Component Mounters Shift Methods As Demands Diversify

摘要

The market of component mounters continues to expand on a global scale. This as demands for component mounters have expanded from high-speed to small-lot production of various products such as mobile phones, personal computers, and flat-panel TVs. Responding to the changes in the market, manufacturers, whose strength lies on highspeed mounting, are adding diffusion products to their lineup. On the other hand, manufacturers, whose main products have been medium-speed and diffusion-class mounters, are entering the market of high-speed mounting as well. For this reason, the difference in product lineup among manufacturers has been diminishing.
