Universal instruments launch world's fastest quad-gantry machine

Universal's new flagship Genesis GC- 120Q (Figure 2) enters the market as the fastest quad-gantry machine in the industry with placement speeds of up to 120,000cph. Flexibility, speed and lowest cost-of-ownership are achieved with four patented Lightning Heads, each featuring a radial array of 30 modular, individually controlled spindles. The unique rotary motor drive is based on Universal's patented Variable Reluctance linear Motor (VRM) technology and features fewer parts, improved reliability and delivers exceptional motion performance. Dual on-the-head optics allow an unsurpassed range of components from 01005 to 30×30mm, CSP, WSP, uBGA and Melfs at full speed and support component pre-orientation as well as on-the-head rejection for small parts to further enhance throughput and productivity.
