Project Type4 used Yamaha YSM20R machines (2 orders)
Purchase Date2022-11 & 2023-07
Driving RequirementHigh-speed, high-precision placement for indoor & outdoor LED modules
LED display makers sell assembled modules into projects, so repeatability beats peak speed. Covering 0201 to 55 × 100 mm keeps the indoor and outdoor portfolio open; this Spanish maker used pre-owned machines for it.
Customer Background: Scaling LED Display Production
A Spanish LED display manufacturer needed high-precision, high-speed pick-and-place machines for indoor and outdoor LED modules, and chose used YSM20R machines for reliability and wide chip-size coverage.
Two orders — November 2022 and July 2023 — delivered four used YSM20R (YSM20R-2 PV) in a 2 + 2 split: 60 SS08mm electric feeders, 20 1515 (302A) nozzles, 4 tray carts, commissioned by JHIMS.
The YSM20R’s 95,000 CPH, ±0.035 mm accuracy and 0201 to 55×100 mm range fitted the customer’s LED modules. At used prices this was flagship Yamaha performance, with feeders, nozzles and carts included.
Project Challenges
- Minimal Usage Used YSM20R machines with minimal usage hours and excellent physical condition.
- No Operational Issues Guaranteed no operational issues, verified before shipment.
- Authenticity Assurance Assurance of machine authenticity and performance against official specs.
- Production-Ready Bundle Feeders, nozzles and tray carts delivered together so the line can start immediately.
- Cross-Border Delivery Machines inspected in China and shipped to the customer’s factory in Spain.
Five risk points when a used high-speed machine is bought at a distance: machine hours and wear, running faults, type substitution, missing accessories, and cross-border delivery, where documentation is the only bridge.
The procurement risks recorded for this project, and the verification step that closes each one before shipment.
| Recorded risk | Why it matters in production | How it is closed |
|---|---|---|
| Minimal usage | High hours shorten the period before guides and drives need attention | Runtime logging and manufacturing-date verification on each unit |
| No operational issues | Vacuum, feeder and vision faults appear under load, not on inspection | Functional testing of all subsystems before shipment |
| Authenticity | A machine that is not the stated type invalidates accuracy data and spare-part plans | Verification against Yamaha official specifications |
| Configuration completeness | A machine without the right feeders and nozzles cannot run on arrival | Complete kit: 60 SS08mm electric feeders, 20 x 1515 type 302A nozzles, 4 tray carts |
| Cross-border delivery | Inspection and production happen in different countries | Documented inspection evidence supplied with the machines |
| Placement quality | Chip position errors in LED modules show up as rework at module level | CPK accuracy checks performed on every machine |
| Precision on fine pitch | Fine-pitch modules need consistent placement, not just a capable machine | Capability verified per unit, not per model |
| Ramp-up time | Accessory orders placed after arrival delay the start of production | Accessories delivered in the same shipment as the machines |
| Long-term support | Fleet uptime depends on parts and service availability | Parts, remote diagnostics and on-site service through the supplier |
Customer Requirements
Before purchasing used machines, the customer verified five non-negotiable requirements:
- High Placement Speed Enough CPH to keep up with growing LED module orders.
- Precision Placement Consistent accuracy for fine-pitch LED chips and modules.
- Verified Condition Usage hours, manufacturing date and physical condition of each used YSM20R confirmed before purchase.
- Official-Spec Performance Machines verified against Yamaha official specifications.
- Complete Line Kit Feeders, nozzles and carts included so production starts immediately.
Requirements cover the machine and its accessories — how a capability is bought, not a machine. Verified condition and official specs prove the units deliver; drop any of the three and arrival slips from days to weeks.
JHIMS Solution
- Full Inspection Assessed runtime, manufacturing date, and overall condition of every machine.
- CPK Accuracy Checks Performed accuracy checks (CPK), cleaned, lubricated, and tested all functions.
- Official Verification Verified each machine against Yamaha’s official specifications before delivery.
- Complete Bundle 60 SS08mm electric feeders, 20 nozzles (1515, type 302A) and 4 tray carts with the machines.
- Commissioning Support Installation, commissioning and operator training by JHIMS engineers.
- After-Sales Service Video tutorials, operation manuals, remote diagnostics and on-site service.
JHIMS’s YSM20R protocol covers all functions: runtime logging, manufacturing date verification, CPK accuracy tests, axis and feeder checks, cleaning and lubrication — then testing against Yamaha official specifications.
Layered by design: hour logs cut machines whose life does not match the price; CPK checks measure the system as a whole; cleaning and lubrication restore the vacuum path pickup needs — the same standard in 2022 and 2023.

Used YSM20R Inspection & Delivery
Every used YSM20R passed the JHIMS protocol before shipment: runtime logging, date verification, CPK accuracy tests, axis and feeder checks, cleaning and lubrication, then testing against Yamaha official specifications.
Read in sequence, the protocol shows why a delivered machine can be called production-ready.
- Inspection and run-in before shipment: runtime and manufacturing-date logs fix machine age in operating hours.
- CPK placement accuracy is verified and the report handed over: ±0.035 mm, or ±0.025 mm at Cpk 1.0.
- The feeder, nozzle and tray kit is completed to the line’s requirement.
- Packing and loading are documented.
- Remote support covers installation.
- Spare parts and service continue after delivery.
Video: Buying a Used YSM20R
Watch this guide on what to look for when buying SMT machines and Yamaha machines — the same inspection principles JHIMS applied to the machines delivered in this project. Watch the full buying guide on YouTube.
The guide is worth watching next to the inspection record; its questions are the ones the protocol answers.
- How machine hours and service history are verified.
- How the type and revision are confirmed.
- What to check on feeders, nozzles and rails.
- Why accuracy is judged from CPK data, not a demo placement.
- What documentation must ship with the machine.
- What makes arrival production-ready rather than a project.
Results & Operational Benefits
The machines ran flawlessly for two years, with consistent output and zero breakdowns. The customer reported a 30% efficiency gain, supporting expanding LED display orders and a stronger European position.
JHIMS exceeded our expectations with their professionalism and the quality of the Yamaha YSM20R. It has been a game-changer for our LED manufacturing process. — Spanish LED Manufacturer
- Efficiency 30% increase in production efficiency reported by the customer.
- Reliability Flawless operation for two years with zero breakdowns.
- Consistency Consistent performance for indoor and outdoor LED module assembly.
- Repeat Purchase The July 2023 order added the third and fourth machines, and the third of them opened a third production line. That machine has its own case study.
- European Market Strength Expanded LED display orders strengthened the customer’s position in the European market.
The repeat purchase history (2 + 2 used YSM20R machines plus a later third-line addition) reflects the trust built through JHIMS’s inspection quality and after-sales responsiveness.
Two years of zero breakdowns beats any specification: it reports the whole system. Feeder jams, nozzle faults, vision errors and wear surface only in production, and explain the reported 30% efficiency gain.
Standardising the Line on One Mounter Model
Buying the same model four times over two orders is deliberate standardisation, not convenience. A mixed fleet needs separate spare parts, nozzle and feeder sets and operator training; one platform shares them all.
Standardisation also changes how capacity is allocated across four machines.
- One program library for all four: planners assign machines to products, not products to machines.
- A shared feeder, nozzle and spare-parts pool.
- Operators trained once, able to run any machine at ±0.035 mm (±0.025 mm at Cpk 1.0).
- Maintenance windows move production to other units instead of stopping it.
