NPM D 3 A Chip Mounter
Provisional entry — research in progress
This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
How it works
The NPM-D3A adopts a dual placement method with two independent placement heads that operate simultaneously, achieving fully independent placement on each beam.[2]
Where it fits in the process flow
The machine can be linked with other NPM series mounters and supports line process control (LPC) for monitoring and coordinating multiple machines in a line.[2]
Applications
The NPM-D3A is used in high-speed, high-volume SMT assembly applications across industries such as automotive, industrial, and medical electronics.[4]
The machine places a wide component range from 0402-size chips up to components measuring 100 mm by 90 mm by 28 mm, including large connectors, odd-shaped components, and advanced packaging types like package-on-package (PoP).[3][4]

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum placement speed of the NPM-D3A?
With the 16-nozzle head, the maximum speed is 46,000 cph (0.078 s/chip). With the 8-nozzle head, the maximum speed is 38,000 cph (0.095 s/chip).[3]
What placement accuracy does the NPM-D3A achieve?
Placement accuracy at Cpk≥1 is ±37 μm for the 16-nozzle head and ±30 μm for the 8-nozzle head.[3]
What PCB sizes does the NPM-D3A support?
In dual-lane mode, PCB dimensions from 50 mm by 50 mm up to 510 mm by 300 mm are supported. In single-lane mode, dimensions from 50 mm by 50 mm up to 510 mm by 590 mm are supported.[3]
What is the physical dimensions and mass of the NPM-D3A?
The main body dimensions are 832 mm wide by 2,652 mm deep (including feeder cart) by 1,444 mm high, with a mass of 1,680 kg for the main body alone.[4]
