7.13.2 Implementing parallel placement
Lines with machines arranged in parallel take up a lot more space, so the parallel placement con-
cept was implemented with an underfloor conveyor and horizontal / vertical lift (HV shuttle). The
machines are still arranged in series, but the lift units and underfloor conveyors allow the line to
be operated in parallel. In this way, SIPLACE lines remain almost as compact as before.

Underfloor conveyor 7
Two conveyor belts carry empty or placed PCBs underneath the machines (see Fig. 7.13 - 1).
7
Horizontal/vertical lift (horizontal/vertical shuttle) 7
There is an HV shuttle at the start of a line, between the machines and at the end of the line. It
carries the PCBs between the underfloor and processing levels, and between the two tracks on
the underfloor conveyors.

7.13.3 Advantages of the productivity lift
The productivity lift can raise the productivity of a line overall because it increases the placement
rates of the machines on the line.

Fig. 7.13 - 3 Productivity lift – Avoiding stoppages
If lines are connected in parallel, individual machines may fail without bringing the entire line to a
standstill. It is also possible access individual machines while the rest of the line continues placing
without interruption.
This could be for
– process-related investigations or test operation
– programming PCB fiducials, package forms or test placements
– maintenance or repairs
– operating errors, such as not splicing tapes on in good time or missing components.
Another advantage is that the line can be reconfigured as required using the software, without
having to reset the machines.

7.14 SIEMENS interface
Item no. 00303636-xx
The conveyor interface on the placement machines from the HF series is configured to the
SMEMA standard. It is, however, still possible to use this interface in accordance with the SIE-
MENS standard. This is a significant benefit when an HF series machine is to be integrated into
older SIPLACE lines, in which case it would not be necessary to retrofit the older machines to con-
form to the SMEMA standard.
Simply configure the conveyor interface of the HF series machines to the SIEMENS standard and
connect the machines using the associated interface cable.
More detailed information can be found in the SIEMENS conveyor interface retrofit instructions",
