The HM520W is a high-performance modular mounter designed for modern SMT lines that require a balance between extreme speed and high flexibility. It belongs to the HM series, which focuses on "High Speed, High Reliability, and Smart Factory" integration.
Productivity & Performance
The HM520W is engineered to minimize downtime and maximize throughput (CPH).
- Dual Gantry System: The machine uses a two-gantry system. In the W (Wide/Multi-Function) configuration, it typically utilizes 6-spindle "Piano" heads.
- Speed: It achieves a maximum of 60,000 CPH (Optimum).
- HM Feeders: The system uses next-generation 8mm feeders that are 24% faster than previous models, significantly reducing the pick-and-place cycle time.
- Non-stop Production: Features like the Outbuffer allow the machine to start processing a new PCB while the previous one is still being transferred out, saving valuable seconds in high-volume runs.
Component Versatility (The "Wide" Capability)
Unlike the HS (High Speed) version which focuses on small chips, the HM520W is the "all-rounder" of the series:
- Component Range: Handles everything from tiny 0402 (metric) chips up to large 55mm x 55mm ICs or connectors (up to 150mm length in specific setups).
- Height Handling: Supports components up to 15mm in height, making it suitable for electrolytic capacitors, connectors, and shielding cans.
- Advanced Heads: Supports quick-change MF (Multi-Function) and HP (High Performance) heads to adapt to different production needs.
Accuracy & Reliability Features
To ensure zero-defect manufacturing, Hanwha integrated several "Smart" sensors:
- Side View Camera: This real-time sensor inspects components on the nozzle during movement. It detects missing parts or "tombstoning" before placement, preventing errors.
- Automatic Center of Rotation (COR) Correction: The machine automatically checks the nozzle center and offsets, maintaining high precision over long shifts.
- Height Sensor: A laser sensor measures PCB warpage (warp) and adjusts the placement height dynamically, which is crucial for thin or densely packed boards.

Smart Factory Integration (T-Solution)
The HM520W is fully compatible with Hanwha’s T-Solution software suite:
- T-OLP: For offline programming and line balancing.
- T-PVS: A verification system that uses barcodes to ensure the operator has loaded the correct components into the correct slots.
- T-Mobile: Allows engineers to monitor the line status and receive error alerts on smartphones or smartwatches from anywhere in the factory.
