Assembléon demonstrate industry leading pick and place performance

Working equipment platforms show easy integration into a line, with unique performance guarantees.

Assembléon is showing its three pick and place platforms at Productronica (Munich, 13-16 November, Hall A4 Stand 179). Alongside the complete A- Series will be the MG-1 and MG-8 (M- Series) and Opal-Xii and Opal-Xii FP (X-Series). Modular equipment design makes it easy to scale production volumes up and down, even producing single prototypes. All machines work with high-product mixes in automotive, industrial, telecom, consumer and related sectors.

The open-architecture Assembléon Manufacturing Suite ensures easy integration with other electronic manufacturing software. The award- winning Installed Base Solutions helps bring a unique performance guarantee for the production line including defects per million (dpm), first-pass yield, traceability, flexibility and support levels.

A-Series provides single-digit dpm performance. All three A-Series machines (AX-201, AX-301 and AX- 501) will be at Productronica, including a production line made up of the AX- 501 and AX-201. The A-Series brings best-in-class first-pass yield, with single- digit dpm performance – the industry benchmark. Accuracy for complex, fine- pitch and odd-form components is as good as 25m at four sigma. Product changeovers take typically less than 6min. Output scales up or down without affecting the line footprint.

M-Series suits complex component mixes. Assembléon's M-Series brings fast, accurate and versatile placement for medium and large batches with complex component mixes. The MG-1 and MG-8 eliminate placement defects using a 3-D co-planarity camera and side view camera, and have optional Force Control. They self-calibrate, and are self maintaining.

X-Series for lean manufacturing. The X- Series brings cost-effective lean manufacturing for small and medium batches. It offers the fastest route from CAD data to first products. Machines are easily optimized for ultra-high feeder count and large boards – customers simply mix and match modules to suit.
