There are several types of suction nozzles for SMT assembly machines

For most surface mount technology (SMT) machine manufacturers, the high-efficiency operation of SMT machines is a powerful guarantee for high production orders. The high efficiency of the surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine depends on the high-quality operation of its nozzles.

The number of suction nozzles for each manufacturer's surface mount technology (SMT) machine varies, but they are all divided into high-speed heads and general-purpose heads.

1. The high-speed head mainly sucks relatively small components, such as 0201 and 0402.
2. The general-purpose head is mainly used to absorb relatively large components or some irregular-shaped components. The placement speed of the general-purpose head is relatively slow.

It depends on what kind of suction nozzle you are buying. For instance, the quality and price of different suction nozzles from Yamaha NXT Ximen will vary.

First, let's look at the material of the suction nozzle of the SMT placement machine suction nozzle processing machine:

1. Tungsten steel nozzle: Tungsten steel nozzles are sturdy and durable, but they tend to turn white easily. Friends who are not afraid of the trouble or new SMT users can choose tungsten steel nozzles. If they turn white, just use an oil-based pen to apply it, and they can still be used.
2. Ceramic nozzles: Ceramic nozzles never turn white, but they are very brittle and prone to breakage. Careful use can prevent or reduce the occurrence of fractures.
3. Diamond steel suction nozzle: Sturdy, practical and never turns white, but extremely expensive and not cost-effective.
4. Rubber nozzle: When the surface of the material is uneven or the material is sticky, a rubber nozzle is suitable. However, the lifespan of a rubber nozzle is not long. It is recommended to purchase more rubber nozzles as a spare when ordering rubber nozzles. When the nozzle is worn out, you can directly replace it with a rubber nozzle yourself.
