What are the differences in the mounting principles between SM471 and SM485? A comprehensive comparison from structure t

SM471

SM471 is a relatively old surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine, suitable for small and medium-sized production lines. Its structural design is relatively simple, with the focus on meeting the basic mounting requirements. The design of the worktable and XY axes of SM471 is relatively traditional, mainly relying on mechanical drive to achieve the accuracy of mounting. It uses a stepper motor, which is relatively mature in technology. However, compared with the current servo motors, its precision and speed are slightly inferior.

SM485:

Compared with SM471, SM485 has undergone significant upgrades. It adopts a more powerful servo motor system, with significant improvements in both accuracy and stability. The worktable and XY-axis structure of SM485 have been optimized to ensure precise placement at higher speeds. Moreover, SM485 also supports more types of components and more complex production environments. It adopts linear motor drive, which is far superior to SM471 in terms of precision and response speed, especially performing even better in production with high-precision requirements.

SM471

Although the SM471 can meet the basic placement accuracy requirements, its speed and accuracy are limited by the stepper motor, especially when operating at high speeds, errors are prone to occur. Due to its relatively traditional workbench and nozzle system, the overly fast mounting speed can easily lead to inaccurate component positioning, especially for some micro-components, the performance of the SM471 is slightly struggling.

SM485:

SM485 has seen a significant improvement in accuracy. Its servo motor control ensures that each step of positioning is extremely precise. Especially when performing high-speed mounting, the accuracy of SM485 can still remain stable. This is because servo motors respond more quickly and the positioning system is more accurate, thus reducing errors. Moreover, the vision system of SM485 is more powerful and can correct minor mounting deviations through algorithms to ensure that every component is perfectly placed.

SM471

The Feida system of SM471 mainly relies on the traditional feida design. Although it can meet the general production requirements, its speed and adaptability seem somewhat inadequate in some complex production environments. Especially when dealing with a variety of different types of components, SM471 may require a considerable amount of manual intervention to adjust the configuration of Feida. The speed of Feida and the transmission efficiency of components are also relatively low, and there may be situations where components are not transmitted in a timely manner.

SM485:

The SM485 has made significant improvements on the Feida system. It is equipped with a more efficient intelligent feeder that can automatically adjust according to different components, reducing the need for manual intervention. The transmission speed of Feida has also been enhanced, enabling it to complete the transmission of components more quickly and accurately. This means that in large-scale production, SM485 can maintain high efficiency and stability, and has stronger adaptability.

SM471

The visual system of SM471 is relatively simple and mainly relies on basic positioning algorithms for component recognition. Although its precision is sufficient to meet most production demands, when it comes to complex and delicate components, the recognition ability of SM471 appears limited. Moreover, on high-density PCB boards, SM471 may experience component misidentification.

SM485:

The vision system of SM485 is one of its greatest highlights. It adopts a higher-resolution camera and more sophisticated algorithms, which can precisely capture the images of components and perform rapid positioning. Especially when dealing with complex PCB boards, the vision system of SM485 can identify the positions of components more quickly and accurately, and adjust them in real time through algorithms to ensure the placement accuracy. In addition, the visual system of SM485 supports more powerful AI algorithms, which can automatically correct errors during the mounting process, further enhancing the overall mounting accuracy.

SM471

The automation level of SM471 is relatively low. Although it supports the automation of basic mounting tasks, when dealing with complex production tasks, manual intervention is often required. The program setting and debugging of SM471 are relatively complex and require the operator to have a certain technical background.

SM485:

SM485 features a higher level of intelligent management, especially in production scheduling, equipment monitoring, and fault detection. The SM485 is equipped with a more advanced automatic control system, which can automatically adjust the mounting parameters and monitor the real-time production status. This not only enhances production efficiency but also reduces the burden on operators and lowers the probability of human error. For large-scale production, the intelligence level and automation functions of SM485 make it a more suitable choice.
