Accurate
The PlaceStation uses dual HD cameras with custom optics, providing high resolution and a wide field of view. This ensures precise calibration for both small and large components.
PlaceStation
PlaceStation is a high-precision surface-mount technology (SMT) pick and place machine designed and manufactured in India for electronics labs, hardware startups, and small-to-medium production runs. Whether you're prototyping a new PCB design or running repeat batches, PlaceStation delivers the speed and accuracy you need without the cost of industrial machines.
PlaceStation is ideal for electronics engineers, hardware startups, PCB designers, and EMS providers in India who need affordable, reliable SMT assembly in-house. Stop outsourcing small runs — own your production line.
Designed and manufactured by Tejwani Industries Private Limited, Kalyan, Maharashtra. Full local support, spare parts availability, and a growing user community.
Automatically assemble a batch in-house, instead of waiting weeks and paying thousands for an assembly shop to get you time-critical prototypes. Keep your team moving.
The PlaceStation uses dual HD cameras with custom optics, providing high resolution and a wide field of view. This ensures precise calibration for both small and large components.
Integrated high resolution pressure sensors keep track of pneumatic line vacuum levels, allowing the PlaceStation to immediately detect a mispick and take corrective action. Redundant part detection systems ensure that your components are picked and mounted correctly.
Fully outfitted with linear rails on every axis, high current stepper drivers, and integrated current monitoring, the PlaceStation is capable of high speed population, keeping your R&D program moving as fast as you do.
The PlaceStation has a robust and stable feeder system, capable of consistent and repeatable delivery of components with high accuracy. Once loaded with parts, they will feed for thousands of parts uninterrupted.
The Staging Plate system facilitates the PlaceStation to be configured for incredibly large PCBs, allowing for large panels maximizing throughput, or unique applications that require large geometry.
