The 1002N nozzle is listed for Panasonic NPM series pick and place machine heads. NPM lines are configured differently from plant to plant, so the safest habit is to order against the number you are taking off the head rather than by the type name alone. If several Panasonic platforms share the same floor, keep spare nozzles grouped per head so one does not end up on the wrong machine. Where a line has been running for years, part numbers can be updated over time, so send the machine model together with the number and our team will check it before it is dispatched. Compare any replacement against the part it replaces before you fit 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.
They are separate nozzle types with their own part numbers, so the number on the part you are removing is what identifies the correct one. If the old nozzle carries a different number from the one you expected, send us a photo of it with your machine model and we will check before anything ships.
Watch the placement results rather than the calendar: rising mispicks, dropped SMT components, components landing slightly off pad, or vacuum that no longer holds through a fast move all point to a worn or partly blocked nozzle. Clean it and check the vacuum path first - if the symptoms return within a shift or two, replace it.
This nozzle is listed for Panasonic NPM series pick and place machine heads. Other Panasonic platforms use their own nozzle numbers, and the wrong nozzle usually shows up as a pick-up fault rather than an obvious mismatch. Send us the machine model and the number you are replacing and we will confirm the correct nozzle for that head.
Keep spares in their original packaging, in a dry area away from vibration and heavy traffic, and handle them by the body rather than the tip. Store them grouped by part number so the right nozzle goes back onto the right head, and check a stored nozzle for a bent tip or blocked bore before it goes onto the machine.
Nozzles are consumable replacement parts. Once the tip is bent, the bore is scored or the body is damaged, the reliable route is to fit a new nozzle rather than rework the old one - a nozzle that no longer holds its geometry will keep producing placement faults until it is changed.
Yes. Alongside this nozzle we supply SMT pick and place machine manufacturers, contract assembly plants and service companies with Panasonic nozzles for other head types, plus feeders, valves, motors, boards and cleaning products for the same lines. Send the machine model and the part number you need and we will confirm what we can supply.
