MC-8

Even more flexibility for your most demanding applications

Based on the MG-8R, the MC-8 incorporates a significant improvement package, bringing you improved reliability and enhanced maintainability. Flexibility and ease of use is lifted to a new level with the new intelligent electrical feeder, accompanied by default installed tape cutters, which allows the system to pack up to 119 feeders. 

The MC-8 delivers high-end performance with chips, ICs and odd-form components. Not only does it offer placement rates up to 8.9k components per hour with a placement accuracy of 30 micron for ICs and QFPs, but it also handles an extremely wide component range. Precision force control allows optimal handling of press-fit through-hole connectors with insertion forces up to 30 N.

The MC-8 is equipped with 3 fully independent servo-controlled Flying Nozzle Change (FNC) heads, each carrying up to 6 nozzles. It delivers high-end performance with chips, ICs and odd form components. Not only does it offer placement rates up to 8.9k components per hour with a placement accuracy of 30 micron for ICs and QFPs, but it also handles an extremely wide component range as tall as 25.5mm. Precision force control allows optimal handling of press-fit through-hole connectors with forces up to 30N.

By holding up to 119 feeding positions, the MC-8 offers the ultimate in changeover flexibility.
