SMT Board Assembly to Final Product Line
Printing, placement, and reflow are already automated, but reel setup, odd-form insertion, connector mating, test-fixture loading, and packing still rely on people. Here is what robots can take over at each step, from placement-machine makers and cobot deployments.

导入前的确认点
- ESD: match potentials across the robot body, end-effector materials, and grounding; pick models with ESD variants.
- Cleanliness: front-end fabs are ISO class 3; check cleanroom certification and particle generation from belts and plastics.
- Placement-machine ecosystems: automatic feeder changeover and magazine delivery are tied to each maker; confirm compatibility with existing machines from other vendors.
- Packaging and size limits: reel loading automation covers a limited range (e.g., 8 mm tape); check height and weight limits for odd-form parts.
- Force sensing: FPC insertion, screwdriving, and HDD insertion usually need force control.
