The TWS Quadra pick surface mount pick and place machine has been upgraded, now uses the Windows compatible ‘Linux’ operating system as well as having vision centering.

The cost-effective Quadra has been a best seller for several years due to its low capital cost and low cost of ownership, but the original DOS software, although reliable, had ceased to be compatible with other computer systems making it difficult to Network or back up programs.

The new Linux system has resolved these issues, and the Quadra now uses a vision camera rather than a laser which provides faster placement speed and more accuracy. Feeders from older machines can be used on the new version.

For more information on the Quadra range contact Paul or Neil Blundell on 02476 210270 or email us at sales@blundell.co.uk.
