The pickup and placement of high-value BGAs is the final and one of the most demanding process steps in AI server board assembly. As package sizes, weights, and complexity continue to increase, reliable placement depends on a combination of specialized placement technology, dedicated tooling, and precise process control.
The Placement Head TWIN Very High Force (VHF) is designed specifically for large and unusually shaped components. Individual control and programming of all axes, together with specialized nozzles and grippers, enable precise pickup and placement while accommodating complex package geometries and defined keep-out areas.
Key capabilities:
✔ Placement of components up to 175 × 175 mm
✔ Handling of components weighing up to 650 g
✔ Individual control and programming of all placement axes
✔ Specialized nozzles and grippers for complex component geometries
✔ Nozzle designs that consider defined keep-out areas on processor packages
✔ Precise process control for repeatable BGA placement
As AI server boards continue to evolve, reliable handling requires more than placement force alone. The combination of dedicated placement hardware, application-specific tooling, and precise motion control enables stable, repeatable assembly of even the largest and highest-value BGAs.
