From compact prototyping systems to higher-capacity production machines, compare the SMTmax QM lineup and choose the placement platform that fits your PCB size, component count and production goals.
The QM2040 starts the lineup with a compact two-head platform. The QM4044 increases placement heads and throughput for growing in-house production. The QM6064 adds six heads, 64 feeder positions and a larger working area. The QM8080 tops the lineup with eight heads, 80 feeder positions and the highest estimated placement throughput.
All three are designed around practical SMT production needs, with programmable placement, vision-assisted alignment and support for common SMT component packaging.
Compact
Compact two-head system for prototyping, engineering labs and small-batch in-house SMT assembly.
Popular
Four-head stand-alone machine with more placement capacity, an internal conveyor and flexible feeder support.
Higher Capacity
Six-head production system with a larger PCB work area and higher feeder capacity for more demanding jobs.
Highest Throughput
Eight-head production system with 80 feeder positions and the highest placement throughput in the current QM lineup.

Start here when floor space, budget and prototyping flexibility matter most. Its compact footprint is well suited to labs and smaller production runs.
Move to four heads and 44 feeder positions when you need more throughput and component capacity while keeping a manageable machine footprint.
Choose the six-head model for larger boards, more loaded components and higher placement throughput as production requirements grow.
Choose the eight-head model when you need the highest feeder capacity and estimated throughput in the QM lineup.
SMTmax can help determine machine fit, feeder sizes and a practical starting feeder package for your project.
