The modular system features a large feeder capacity – up to 310 feeders, graphical control software, inventory control and traceability, and changeover without downtime. Easyplacer is the powerful man-machine interface of the pick-and-place system. For easy operation, all information is displayed graphically. Complex coordinate lists are quickly converted into a clear virtual view of the PCB, which operators can understand and control. The Easyplacer software is easy to learn and designed to fulfill both operator and programmer expectations. In a high-mix production, the changeover is the most important cost factor.
According to the company, with the FLX concept, changeover cost and time can be minimized. Offline production preparation and programming, in combination with intelligent feeders and a large feeder capacity, allow a product changeover with no downtime. Placing only chips and ICs from tape, stick and tray is not enough in a high-mix environment. Therefore, the pick-and-place system can accept nearly any kind of feeding system. Even an independent unit can be used as a feeder, such as a vibratory bowl feeder for bulk components with no electrical connection to the machine. The feeder flexibility enables customer-specific applications far beyond standard placement.
The system is equipped with a combination of different alignment systems: laser and vision. Together, they provide advantages for both chip shooting and ultra-fine-pitch placement. Vision systems can be upgraded at the customer site if the production requirements change.
