Mounting the SOM on a motherboard requires a specific Pick & Place machine set-up described in the following notes and paragraphs.

For an accurate SOM placement, it is necessary to:

  • Position the nozzle in the area defined for module placement on the motherboard using the camera in self-learning mode. The presence of a label will not affect the Pick & Place.
  • Define the nozzle type.
  • Define speed of movement and other parameters.

Note that the offset from the center is calculated by the machine.

Note: For optimal alignment and positioning, the nozzle internal diameter should be between 6 and 10 mm. The larger the nozzle diameter, the better the component alignment and positioning.
Note: In case of non-use of Microchip tray(s), the tray(s) must be opened under the module to avoid any suction during module manipulation by the Pick & Place machine.
