips, BGAs, and fine pitch QFPs.
