Carel Industries selects Yamaha as global partner

Yamaha Motor Intelligent Machines has secured a global agreement with Carel Industries to supply high-speed surface-mount systems.

The agreement was finalised after Carel management visited Yamaha global headquarters in Hamamatsu to review facilities for design, production and customer support. Inspired by Yamaha’s advanced capabilities, processes, and the capacity to build high volumes of equipment to exacting quality standards.

At the meeting in Dusseldorf, the Carel team drew further inspiration from seeing the latest Yamaha YC8 final-assembly machine in action. Following this demonstration, the two companies are now co-operating to automate processes currently performed manually, such as through-hole and odd-form placement, taking advantage of the YC8’s advanced on-board vision, robot-derived motion controls, and flexible feeding and handling systems.

The Yamaha YS series is a complete, intelligent SMT assembly system comprising the YSP precision printer, modular high-speed, general-purpose and wide-range component mounters offering placement capability up to 72k-50k cph (IPC9850), and the YSi-12 and YSi-S high-speed precision hybrid inspectors for inline or standalone AOI.

Key features of the YS series include advanced print capabilities with print stability control, vision inspection and 3S head for optimum process control, compact mounter dimensions for superb area productivity and large feeder capacity, and Yamaha’s advanced Multiple Accuracy Compensation System for consistent precision.

As a complete, intelligent system, the YS SMT line benefits from productivity-boosting features such as one-click AOI program creation. Yamaha’s control and monitoring software unifies the YS line, promoting seamless interactions, helping minimise setup and changeover times, and supporting traceability and continuous improvement.

Carel will use the equipment to build computerised controllers, electronic compressor drives, and networking and sensing modules used in its advanced air-conditioning and refrigeration systems for industrial, data-centre, and consumer markets.
