[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Advanced electronic equipment manufacturer Hanwha Precision Machinery announced on the 7th that it participated in the 'Smart SMT & PCB Assembly 2022' exhibition and showcased a new high-speed chip mounter product.

The Smart SMT & PCB Assembly 2022, held for the first time in three years, is taking place over three days from the 6th to the 8th at the Gyeonggi-do Suwon (Gwanggyo) Convention Center.

At the exhibition, Hanwha Precision Machinery launched its next-generation high-speed chip mounter new product, the 'XM520', for the first time. The XM520 is a high-speed chip mounter capable of mounting 100,000 electronic components (chips) per hour. It is characterized by achieving top-level productivity and quality and can be used for various components and printed circuit boards (PCBs). For this reason, the company explained that it would be possible to optimize combinations for customers' production lines. It also features a function that enables automatic fast model changes, maximizing user convenience. A chip mounter is equipment that automatically assembles embedded boards controlling electronic products requiring high-density and high-integration production technology at high speed. It is mainly used in mobile phones, light-emitting diode (LED) TVs, and automotive electronic components.

The company also showcased differentiated software solutions. It exhibited the high-speed mobile line centered on the high-speed chip mounter 'HM520 NEO' and the M2M (Machine To Machine) function with peripheral equipment, demonstrating advanced technological capabilities to visitors. It displayed the mini LED display dedicated equipment 'HM520h', showcasing its mounting response capabilities. According to Hanwha Precision Machinery, the HM520h has secured a dominant position in the market. The company also introduced its self-developed integrated software called 'T-Solution', a software solution applicable to each section of the SMT manufacturing process using video content.

They introduced the T-M2M function, which links inspection equipment and information to correct mounting quality in real time. The 'T-Smart' solution, which remotely manages production lines using wearable devices such as smartwatches, was also introduced. It is described as an intelligent and automated smart factory solution that organically connects customers' production processes.

Ra Jongseong, Executive Director of the Industrial Equipment Division at Hanwha Precision Machinery, said, "Although the organizer faced difficulties operating the exhibition due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, we are pleased to have successfully led the exhibition as the main sponsor." He added, "We will strive to enhance the prestige of the 'Hanwha brand' by continuously developing new technologies and investing to supply customized integrated platform solutions suitable for the 'Digital & AI (Artificial Intelligence) era' of manufacturing processes."

Hanwha Precision Machinery operates manufacturing equipment businesses such as SMT, semiconductor packaging, and machine tools within the group. In particular, its core business, the SMT equipment business, holds the world's number one market share in the mid-speed chip mounter sector, surpassing Germany and Japan. It is the only company in Korea with independent design, production, and service capabilities.
