High-speed computer chip

Several machine types are available. The turret-style chip shooter and the gantry-style or flexible fine-pitch (FFP) machines have both been nsed extensively in the assembly of consumer electronics, telecommunications, mainframe and server computers, as well as for lower volume, high-reliability electronic products. However, the demands for even higher production volumes as well as the flexibility to change product fines rapidly have caused manufacturers to consider alternative machine architectures that include high-speed stepper motors and optical sensors as well as highly parallel methodologies that place multiple components at the same time.
