SIPLACE station software

General

Individual measurement

data

The individual measurement

data determined by the

SIPLACE station software

(measurement contexts) can

be saved at the station. This

can be linked to the following

conditions (Vision measure-

ment options):

1. Unable to measure com-

ponent and measurement

data (measurement con-

texts) should be saved.

These measurement data

can then be used for opti-

mization purposes in a

subsequent analysis. As

with other optical inspec-

tion systems, pseudo

errors can be differentiat-

ed from other errors and

the affected component

shape can then be opti-

mized.

2. Vision measurement

logs should always be

written for this compo-

nent.

Whenever there is general

uncertainty about the

quality of a component,

the Vision logs can be writ-

ten for all components.

3. As soon as Vision errors

occur for the component,

the placement machine

will stop.

If you want to avoid com-

ponent rejection, particu-

larly for very expensive

components, this option

can be used to correct all

measurement errors

occurring, without the

need for any rejections.

The machine waits with

the component, in front of

the camera, so that the

component can be

checked.

In addition, pickup and place

positions can be checked

with the PCB camera. This

makes 100% placement con-

trol possible in the machine.

Teaching components

Component shapes which

are not part of the standard

component shape library can

be generated using the

offline programming system

SIPLACE Pro, with the help

of data sheets, or with the

offline Vision teach station

and a sample component.

Alternatively, a component

shape can be marked as

incomplete and transferred

to the station with this status.

The description can be com-

pleted after the first pickup

run on the line.

After completion of the

description, a robustness

analysis can be performed at

the station, to ensure that

this component is always

recognized reliably, even

under different conditions.

You can also program the

placement positions on the

board in the station software.

This software provides

advanced support functions

which allow you, for exam-

ple, to combine images from

the PCB camera with data

from the placement program.

This boosts the productivity

significantly for production

environments with frequent

new production introductions

or product changeovers.

The SIPLACE station soft-

ware makes daily work

easier for users

Many other features in the

station software make day-

to-day work easier for the

users and optimize the SMT

production processes.

• Calibration process con-

trol is fully integrated into

the SW

• Self-repair routines for

nozzles and feeder mod-

ules

• Self-determination of

feeder module cycle

• "Alarms" - at a glance

• "FaceDown" recognition

• Direct access to board

conveyor functions, such

as "nonstop board trans-

port".

Software version 707.1 with SMART GUI

The interface between the

operator and the placement

machine has been enhanced

with a range of advanced

functions. However, the

existing navigation system

with "graphical soft buttons"

on the touchscreen and the

arrangement of these but-

tons has been kept, so that

users accustomed to older

versions will find their way

around the new version with

no trouble.

The changes are in the

details:

• Addition of "Smart GUI" for

inexperienced users

• Second icon-based navi-

gation bar on the right side

of the screen for fast,

direct access to other

menu levels

• To prevent confusion

during frequent changes

between different main

menus, the machine

always returns to the last

view visited

• Comprehensive and pow-

erful assistants for user-

guided programming of

pickup positions, compo-

nents shapes and place-

ment positions.

• Operator Guidance": In

the event of an errors, the

user is guided to the

required menu item.

• Quick, direct access to

Vision data

SIPLACE Smart GUI

One of the most important

new features is the SIPLACE

Smart GUI. This is designed

to help inexperienced users

familiarize themselves with

the software quickly and eas-

ily. In normal mode, the

machine will only show the

basic information needed:

• Product/recipe name

• Setup code

• Number of boards already

produced

Animation videos as

advanced assistants

In the event of a fault, the

machine shows the user

illustrations of the possible

cause of the problem, provid-

ing a selection of one to four

animated videos, depending

on the problem. These guide

the user step-by-step

through the troubleshooting

process. The animation can

be stopped whenever

needed and repeated either

in part or as a whole.

These "video assistants"

have been designed so that

the Smart GUI usually covers

over 95% of all malfunctions

which could occur during

normal operation.

Simple user guidance and

fast direct access

The SIPLACE station soft-

ware GUI therefore provides

"the best of both worlds":

simple user guidance, ideal

for new users, and direct

access to all the "bits and

bytes" for experts.

Users can switch over

between the Smart GUI and

the existing "Expert GUI"

whenever needed and with

no delay, using a soft button

always shown in the station

software main menu. If need

be, access to key parame-

ters can be managed via

passwords.

The new SIPLACE station

software not only actively

manages quick and reliable

troubleshooting but also

offers a great way to intro-

duce new users more quickly

to advanced tasks without

overchallenging them in the

beginning.

SIPLACE software suite

SIPLACE Random Setup

simplifies the configuration of

setups in the pre-setup area

and the definition of setup

changeovers in the SIPLACE

line. In contrast to existing

setup procedures, in which

the feeder modules and com-

ponents need to be config-

ured exactly on the

prescribed tracks of a

changeover table, Random

Setup allows you to config-

ure feeders and components

on any tracks of any change-

over tables in the line.

This concept is based on the

interrelationship between a

clear assignment of compo-

nents to feeder modules and

the "intelligent" Random

Setup software.

SIPLACE Random Setup

improves the productivity

especially in the following

production conditions:

• Low volume production

with high mix and frequent

product changes

• Production with many new

product introductions

(NPI) or urgent projects

• Production with high flexi-

bility and rapid product

change requirements

Benefits for the customer

SIPLACE Random Setup

offers the customer many

benefits. For example, you

no longer need to sort your

components by table or

track, making it much quicker

to configure components in

the pre-setup area. Feeder

modules can now be set up

on any tracks of a change-

over table and in any loca-

tions of a specific line.

Spare tracks can also be

added without editing the

setup. Configuration of spare

tracks during ongoing pro-

duction is supported from

this version of SIPLACE

Random Setup.

In Split Table Mode, you

can prepare a new setup at

the machine, while the line

continues production. This

Floating Changeover Strat-

egy reduces line downtime.

Another benefit is the

reduced investment costs as

no additional changeover

trolleys are needed to

change the setup. You sim-

ply change over the feeder

modules on the tables.
