Abstract
A component placement machine for assembling at least one component on to at least one printed circuit board (PCB) is provided. The component placement machine comprises at least one head configured for picking a component from at least one feeder and placing the picked component on to a PCB of a first PCB product. The component placement machine also includes at least one feeder bank system separate from the head, wherein the feeder system includes a first feeder bank and a second feeder bank and a positioning system for moving both the entire first feeder bank and the entire second feeder bank in both a horizontal X direction and a perpendicular horizontal Y direction, wherein the feeder bank system is configured to enable a setup of a second PCB product on the component placement machine while the component placement machine assembles the PCB of the first PCB product. The entire first feeder bank and the entire second feeder bank of the at least one feeder bank system are each movably located on said component placement machine independently from each other, so that movement of the entire first feeder bank occurs while said component placement machine uses the second feeder bank to assemble said printed circuit board of said first printed circuit board product.
