FAQs:
  • What is the relationship between Panasonic part number MTNP000972AA and SMC model ZS-36-A-X349?
    MTNP000972AA is Panasonic's internal part number for this air filter, while ZS-36-A-X349 is the original SMC manufacturer's model number. Both refer to the same physical product with identical filtration performance, installation dimensions, and service life. The difference is solely in part number labeling and supply chain identification.
  • Why is regular replacement of this air filter important for SMT machines?
    Regular replacement prevents accumulated contaminants from reducing airflow resistance and filtration efficiency. Delayed replacement can lead to reduced pneumatic response speed, unstable vacuum or pressure levels, increased wear on valves and actuators, and higher failure rates in pneumatic sensors. Proactive replacement is a cost-effective strategy to avoid expensive machine downtime.
  • Which Panasonic machines is this air filter compatible with?
    This air filter is specifically designed for Panasonic NPM series pick and place machines. It is used in their pneumatic systems for component pickup, nozzle movement, valve actuation, and sensor stability. It supports high-speed, high-precision placement environments and is suitable for facilities with continuous 24/7 operation cycles.
