| HW-M8-102F | 8 (2×4) | 20,000–26,000 | 102 | 330 × 360 | 0.05mm | High Speed | Large-scale production, complex BOMs |
Match your production scenario to the best machine. Not sure? Send us your PCB and BOM — we'll recommend the right configuration.
You need a machine that is easy to set up, supports quick job changes, and fits in a lab or small workshop. Speed is secondary — flexibility matters more.
Recommended: HW-T4-44F/50F or HW-T4-44F
Desktop pick and place machine | 4 heads | 44–50 feeders | 5,000–8,000 CPH
You need reliable throughput with the flexibility to handle diverse products. Feeder capacity and changeover efficiency are key.
Recommended: HW-T6-64 or HW-DU400
Compact industrial pick and place machine | 4–6 heads | 64 feeders | 9,000–12,000 CPH
You run larger batches with complex component mixes. High feeder count and placement speed drive your throughput.
Recommended: HW-T8-72/80F or HW-M8-102F
High speed pick and place machine | 8 heads | 72–102 feeders | 10,000–26,000 CPH
Models: HW-T4-44F, HW-T4-50F, HW-T4-44F/50F
Speed: 5,000–8,000 CPH
Feeders: 44–50 positions
Best for: R&D labs, prototyping, startups, small electronics workshops, LED sample production
Desktop pick and place machines are compact, affordable, and designed for flexibility. They fit on a workbench and support frequent job changes. Ideal when your priority is low cost of entry and easy setup — not maximum throughput.
Models: HW-T6-64, HW-DU400
Speed: 9,000–12,000 CPH
Feeders: 64 positions
Best for: Growing factories, small-to-medium production, industrial control, medical electronics
Compact industrial machines bridge the gap between desktop and full-scale production. They offer higher throughput and better stability for regular production while maintaining a manageable footprint. Suitable for factories that need reliable daily output.
Models: HW-T8-72/80F, HW-M8-102F
Speed: 10,000–26,000 CPH
Feeders: 72–102 positions
Best for: EMS providers, contract manufacturers, consumer electronics, large-scale production
High-speed machines are built for throughput. With 8 placement heads and up to 102 feeder positions, they handle complex BOMs and high volumes. Best when production volume justifies the investment and floor space.
Count how many unique component types your typical board uses. This determines your minimum feeder requirement.
Estimate your monthly PCB output. Prototyping (<100), small batch (100–1,000), or production (>1,000).
Desktop for prototyping, compact industrial for growing factories, high-speed for volume production.
