LM901 Manual Pick and Place System

You can expect approximately 300-600 SMD placements per hour, depending on component size, board layout, and operator experience.

The LM901 supports PCBs up to 550 × 310 mm in size, with a usable placement area of 425 × 310 mm.

It supports PCB thickness from about 0.5 mm up to ~4 mm, allowing for both lightweight and moderately thick boards.

The LM901 can place fine-pitch devices, chips, SO / PLCC components, mini & micro MELFs, and other special components. It also supports solder paste or adhesive dispensing.

It is designed for fatigue-free use: features include a smooth guide for the assembly head, handrest, logical control layout, and a constant-force mechanism in the Z-axis to reduce strain.

Yes — upgrades include dispensers (solder paste or glue), optical support / camera systems, axis brakes, and locking for X/Y (or Z) for precise alignment.

Its dimensions are about 700 × 680 × 340 mm, making it compact enough for workbenches or lighter prototyping sections of a manufacturing line.

Best suited for prototyping, small-series production, or when flexibility and cost control are more important than high throughput. Limitations: slower than automated machines, more operator dependency, and placement speed varies with component mix and board complexity.
