The Hanwha SM481 High-Speed SMT Pick and Place Machine is one of the most widely recognized high-speed chip mounters in the global SMT industry. Originally introduced by Samsung Techwin and now supported by Hanwha Precision Machinery, the SM481 has become a preferred solution for EMS providers and electronics manufacturers seeking an ideal balance of productivity, placement accuracy, and long-term reliability.
Engineered for medium- and high-volume SMT production, the SM481 delivers exceptional placement performance through its high-speed rotary placement heads, advanced vision alignment system, and intelligent motion control technology. Capable of placing a broad range of electronic components—from 0402 (metric 1005) chips to fine-pitch ICs, BGAs, CSPs, LEDs, connectors, and odd-shaped devices—the machine provides outstanding flexibility for a variety of PCB assembly applications.
The SM481 features an optimized dual-gantry architecture, intelligent feeder management, automatic nozzle recognition, and high-speed image processing. These technologies significantly reduce setup time, improve first-pass yield, and increase Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). With rapid feeder changeovers and stable 24/7 operation, manufacturers can achieve higher throughput while maintaining consistent placement quality.
The machine is designed to integrate seamlessly with modern SMT production lines, including solder paste printers, SPI systems, AOI inspection equipment, reflow ovens, PCB handling systems, MES platforms, ERP software, and barcode traceability solutions. Its proven mechanical design and mature software platform make it an excellent choice for factories expanding production capacity or upgrading existing assembly lines.
The Hanwha SM481 is widely used across industries such as automotive electronics, consumer electronics, industrial automation, telecommunications, LED lighting, medical devices, renewable energy products, and EMS contract manufacturing.
