Multi-modal Vision System: The NeoDen N10P surface mount machine is equipped with dual Mark cameras + a front-facing camera + an IC-specific camera, enabling full coverage recognition from 0201 micro-components to 40mm × 40mm QFP devices, with positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm.
39-nozzle automatic nozzle change system: Industry-first 39-nozzle library supports 8-head simultaneous component pickup. Combined with automatic height calibration, nozzle change time is reduced to 0.5 seconds, achieving a peak CPH (components per hour) of 20,000 points.
Real-time air pressure monitoring: Through nozzle air pressure sensors, the system intelligently detects nozzle blockages or component abnormalities, triggering automatic pause to prevent material waste, with yield improvement exceeding 15%.

Extra-large board compatibility: Supports 1,500mm×450mm extra-long PCBs (optional extended conveyor belt), meeting the needs of large-sized boards such as industrial control equipment and power modules.
Mixed Feeding Ecosystem: 80 feeder positions (33 front + 47 rear) support the mixed use of electric/pneumatic feeders, compatible with tray, tube, and tape-fed materials, reducing changeover time to under 30 minutes.

Over 40 agents covering 130 countries: Localized service teams established in Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Africa, with over 15 senior international sales representatives providing multilingual support.
"8-24 hour" response mechanism: Technical issues responded to within 8 hours, with solutions provided within 24 hours, far exceeding the industry average of 72 hours.

Domestic equipment has risen to the global top tier driven by three core factors:

Heavy R&D Investment: Taking NeoDen as an example, its three R&D departments employ over 25 engineers, holding over 70 patents. Core components such as linear guides (THK) and servo motors (Panasonic) use international first-tier brands.
Scenario-based innovation: Addressing the "low-cost flexibility" needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, desktop machines (such as NeoDen YY1) and modular equipment (such as K1830) have been developed to lower the barriers to automation.
Ecosystem collaboration: Collaborating with upstream component suppliers and downstream integrators to establish technical alliances (such as NeoDen's Global Partner Program), providing closed-loop services from equipment training to process optimization.

From "catching up" to "keeping pace" and then to "leading in certain areas," Chinese SMT machine manufacturers are gaining global recognition through solid technical expertise and a user-centric approach. Companies like NeoDen, with their flexible adaptability, rapid response, and continuous innovation, have become the preferred partners for global makers, R&D centers, and small and medium-sized factories. In the future, with the integration of AI vision and digital twin technologies, Chinese SMT equipment will evolve into the "nerve center of smart factories," empowering a new global electronics manufacturing ecosystem!
