DDM NOVASTAR L-SF40 SMD auto pick & place system – precision assembly for demanding SMT production
The DDM NOVASTAR L-SF40 is a high-performance, industrial-grade pick & place machine engineered for electronics manufacturers seeking a perfect balance of speed, accuracy, and configuration flexibility. Designed for modern surface mount technology (SMT) processes, this system ensures fast and precise placement of SMD components onto PCBs—delivering consistent, high-quality results cycle after cycle.
Speed, flexibility, and automation in one system
The L-SF40 features four independent placement heads and a dual-camera vision system (top and bottom), enabling precise positioning of a wide range of components. It handles parts up to 22 × 22 mm in size and 15 mm in height, making it suitable for both miniature and larger, more complex components.
With a placement speed of up to 18,000 CPH and positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm, this machine guarantees high throughput and tight quality control. The L-SF40 supports up to 58 8-mm tape feeders, along with vibrating feeders and bulk tray feeders, accommodating a diverse array of components and feeder types for efficient production workflows.
Intuitive operation and seamless integration
The system is equipped with a 21.5-inch HD touchscreen, providing an intuitive interface for easy setup and operation—even for less experienced users. It supports CSV file import, allowing for quick and accurate data transfer from PCB design software. Additionally, the L-SF40 can be integrated with external production management systems, making it fully compatible with automated SMT lines.
With support for PCB sizes up to 450 × 350 mm, the L-SF40 offers the flexibility needed for both large-scale manufacturing and small-batch prototyping.
