Opulo Introduces LumenPnP v4: Accurate and Reliable Pick and Place for Prototyping and Production

Pittsburgh, PA, Sept. 10, 2024 - Opulo today announced the new standard for desktop pick and place machines with the introduction of LumenPnP v4, the most reliable, accurate, and automated chip mounter in its class. This new flagship machine's vastly improved placement speed and improved setup experience means it's even easier to quickly and reliably assemble a batch of prototype boards in-house, or de-risk full production with a pilot run.

"For the last few years, the LumenPnP has been in the field doing useful work for people all over the globe," said Opulo CEO and founder Stephen Hawes. "Since then, we've been iterating, improving, and developing based on the wide experience from our user base, with millions of parts placed. The LumenPnP v4 is the culmination of those insights, distilled into an assembly workhorse, leaving no stone unturned."

LumenPnP v4 Highlights

  • Custom optical systems provide crisp and accurate calibrations for perfect placements.
  • Easily handles 0402 passives, 0.4mm pitch ICs, and even 0.5mm pitch BGA.
  • Dedicated high current drivers allow the LumenPnP v4 to fly through production at 1580 CPH.
  • Full hardware and computer vision position alignment results in repeatable performance.
  • Versatile assembly area and easy-swap mounting hardware makes switching jobs fast and effortless.
  • Incredibly quiet operation thanks to a fully enclosed pneumatics system.

"The affordability and scalability make it a no brainer for me," said Ken Taylor, Utility Innovation Group. "I also have loved the support I get from the Opulo team. In several thousand hours of run time logged, [Opulo] has always been there." 

"The LumenPnP is such a game-changer for prototyping," said Mark van den Brink, Currentt. "I love that I'm not dependent on an assembly/EMS party. In the end, it saves time and costs."
