The 240CSN nozzle is the pickup nozzle that sits at the end of the placement head on Panasonic machines. It lifts a component out of the feeder tape, holds it by vacuum through the move, and releases it onto the pad. Because the tip touches tape, component and board on every cycle, it wears faster than most parts on the head, and a chipped or dull nozzle is one of the first things to check when placement quality drifts. This one is supplied as a straight replacement, so a worn tip can be changed without disturbing the rest of the head setup. PCB assembly plants, EMS providers and SMT pick and place machine manufacturers buy it as a maintenance consumable rather than a one-off part.

Panasonic builds the CM, NPM and DT families around different heads, and each family uses its own nozzle set. This nozzle is listed for all three, which suits a floor that runs more than one platform - the same item covers the placement positions that call for this tip on a CM, an NPM or a DT machine. What changes between the series is the way a nozzle seats in the holder and the way the head checks its pick height, so a nozzle type is not automatically interchangeable across every platform in the range. Machine series and the parts you place decide what a position needs; if a line runs more than one platform, give us the machine model together with the nozzle number and we will check the match against it.
ZJ-SMT supplies Panasonic SMT and PCB assembly equipment and spare parts to manufacturers worldwide. Our range covers pick-and-place machines, axial and radial insertion equipment, solder paste inspection systems, and feeder spare parts, with both new and used options available. We support bulk orders, and machine condition and availability are confirmed with you before ordering. Whether you are expanding a line, replacing a worn feeder part, or sourcing equipment for a new project, send us your model numbers and our team will come back with a suitable solution and quotation.
Fit it onto the holder the way the old one came off, then run the pick-height and nozzle-centring checks your line already uses after a nozzle change. There is no setting on the nozzle itself to adjust - pick height and centring are handled by the head, so a nozzle that seats fully needs nothing further.
Start with seating, because a nozzle that is not fully home will mispick. Then look at the tip for chips or tape residue, and check the holder for wear. Dropped SMT components and a rising mispick rate usually trace back to one of those three before anything else in the head.
We supply this nozzle as a replacement part for the 240CSN position, made to seat and pick the same way as the nozzle it replaces on Panasonic placement heads. It is a replacement part, not a Panasonic-manufactured original. If your process needs documentation on origin, tell us and we will confirm what is available for this nozzle.
It depends on how many positions run this nozzle and how often you change over. Most shops keep a labelled spare set for the nozzles they change most often, so a worn tip at the end of a shift is a quick swap rather than a line stop.
Tape residue can be cleaned off, but once the tip is chipped, rounded or polished smooth by wear there is no repair that restores the original pickup face. Cleaning it on a regular routine is what extends the working life of a placement nozzle.
No. This nozzle is made for the CM, NPM and DT platforms and for the way those heads seat and hold a nozzle. Other machine brands use their own holder geometry, so a nozzle that looks similar will not sit correctly.
