Modulært produktionsudstyr

Assembléon har introduceret nye produktionslinier.

The new MC (Modular Compact) Platform from Assembléon has multiple features that reduce costs in high-quality, high-mix production lines. 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.

Lightweight feeders

The MC Platform incorporates new intelligent and lightweight feeders that can be changed in seconds, further reducing NPI times to increase production. The feeders are programmed by the system using settings from a complete component database. That eliminates the costs resulting from operator errors, reduces component waste, and ensures fast time to volume.

Fewer feeders are needed to cover the complete feeding range, so significantly reducing feeder inventory. Off-line preparation, on-line loading units and FES (Feeder Exchange Systems) reduce changeover times even further. Additionally, all machines are as standard equipped with tape cutting to eliminate even more manual interventions.

The MC-12 has a vision recognition system that uses a moving side-view scan camera with advanced optics. That simultaneously takes X and Y component measurements for best accuracy and placement reliability. Simultaneously, the system helps prevent misplaced or missing components, and rejects components with bent leads, damaged bumps or which have been picked upside down.

Versatile production with broad component and board range

The MC-12 chip shooter places up to 36k components per hour (24k to IPC 9850) with 50-micron accuracy at 3 sigma. With up to 120 feeder positions, space productivity is 20k components/hour/m2 – the best on the market.

Complementing the MC-12 are the MC-1 multifunctional mounter (19,1k components/hour and 126 feeder positions) and the MC-8 fine-pitch mounter (8.9k components/hour and 119 feeder positions), both with 30-micron accuracy. Automatic nozzle cleaning procedures on the MC12, MC-1 and MC-8 cut costs and downtime from time consuming manual cleaning. Energy consumption is low, with efficient vacuum air consumption.

The MC platform accepts a component range from 0.4x0.2 mm (01005) right up to 100x45 mm, or 55x55 mm with component heights up to 25.5mm and programmable placement forces from 10 to 30N for press-fitting complex components. The platform accepts boards up to 510x460 mm.

Easy on-board tools enable teaching of placement locations, fiducials and component shapes for fast setup, easy preparation, and simple changeover. That further saves time and reduces costs – making the MC Platform the most cost efficient versatile Pick & Place equipment on the market, especially within high mix, small batch environments.
