Model 212 Intelligent Nozzle Storage System

On the SMT production line, nozzles may be small in size but critical to quality. Wear on a single nozzle can compromise the accuracy of an entire batch of components; a single pick-and-place error may bring the line to a brief halt. Yet the characteristics of nozzles—small, scattered, high-value, and difficult to manage—have long troubled managers and frontline operators in SMT plants.

Shenzhen Synergie Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. is set to launch a brand-new flagship product in 2026: the Model 212 Series Intelligent Nozzle Storage Cabinet, which will completely reshape nozzle management through automation and intelligence.

A Leap Forward from Cleaning to Storage

The previously launched Model 211Europa Intelligent Nozzle Cleaning Machine from Synergie has already earned an excellent reputation in the market. Building on this proven technology, the Model 212 Series evolves even further, expanding its scope from “cleaning” to full-chain management of “storage + sorting + tray preparation”.

This new model enables automatic classified storage, automatic sorting, and automatic tray preparation of nozzles, with no manual handling required from warehousing and collection to maintenance. This means production staff no longer need to spend large amounts of time searching, counting, and organizing nozzles—replaced by efficient, precise automated operations.

Targeting Pain Points for Traceable Management

What makes nozzle management so challenging on SMT lines? After extensive on-site research, Synergie has identified four core pain points:

- Small and easy to lose: tiny size leads to easy dropping or loss during manual handling

- Scattered and disorganized: mixed storage of various models causes time-consuming searching

- High unit cost: expensive nozzles directly increase production costs when damaged

- Poor traceability: no system records for inbound/outbound, unclear usage, and lack of lifecycle management

The Model 212 Series Intelligent Nozzle Storage Cabinet uses an intelligent recognition software system to create a digital profile for each nozzle. The entire process—from warehousing, collection, cleaning and maintenance to disposal—is fully traceable, realizing true full-lifecycle nozzle management.

Flexible Compatibility for Mainstream Production Lines

The Model 212 Series features a multi-layer access grid system, supporting both bulk storage & retrieval and scattered storage & retrieval:

- Bulk storage & retrieval: compatible with nozzle exchange stations of mainstream pick-and-place machines including Fuji, Panasonic, and Siemens for efficient batch operation

- Scattered storage & retrieval: flexible access to single or small quantities of nozzles via special grid-type storage trays

In addition, the machine supports reading, recognition, and storage of special-shaped nozzles, solving the longstanding problem of automated management for non-standard nozzles.

Strong Specifications for Multi-Scene Requirements

With robust hardware performance, the Model 212 Series delivers high-efficiency nozzle management:

Supported nozzle types: 20 types, covering all mainstream pick-and-place machines

Debut at electronica China Shanghai

This highly anticipated new model made its first public appearance at electronica China Shanghai on March 25, 2026.

Synergie conducted live on-site demonstrations, showcasing the actual performance of the Model 212 Series in nozzle access efficiency, recognition accuracy, and system traceability.
