The ASYS Group will showcase its flexible, scalable solutions for the manufacturing of the future at the SMTconnect fair in Nuremberg from May 9–11, 2023. The company, located at Booth 4A/324, will display a variety of solutions including its autonomous depaneler with offline programming, its fully automatic printer with newly developed paste pick-up, as well as material logistics components that support the operator.
ASYCAM Extended
Scalable from semi-automatic to autonomous depaneling, the new “ASYCAM Extended Version“ includes a “digital copy” of the machine. The software extension allows the operator to program the zero points of the incoming PCBs in the machine, in addition to the gripping and milling positions. The information is converted by ASYCAM into an XML file. The DIN file is passed on to the machine by the operator. Without having to interrupt the production process, the operator is now able to set new programs. This improves the utilization of the machine and reduces the setup time by up to 70%. Immediately after creating the ASYCAM XML file in the machine, production can start. The user interface is deliberately kept simple and intuitive, making it easy to learn. Operators who already use the ASYCAM standard software will recognize the similar interface. This eliminates the need for time-consuming learning.
Reducing errors through visual operator support
For consumption-oriented replenishment of material, especially SMD component reels, ASYS has developed an intelligent system that minimizes line downtime, supports the operator and thus maximizes the efficiency of the entire line. “Pick-by-Light“ combines operator-oriented hardware and intelligent software modules in a harmonious interaction. For the operator, the “Pick-by-Light“ visual support eliminates the time-consuming process of searching, rearranging and identifying the correct component roll for replenishment. It ensures that the operator can work quickly and intuitively. The removal of the individual roll from the roll magazine is visually supported by the light bar and the operator is guided in a targeted manner. The clear visual identification also minimizes operator errors that could lead to further downtime for the entire line. Consumption- and demand-oriented replenishment of the placement systems and thus of the lines is guaranteed.
Printing in new spheres
The SERIO 6000 is the world‘s first fully automatic printer. The system offers automation in stages – adaptable to the automation level of the existing production. With the smart autonomous printer, for example, squeegees and stencils can be set up asynchronously. New to the SERIO 6000 is the electric “Sphere“ squeegee head. The squeegee stroke and angle are adjusted electrically, while the pressure force is continuously measured and controlled. The squeegee head is now able to independently pick up solder paste from the stencil and transfer it to another stencil, or to reuse the solder paste sustainably.
Specific tools and materials can be stored directly at the printer and then automatically installed at the right time for the next product cycle. Setup can be done manually by an operator or by an autonomous process assistant (APA). The SERIO 6000 is capable of operating over multiple shifts without significant operator intervention.
