Panasonic AM100 Nozzles

Panasonic AM100 Nozzles

Panasonic AM100 nozzles are specifically designed for the AM100 modular pick-and-place machine, which is used for surface mount technology (SMT) in electronics manufacturing. The AM100 is known for its versatility in handling a wide range of components, and a variety of specialized nozzles are available to suit different component types and sizes.
Common AM100 nozzle types
Nozzles for the AM100 machine are typically differentiated by the component size and shape they are designed to handle. They are available in both ceramic and metal for different levels of durability and precision.
Ceramic nozzles

• AM256M: Designed for very small 0402-size components.
• AM226M: Used for components in the 0603 to 1005 size range.
• AM387M: Designed for larger 3216 to 4532 size components.
• AM230M and AM235M: Handle small to medium-sized components, with specifications like 1.0 x 0.7mm and 1.6 x 0.8mm.

Metal nozzles

• AM120MT: A metal nozzle designed for components in the 2012 to 3216 size range.
• AM185M: A robust metal nozzle used for larger components, such as those with a 6.0mm tip size.

Odd-form and specialty nozzles

• Grip nozzles: An optional accessory that allows the machine to handle larger or odd-shaped components that a standard vacuum nozzle cannot.
• MELF nozzles: While part numbers like those for the MCF series are different, the AM100 is compatible with certain MELF nozzles for specific components

Features of AM100 nozzles

• Component versatility: The AM100’s “Nozzle Anywhere” feature, combined with its 14-nozzle head, allows for a high degree of flexibility in production setups and component handling.
• High precision: Nozzles are manufactured with advanced materials and precision engineering to ensure accurate and repeatable component placement.
  Durability: Nozzles, especially the ceramic types, are designed to be highly wear-resistant for consistent performance over time.
• Cross-compatibility: Some nozzles may be compatible with other older Panasonic SMT machines, such as the CM and NPM series, due to common design elements.
