4-20 Mx-Series Operation Manual
As mentioned above, the modular head is a 6-spindle type suitable for
positioning chip type components and small leaded components
The placing speed is high as each Z axis is controlled by a separate AC
servo motor.
In addition, as the modular head spindle is equipped with a belt-driven AC
servo motor, it provides a resolution of 0.044° for R-axis (or θ -axis).
The modular head can pick up and transfer various types and sizes of
components as it can be equipped with various types of nozzles.

Each spindle moves up or down the nozzle attached to the head end
along the Z axis or rotates it around the R-axis. Each spindle is driven
