Consisting of the recently released MC-12 and two new machines – the MC-1 and MC-8 – the versatile MC-Platform packs up to 126 ultra-thin (12-mm) feeders into each machine.
That reduces the number of machines needed in a production line, and also the factory floor space required. An advanced side-view camera prevents placement defects for right first time production – so cutting expensive waste and rework and associated space, personnel and energy costs.
The platform has full-featured graphical programming tools, and common family set-ups and production scheduling. A full software suite significantly reduces the time and associated costs of product change-over & New Product Introductions (NPIs). That is particularly valuable for small batches, freeing more time for production. There is central parts and program management, with line control and program distribution and full product traceability. Highly integrated preventive maintenance functions reduce the overall cost of placement throughout the equipment’s lifetime.
