7.12.2 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

Two conveyor belts carry empty or placed PCBs underneath the machines (see Fig. 7.12 - 1).

Horizontal/vertical lift (horizontal/vertical shuttle)

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.

7.12.3 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. 7.12 - 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 plac-

ing 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.

7.13 SIEMENS interface

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.

You can order this cable as an option with the retrofit instructions.

7.14 "Long board" option

The following PCB formats can be placed on the HF series of machines:

We can supply the "Long board" option as a retrofit kit for placing PCBs that are over 450 mm long.

If the "Long board" option is installed, then the following PCB formats can be processed:

The retrofit kit consists of the following parts:

– Complete mechanism: stopper, sensors, cables and assembly parts

– Optional CD for enabling the function on the SIPLACE Pro computer
