Reluctance Motor Technology Linear motors offer many benefits over lead-screw systems, but they are not new to the field of automated electronic assembly. What is new, however, is the Variable Reluctance Motor Technology, introduced and patented by Universal. Variable Reluctance Motor Technology allows for higher precision placement, even at faster speeds. . Laminated E-core utilizes alternating currents to control movement along the stator bar in minute increments for maximum precision.
Percentage is based on a comparison to permanent magnetic motors.
It can be as simple as picking the right options. For example, to assemble flip chip die on a GSM1, the C4 Option is added. Of course, there comes a point when it is more cost effective to invest in equipment specifically designed for advanced applications rather than upgrading. The tighter the pitch, the more likely you are to need a linear motor technology solution. Another way is to compare various equipment configurations and the relative accuracy specifications.
