Software
PhPNP for ALMAS 8
PhPNP is the software for ALMAS 8. It supports camera-assisted placement, component alignment, calibration workflows and Pick and Place project handling.
Prototype assembly workflow
Designed for assembling PCB prototypes and small series, where setup speed, calibration and operator control matter more than high-volume production throughput.
