W 2

The Panasonic W 2 is an assembly and surface-mount technology pick-and-place machine. The Panasonic W 2 is a production tool used to place electronic components onto a substrate during automated assembly.

A pick-and-place machine in this class typically receives components from feeders, locates the placement position, and transfers each component to a target pad on a board or other substrate. The machine class is built around coordinated motion, component handling, and placement control.

A surface-mount assembly machine commonly works as part of an automated line that positions parts with controlled motion and repeats the sequence across many placements. The machine class is generally used to support high-throughput electronic assembly with consistent placement behavior.

A pick-and-place machine sits in the electronic assembly flow after component supply is prepared and before the assembled board proceeds to later joining or inspection steps. The machine places components onto the assembly surface as part of the build sequence.

The Panasonic W 2 belongs to the assembly and SMT portion of manufacturing rather than wafer fabrication. The Panasonic W 2 is used where discrete electronic parts are mounted onto boards for downstream processing.

A machine of this class is used for mounting surface-mount electronic components on printed circuit boards. A machine of this class is also used in automated electronic assembly where repeated, controlled placement is required.
