With the arrival of 5G compatible devices, there is an increased need for high-density boards like those used in high-end smartphones. 5G compatible devices require space for a greater quantity of components, and increased battery capacity. This leads to a requirement for the main board to be even more compact. Interposers are being employed as a new method for achieving high density placement. These interposers are sandwiched between two main boards for a two-tiered board.

Interposers have bumps on both sides of the part, which often results in air leaks when the parts are picked up. Because of this, parts with air leaks need to be conveyed at reduced speed, resulting in a bottleneck at the SMT stage.

Pickup surface on interposer that causes losses in productivity

Because bumps are also on the part pickup surface, there are areas where there is a gap between the nozzle and the part and thus the hold during pickup is unstable.

Place interposers at high speeds with high-powered vacuum placement heads

H01V head

RH01 head

The head structure with an improved vacuum flow rate enables stable pickup and high-speed placement of interposers.
When combined with dedicated nozzles, efficient and reliable transport is attained. The following video shows an example of placements using the H01V head.
