Example of the performance analysis solution

The pick and place machine creates, while running, performance data. To under-

stand how the machine is running performance data is exported in an orderly

standardized method. The data is exported in real time so as events occur on the

machine they are exported. This makes it possible to create an application to

monitor the machine performance on remote locations. The product is supported

by an extensive description of the data and the connection method. The product

also includes some sample programs that describe how to connect to the

machine performance data.

The performance data contains:

machine status

board-count

component consumption

PPM-levels

error-events

To get support from (remote) specialists a connection can be built via broadband

internet connection. The connection enables to operate all functions remotely, to

up- and download files and log information to and from the AX.

PPS-Pro Graphical User Interface

CAD Conversion and machine program creation are two of the most important

steps to bring a new product into production. Maximized output combined with

maximum flexibility doing it the first time right is what counts. Assembleon offers

two different NPI products: PPS-Pro and eM-Assembly Expert. Both packages gen-

erate optimized placement programs for any configuration. They accept CAD and

BOM files and rapidly translate them into fully verified, machine ready programs.

Features of PPS-Pro

Generation and optimization of placement programs for any configuration of AX

and AQ-2

Fully integrated line balancer

Support of most formats, build either in column and text converters or by

optional dedicated CAD converters. PPS-Pro accepts FTIP, GenCAD, column

oriented files and optional 3D CAD formats (Mentor, PCAD etc.)

Supports the import of BOM files

Provide accurate production times (within 5% of reality)

Includes complete component database, supporting most used packages

including definition for nozzles, feeders, vision files and other machine specific

data (Tested and verified by Assembléon) as well as pre-configured Assembléon

machines for a fast start

Supports family optimization

Generation of set-up reports and other operator instructions

Optional support for 3rd party machines

A powerful Graphical User Interface (GUI) visualizes each process step of the

production preparation. Providing help to detect missing information before

information is brought to the placement systems

Full graphical edition of board data which allows the user to enter missing

product data and manufacturing related features such as fiducials, board and

panel outlines, image offsets and mechanical parts. Support for multiple level

badmarks and circuit arrangements

Ability to manage the factory configuration management using the familiar

Explorer view to manage factory, machines, line configurations and tooling

inventory

Can be used to calculate "what-if" analysis with user configured line models.

Export to SVS-Pro provides offline feeder set-up ready for the next production

batch

Besides the features above, eM-Assembly Expert offers some more:

Iterative line balancer for fully automatic balancing by repetively

considering cycle time

Network or PC-locked licensing mechanism

PPS-Pro System requirements

The PPS-Pro software is NOT delivered with a computer. Assembléon advises the

following configuration:

Hardware

Minimum Pentium IV or better, > 2.4 GHz

512 Mb internal memory, 3.5" disk + CD-ROM drive

Free hard disk space 1Gb

Monitor and video card that support at least 800x600x256

Software

Windows XP

The AX is configurable in output using two different placement robots. The specifi-

cations on placement output are based on four different configurations for the

AX Platform using either only standard placement robots, only compact placement

robots or a combination of both.

The output is based on the test procedure of IPC9850 whereby is specified the

type of board used, its size & thickness, the amount of components to be placed

and each placement location.

The IPC9850 specifies also that the accuracy data is linked with the speed per-

formance data. The IPC9850 is developed to provide a transparent comparison

methodology for speed and accuracy specifications between different Vendors.

SPR = Standard placement robot, CPR = Compact placement robot

For the AX Platform the following output figures can be achieved with an ideal

application.
