One way of extending the 3D capability of an SMD pick place machine is to use a workpiece carrier with defined angular settings for the individual process surfaces of the MID (Fig. 4.15). These settings are presets deriving from the design of the...

In Table 4-2, we have the standard SMD component sizes. Note that usually, most pick and place machines cannot mount anything bigger than size 1515. So larger components may need to be hand-soldered. For ceramic capacitors, reliability requirements call for a certain...
