Super Dry Totech will feature its dry storage solutions for moisture sensitive devices, including vacuum packaging systems and moisture barrier bags at this year’s productronica in Munich. Visitors will find out how low humidity desiccant cabinets can protect a wide range of products against defects caused by humidity. Designed to exceed IPC/JEDEC J-Std-033C, the cabinets can dehumidify to less than 0.5% RH. This qualifies them not only for unlimited safe storage, but also to safely remove moisture, thus resetting floor life without oxidation, even at ambient temperatures.
On display will be the XSDR Reset cabinets. Using sensor technology and software, they can independently track the timing of 10 separate batches of components being reset at the same time per chamber. Two separate chambers, each with their own dry-unit and heater enable two different temperatures to be applied in the same cabinet, dehumidifying to less than 1% RH.
Also on display will be the XSDC 601 solder paste storage cabinets which enable both temperature control and 4.0 traceability while eliminating the uncontrolled management of solder inventory. With a stable internal temperature of 2 – 20°C with minimal energy expenditure, these solder paste cabinets prolong the shelf life of solder paste and ensure it performs as expected when needed for production.
Other exhibits include the fully automated, robotically controlled, component handling and storage system, Dry Tower. Incorporating mature, proven MSD technology and wide-ranging WMS-system integration capabilities, these systems are capable of automatically managing tens of thousands of reels and trays and are totally modular for all mix and volume manufacturing scenarios. Being demonstrated live at the show will be Dry Towers’ integrated Autonomous Indoor Vehicles (AIV). The driverless transport systems can manoeuvre autonomously in production and feed the required material to the line, including magazines, component reels, paste, and cleaning paper.
The XSDC long term storage cabinets has a U-5000 series dynamic drying unit that reaches reliable, low humidity values of 5%RH and automatically regenerates when necessary. At the same time, the cooling unit maintains a constant temperature as low as 10°C below ambient.
The MSD series is a modular drying cabinet that adapts to storage and drying requirements. With the U5000 series dynamic dry unit, the basic MSD can be expanded in the field without the need for additional units. The regeneration times is also reduced through closed loop control.
The software tool, MSL 2.0, enables manufacturers of any size to comprehensively maintain control of all their component inventory, and particularly their moisture sensitive devices. Whether integrated with existing ERP and MES systems or used in a standalone fashion, real time monitoring and traceability of moisture sensitive inventory helps manufacturers on the path to achieving their 4.0 goals.
