APC system

APC-FB*1Feedback to the printing machine

·Based on the analyzed measurement data from solder inspections, it corrects printing positions. (X,Y,θ)

APC-FF*1Feedforward to the placement machine

·It analyzes solder position measurement data, and corrects component placement positions (X, Y, θ) accordingly.Chip components (0402C/R ~)Package component (QFP, BGA, CSP)

APC-MFB2Feedforward to AOI /Feedback to the placement machine

·Position inspection on APC offset position

·The system analyzes AOI component position measurement data, corrects placement position (X, Y, θ) , and thereby maintains placement accuracy.Compatible with chip components, lower electrode components and lead components*2

*1 : APC-FB (feedback) /FF (feedforward) : 3D inspection machine of another company can be also connected. (Please ask your local sales representative for details.)*2 : APC-MFB2 (mounter feedback2) : Applicable component types vary from one AOI vendor to another. (Please ask your local sales representative for details.)

Automatic recovery option – Pickup position automatic teach in case of an error

When pickup/recognition error occurred, the machine automatically corrects the pickup position without stopping, and resumes production.That improves machine operation rate.(Components: 4 mm embossed (black) / 8 mm paper/embossed (black) tape component. *Embossed tape (transparency) is not supported.)

Automatically resume production after pickup position teach

Automatic recovery option – Re-pickup of error component (retry)

In case of a pickup error, retry pickup without feeding tape. It reduces discard components.

In case of an error: re-pickup (retry) at the current position*No tape feed

No discard component becausetape is not fed.*

□ When re-pickup (retry) is succeeded, the error is not counted□ The number of re-pick (retry) counts can be set.

* : When re-pickup (retry) is succeeded.

Automatic recovery option – Evolved automatic recovery (predicted control)

LNB automatically analyzes the variation of pickup/recognition error rate and instructs the machine to perform teaching to prevent machine error stop.

Remote operation option

Recovery by remote operation is available for the error of which recovery can be made based on human judgment alone.This enables concentrated on-the-floor monitoring, eliminating the time lost for the operator to detect error and take appropriate action, reducing the error recovery time, and thus achieving labor saving and improved operating rate.

Navigation – Feeder setup navigator option

It is a support tool to navigate efficient setup procedure. The tool factors in the amount of time it takes to perform and complete setup operations when estimating the time required for production and providing the operator with setup instructions.This will visualize and streamline setup operations during setup for a production line.

Navigation – Component supply navigator option

A component supply support tool that navigates efficient component supply priorities. It considers the time left until component run-out and efficient path of operator movement to send component supply instructions to each operator. This achieves more efficient component supply.

*PanaCIM is required to have operators in charge of supplying components to multiple production lines.

Placement head maintenance

Good use is made of the machine’s self-diagnosis function to automatically detect the maintenance timing of the placement head. In addition, the maintenance unit can be used to keep the placement head in working condition without requiring skills.

Load checker(Under development)

Measures the“indentation load” imposed by the placement head, and, as the amount of change from the reference value, displays the measured result on the machine’s monitor or LNB.

Head maintenance unit

To automate the inspection and maintenance of the placement head.

Head diagnosis function (Under development)

Inspects the pneumatic circuit condition

Blow error detection *1

Checks the placement blow status

*1：This function comes standard with the machine

Feeder maintenance

Independent of operator skill, the feeder maintenance unit automatically performs feeder performance inspections and calibrations. Its combined use with the PanaCIM maintenance module can automatically prevent the inclusion of non-conforming feeders into production.

Feeder maintenance unit

Automates the inspection of major parts which affect the feeder performance and the calibration of the pickup position.

Thin-type single feeder attachment

Thin-type single feeder attachment*2(option)

*2：The “Thin type single tape feeder” and “Autoload feeder (Under development) “require the “Master jig for thin type single feeder” and “Attachment for thin type single feeder”.

PanaCIM maintenance

Manages the assets of mounting floor, such as machines, heads and feeders, notifies the assets nearing their maintenance dates, and records maintenance histories.

Interlock function

·Monitors the error status during production, and applies Interlock to defective feeders

·Interlock for feeders judged non-conforming by IFMU

Changeover ability – Automatic changeover option

Supporting changeover (production data and rail width adjustment) can minimize time loss

• PCB ID read-in typePCB ID read-in function is selectable from among 3 types of external scanner, head camera or planning form

M2M – iLNB* (Model No.NM-EJS5B)

Collective control of your line composed not only of Panasonic’s machines but of third vendors’ through a single PC provides support for your actual production, quality control and processing.Panasonic is ready to take on the interface between its machines and third vendors’.

Data Creation System – Optimization of setup (option)

In production involving multiple models, setup workloads are taken into account and optimized.

For more than one PCB sharing common component placement, multiple setups may be required due to a shortage of suppy units.In order to reduce the required setup workloads in such a case, this option divides PCBs into similar component placement groups, selects a table (s) for setup and thus automates component placement operation.It contributes to improving setup performance and reducing production preparation time for customer manufacturing various kinds of products in small quantities.

Example

Component Verification option – Off-line setup support station

Prevents setup errors during changeoverProvides an increase of production efficiency through easy operation

*Wireless scanners and other accessories to be provided by customer
