PnP PnP Toolkit for Yamaha: setup, terms and part programming
Yamaha’s surface mount division builds modular mounters such as the YSM and YRM series for high-mix and high-volume lines. PnP Toolkit is an independent operator app: pick Yamaha once and it uses Yamaha words for nozzles and feeders, keeps a setup sheet for your Yamaha machine, and points you to P-Tool / YSUP-PG for the program.
What changes when you pick Yamaha
| Pick-up word | Nozzle |
|---|---|
| Feeder word | Feeder |
| Programming software named in the app | P-Tool / YSUP-PG |
| Models in the picker |
|
| Setup sheet | Separate rows for each machine, so a shop with several brands keeps them apart |
Your model not listed? Type it in the picker. The terms above apply to all Yamaha models.
Set it up in four steps
- Open the app on the phone or line PC at pnptoolkit.app. It opens with Yamaha selected; pick your model.
- Fill in the machine setup sheet: the nozzle and feeder you use for each package. Scan your existing setup sheet to save typing.
- Share the team file so every operator on this Yamaha has the same choices (how).
- Add it to the home screen so it opens like any other app, and works offline.
Programming a new part on Yamaha
- Find the part in the library, or scan its label or product page.
- If it is new, type the drawing numbers into the QFN decoder. Check the warnings and the to-scale drawing.
- Type the nominal numbers into P-Tool / YSUP-PG. Use the rotation helper if pin 1 on the tape doesn’t match the CAD.
- Before the run, build the kitting list and load-check every reel into its feeder.
Part categories and part numbers for Yamaha
All 179 library entries work the same on every machine. Tape widths below tell you which feeder sizes to have ready.
Yamaha feeders, nozzles and settings
The names below are what PnP Toolkit offers in the setup sheet pick lists when you pick Yamaha. Each one links to the maker document (or, where marked, the supplier catalog) it came from. Models and options vary, so always match the name printed on your own nozzle or feeder. Compare the same thing across brands in pick-and-place terms across brands.
