Amistar Automation is proud to offer the M-series line of Pick and Place Machines from i-PULSE,
A Yamaha Motors Company.

In the world of Factory Automation for Electronics, i-PULSE has become synonymous with Quality and Integrity.  There simply is not a better-built machine available.

These machines are rugged, World-Class, highly flexible and efficient production machines.  The M-Series uses 100% Vision-Processing – not lasers or any other centering devices.  The advanced VCS and lighting systems make programming and operation fast and easy.  All machines come standard with many outstanding features to meet all production requirements.

The M-series machines from i-PULSE are built on a ‘foundation of bedrock.’  That foundation is in the form of a one-piece cast frame, from the gantry components to the floor, which give the machines tremendous strength and rigidity.  This eliminates any vibration and allows for high-speed operation without loss of accuracy, and a long lifespan without loss of accuracy.  The critical surfaces are finished by hand, down to micron order, to achieve an unsurpassed level of machine accuracy without the need for shims or other ‘extra pieces.’

The M-series machines are all capable of handling components down to 01005 (0402 metric) and also large and odd-form components.  They are complete systems, without the need for ‘specialized’ auxiliary machines to handle different components.  Depending on your throughput requirements, they can be used alone or grouped together.  All machines include SMEMA communication, so the M-Series machine can be included in an existing line, able to communicate with conveyors, ovens, printers, or other pick-and-place machines.

Amistar Automation offers expert Installation and Training, and continued Service and Support for your i-PULSE Equipment.  And although we are available whenever you need us, the i-PULSE machines are made to run, and have a reputation for minimal interventions for service.  You simply cannot go wrong with the M-Series machines from i-PULSE.


The M20 truly represents the next generation in SMT Automation.  i-PULSE continues its supremacy in the true Multi-Mounter placement system category with this feature-packed machine.

The extra-large PCB handling allows production capability never before seen in a standard footprint mounter.  Increased component height and overall  dimension capability expands the range of placeable components, making the M20 and M10 the most flexible and capable machines ever offered from i-PULSE.

Available in 4- and 6-head configurations, the M20 is custom-tailored to your needs for throughput.  Maximum 144 feeders can be on fixed feeder banks, or on changeable banks of 36 feeders each, for fast and easy changeover.  Also, the 36-feeder changeable banks can be swapped with a 40-tray changer.

The M20 includes new standard features, such as “Force Control Function,” which allows adjustment and measurement of the downward force applied to components being placed – from 5N to 60N.  Another new standard feature is  placement verification using the downward-looking camera.  This feature effectively eliminates the need for a separate after-placement inspection machine.
