Yamaha YRM20DL Dual Lane Pick and Place Machine

• The Yamaha YRM20DL Dual Lane Pick and Place supports two conveyor lanes and significantly increases throughput in the same footprint. While the YRM20 is a single-lane or dual-stage machine, the YRM20DL is engineered specifically for dual-lane production, reducing idle head travel and transport losses.
• For example, the YRM20DL offers up to 120,000 CPH under optimum conditions, compared to about 115,000 CPH for the YRM20.
• In addition, board width in dual-mode is extended: the YRM20DL handles dual-lane boards up to W330 mm, whereas the YRM20 standard dual-stage spec is W510 mm but not dual-lane.
• In summary: Think of the YRM20DL as the YRM20 platform upgraded for dual-lane, higher efficiency, reduced transport loss, making it ideal for variable-mix, high-volume SMT production.

Under optimum (high-production) conditions the YRM20DL achieves:

• RM head (rotary): up to 120,000 CPH.
• HM head (high-speed general purpose): up to 100,000 CPH.
• FM head (odd-shape/flexible-multi): around 35,000 CPH.

The machine offers high precision mounting:

• Accuracy under high-precision mode: ±0.015 mm (Cpk ≥1.0) for the RM head.
• For the FM head (odd-shape), accuracy is about ±0.035 mm (Cpk ≥1.0).
  Component size range:
• From 0201mm chips effectively on RM head.
• Up to W55 × L100mm (and height up to 30mm on FM head).

• For “single use” (one lane) mode: board size from L50×W50mm up to L810×W610mm.
• For “dual-use” or dual-lane mode: board size from L50×W50mm up to L810×W330mm.
• This dual-lane capability (two boards processed in parallel) is a key differentiator from the standard YRM20.

The Yamaha YRM20DL Dual Lane Pick and Place supports a wide feeder/carrier palette: feeder carriage exchange up to 128 types (32 feeders × 4) when converting to 8 mm tape feeders. Fixed plate also supports up to 128 types, and trays up to 60 types when using options like eATS30 × 2.
Change-over is improved by Yamaha’s “1-head solution” concept, which reduces the need to swap heads for different component sizes. The dual-lane configuration further reduces idle time and feeder change-over losses.

Key installation specs:

• External dimension (excluding projections): L1,374 × W2,102 × H1,445 mm.
• Approximate weight: ~2,550 kg (main unit only).
• Power supply: 3-phase AC 200/208/220/240/380/400/416 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz. Air supply: ≥ 0.45 MPa clean, dry.
  Compared to the standard YRM20 (which weighs ~2,150-2,250 kg and uses W1,948 mm width footprint) the YRM20DL has a wider footprint (~2,102 mm width) due to the dual-lane design.

The YRM20DL is best for high-mix, high-volume SMT lines where productivity and throughput are critical, especially when two PCBs need to be processed in parallel (dual-lane) or when space is at a premium but throughput must increase. The dual lane reduces head idle time and transport loss.
The standard YRM20 is more suitable for sites with one-lane production, lower volumes, or where dual-lane operation is not required. Its slightly smaller footprint and adequate speed make it a cost-effective solution for many general-purpose SMT lines.
Essentially: choose the YRM20DL when you need maximum throughput and dual-lane capability; choose the YRM20 when one lane is sufficient and cost/footprint priority is higher.

The YRM20DL builds on Yamaha’s flagship YRM20 high-efficiency platform, bringing forward features like “1 head solution” (single head handling micro to mid-large components), improved rigidity, “Overdrive Σ” motion, and dual-lane conveyors for reduced transport loss.
Because it uses the same modular heads (RM, HM, FM) and feeder systems as Yamaha’s modular platform, it offers good upgradeability and scalability. Future increases in PCB complexity, miniaturisation (0201 chips), and production variation are supported.
Moreover, verifying specs like ±0.015 mm accuracy and 120k CPH throughput indicate that the machine is designed to remain relevant in leading-edge electronics manufacturing well into future cycles.
