N610098969AA Panasonic Nozzle 1001N

Product Overview

For a Panasonic placement head, the nozzle is the part that touches the work: it picks a component from the feeder, holds it on vacuum and sets it on the pad. The 1001N is the nozzle number used across three generations of Panasonic head, so a plant running older CM machines alongside newer NPM lines can keep a single reference on the shelf. This is a direct replacement for the nozzle already fitted to your smt pick and place machine, and fitting a fresh one restores the pick-up consistency the head had when it was new.

Specifications

Typical Applications

• Round-the-clock contract manufacturers — a nozzle that starts missing picks mid-shift takes a whole line down, so a replacement held on site costs far less than the output it protects.
• Planned maintenance windows — fitting the 1001N during a scheduled service stop keeps placement quality steady instead of reacting to defects after the line has already run.
• High-mix production — lines that push a wide mix of smt components through the same head are hardest on pick-up performance, so nozzles are inspected and replaced more often there.
• Field service and repair work — engineers attending Panasonic machines on customer sites carry this nozzle because it covers the head types they are most often called out to.
• SMT spare parts resellers — if you supply PCB assembly plants, this is one of the numbers worth carrying to support CM and NPM head maintenance.

Fitting & Commissioning

1. Power the head down and follow your own lockout procedure before reaching into the machine.
2. Remove the worn nozzle with the tool designed for your head, and set it aside for inspection — a worn tip tells you a lot about what the head has been doing.
3. Check the head side before fitting a replacement: a bent spindle or a dirty seating face will damage a new nozzle as quickly as the old one.
4. Fit the nozzle squarely and confirm it is fully seated; one that stops short will pick intermittently and can still look correct at a glance.
5. Run the nozzle teaching routine your pick and place machine uses, place a first article, and only then release the head back to production.
6. Record the change date and head position so the next replacement can be planned into a service stop rather than a breakdown.

Nozzle Care & Handling

Treat the 1001N as the precision part it is. A nozzle that has been dropped on a bench or rattled around with other tooling will not pick reliably, even when the tip looks undamaged. In daily use, check the tip at the start of a shift and clear flux build-up before it hardens; a lint-free cloth, a soft brush and dry, oil-free air work better than a sharp tool or an aggressive solvent. On a busy line, nozzles are often left in place until placement defects appear, by which time you have scrapped boards as well as lost time. Order replacements against the original part number, the reference the smt pick and place machine manufacturers publish.
