Paraquda from Essemtec is the world’s most modern SMD pick-and-place machine. New materials used lead to higher quality and a new high-speed control system provides both higher speed and precision. The Paraquda features ultra short changeover times, a new intuitive operation system, Eplace, and an integrated quality management system that reduces manufacturing costs for electronics.

Compared to other pick-and-place machines, the new Paraquda, with up to 210 feeders capacity, brings significant added values regarding precision, quality, flexibility, control and ergonomics. Paraquda's pick-and-place head can simultaneously hold and measure four components. The range of components is vast ― it spans from 01005 resistors up to 4 inch sq components, which can be up to 1 inch in height. The minimum pitch is specified with 0.01 inches. The high-resolution fly-by vision system is equipped with the latest Cognex SMD image processing technology, thus can detect any kind of component, even odd-shaped parts.
