SIPLACE Random Setup

SET UP YOUR LINE MORE QUICKLY AND EASILY

In today's electronics production,

small lot sizes and frequent

product changeovers have long

become standard operating

procedure. That's why efficient

setup processes are so important.

Innovative setup concepts in

combination with SIPLACE

Random Setup offer electronics

producers maximum flexibility by

significantly simplifying and

accelerating the setup processes.

In SMT production, many factors affect the quality

and productivity of the placement process, with

error-free setups being one of them. Particularly in

factories with frequent product changeovers and

small lot sizes, having a flexible setup concept is

critically important for running an efficient

production line.

With its Random Setup, SIPLACE is making setup

changeovers a lot easier: operators can now place

component feeders anywhere on the feeder table

and are no longer restricted to specific slots.

In addition, the same component can be set up

twice for much easier refills: when the first track

runs empty, the SIPLACE machine automatically

switches to the second track.

With SIPLACE Random Setup, the operator can

place the intelligent SIPLACE X-feeders in any

open slot on the line or on the feeder cart – without

having to stop the line.

SIPLACE Random Setup

The SIPLACE machine recognizes the new feeders

automatically based on their unique IDs. If the

components and feeders were previously “kitted” by

scanning their respective barcodes, the placement

machine also receives all the necessary

component-related information and adjusts its

placement process accordingly. That way, floating

setup changeovers become possible, and

components can be set up on a second track

(SIPLACE Alternative Track). The SIPLACE X-

feeders even signal via their LEDs whether they will

still be needed in one of the next setups.

In addition, SIPLACE Setup Center makes it

possible to monitor the feeders' fill levels. If a feeder

is about to run empty, the station software and the

SIPLACE X-feeder LEDs signal this and prevent

expensive line stops because of missing

components.

The setup preparation department benefits from

SIPLACE Random Setup as well: At the click of a

button, operators can generate a so-called delta

setup, which highlights only those components for

the next job which are not already installed on the

line.

If the setup changeovers are executed with feeder

carts, Random Setup speeds up this procedure,

too, because the components can be set up

anywhere on the table before it gets docked on the

machine. This eliminates the need to sort the

material.

Your benefits:

 Random Setup enables electronics

manufacturers who have to deal with small lots,

frequent product changeovers or lots of

prototypes to increase the total productivity of

their SMT lines by minimizing their setup times

and their total throughput times.

 SIPLACE Random Setup also reduces the

feeder and feeder cart inventory in most cases,

thus reducing your asset base and improving

your capital position.

 SIPLACE Random setup lets you set up

components on alternative tracks to avoid

components from running out.

Technical Data

SIPLACE Setup Center comprises

the following components and

subsystems:

• Setup Center GUI (client)

• Setup Center database (server)

• Datalogic 1D/2D wireless barcode scanner or

Symbol PDA MC70 with WLAN and scanner

• Multiple Setup Center GUIs (for example, one per line) can be linked to a single central

Setup Center database. Depending on your needs, you can connect multiple wireless

scanners to the system.
