Essemtec's Cobra Picks Four Components at Once
Used in high-variety electronics production, Cobra offers production speed of 21,000 cph and capacity for 240 intelligent feeders. Quattro-Pick feature, with software-optimized production sequence, lets machine pick 4 components from as many feeders simultaneously. Featuring 2 parallel rows, 8 pickup nozzle arrangement lets 4 nozzles on either front or back pick components concurrently.
Simultaneous pickup increases speed of the multi-nozzle head
Essemtec's Cobra is the world's first machine that features the Quattro-Pick feature, allowing it to pick four components from four different feeders simultaneously. It is therefore faster than other pick-and-place machines with multi-nozzle pickup head.
Cobra from Essemtec is quickly becoming the most popular SMD pick-and-place machine for flexible, high-variety electronics production. With a production speed of 21,000 cph and a capacity for 240 intelligent feeders, it optimally combines flexibility and performance. With the unique new Quattro-Pick feature, four components from four different feeders are picked up simultaneously. This is possible only with the perfect match of pick-and-place head, feeders and software.
Cobra's eight pickup nozzles are arranged in two parallel rows. As such, four nozzles on either the front or the back can pick a component at the same time. The Cobra Feeders are so fast and the positioning is so accurate that the nozzles in the second row can pick another four components immediately after.
The precision of the pick-and-place head and the fast, accurate feeders enable the Cobra to pick multiple components simultaneously. With a software-optimized production sequence, the Quattro-Pick feature increases production speed by up to 25 percent.
Essemtec will highlight the Quattro-Pick feature at the upcoming productronica exhibition in Munich, Germany. Visit Essemtec in Hall A3, booth 358.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
