The Panasonic CM602 Series — including the standard CM602 and the extended CM602-L — is a high-speed, modular pick-and-place platform engineered for maximum efficiency, precision, and flexibility in SMT production. Built for high-volume, high-mix environments, both models support a wide range of components and PCB sizes, making them ideal for industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, computing, and industrial automation.

Three heads mount on the same platform, so the machine is configured around the product rather than the other way round. The 12-nozzle high-speed head is the volume setting and the fastest of the three, which suits boards dominated by small chip components. The 8-nozzle flexible head covers panels that mix chip sizes with fine-pitch QFPs, so one setup reaches further across the board. The 3-nozzle multi-function head is for larger and odd-form parts — connectors, shields and heavier components that need a slower, more controlled placement. With the feeder bank fully loaded, a whole product family stays set up across a shift instead of being re-taped and re-checked between runs, and that is what turns the same SMD pick and place machine into both a volume tool and a mixed-build tool.
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.
Real-time recognition and alignment run through every placement cycle, and the machine also checks for board warpage as the panel moves through. A board that is not perfectly flat is corrected rather than rejected, which is what keeps placement steady across a long, mixed run.
The linear motor drive system removes the belts and pulleys that wear on older gantry designs, so the motion stays smooth and vibration-free with less to replace over time. Day-to-day attention goes to nozzle condition, feeder health and keeping the placement area clean, with a periodic accuracy check added to your preventive maintenance schedule.
No. The extra length is in board handling, not in the feeder bank, so the extended model is loaded in exactly the same way as the standard machine. How many parts you can run at once depends on how many feeder positions you load, not on which version you order.
Yes. The 12-nozzle, 8-nozzle and 3-nozzle heads all mount on the same platform, so a volume build can run on the high-speed head and a mixed build can move to the flexible or multi-function head without adding a second SMD pick and place machine to the line. The feeder carts and nozzle set travel with the product, which keeps changeover short.
Nozzle choice follows the component rather than the machine version, so if you already run Panasonic equipment on the line, your existing nozzle stock is the starting point. Send us your component list and the part numbers you hold, and we will confirm which nozzles your build needs.
Yes. Head, nozzle and feeder selections are made around the components you run, so a build dominated by small chips is set up differently from one that mixes fine-pitch parts with large connectors. As SMT pick and place machine manufacturers, we build the configuration around your component list and feeder mix, so the machine arrives ready for the boards you run.
