Dobeter supply a wide range of Universal Instruments gripper nozzles, these nozzles are precision-engineered tools designed for their Universal Instruments SMT pick-and-place machines, enabling reliable handling of difficult or odd-form surface mount components with high accuracy and minimal risk of damage during the placement process.
Universal Instruments gripper nozzles are specialized SMT machine tools that use pneumatically or mechanically activated jaws to securely grip surface mount components, especially when the components lack a flat surface suitable for vacuum pick-up. These nozzles are essential for placing odd-form components like LEDs, transformers, connectors, relays, and other irregularly shaped parts on a PCB, areas where traditional vacuum nozzles may not suffice.
Dobeter provide Universal Instruments gripper nozzles compatible with their flagship SMT platforms such as Flexhead, Flexjet, Lightning, and GSM models. These nozzles cater to a wide range of component sizes and shapes, including odd-form and larger components up to 150mm square and 40mm tall on models like FuzionOF, Dobeter’s Universal Instruments gripper nozzles are built for precision, ensuring minimal component deformation and accurate placement with forces up to 5kg on heavy components.
Regular cleaning and inspection of gripper nozzles are essential to ensure reliable component handling and prevent contamination that could impact placement accuracy .
Using the correct gripper nozzle model matched to the specific component reduces pick errors and increases overall equipment effectiveness.
Dobeter ‘s Universal Instruments gripper nozzles are crucial for reliably handling complex, odd-form, or delicate SMT components and are widely available either as genuine OEM parts or customized solutions from specialized suppliers. Proper selection, maintenance, and use of these nozzles enhance SMT line productivity and product quality.
