New and Modified Functions (V7.1)

5.18 SiCluster Professional (Constant Tables)

With the new SiCluster Professional Optimizer Toolkit we offer additional optimizing possibilities.

SiCluster Professional calculates several family setups for an amount of PCBs or recipes in a line

that use equally set-up, i. e. constant, tables. One or more tables can be used unchanged in all

setups at the same location. You can select the locations in the line where the tables are to be

constant. A license is required to use this function.

Start SIPLACE Pro Optimizer Toolkit => SiCluster Professional.

SiCluster Professional is of use to you due to:

● reduced effort during pre-setup

● less table changes during setup changes on the line

● reduced effort for setup verification

● reduced effort for component storage and retrieval

SiCluster Professional saves costs due to:

● reduced number of changeover tables and feeders

● less components that are integrated in setups

● less component losses caused by setup changes

● less floor space required for storing the changeover tables

SIPLACE Pro Feature Description Ausgabe 05/2014 Edition

You can use changeover tables and feeders that become available on other lines. Thus, less

additional equipment is required when investing in a new line.

You can use SiCluster Professional for all SIPLACE placement machines on all lines. Its use is not

only restricted to the latest machine generation.

5.18.1 Setting Options

In SiCluster Professional, you can set the focus that is of special importance to you: You can either

focus on the minimum number of setup families or the highest possible line performance, or

you choose a compromise between both.

A basic criterion for SiCluster Professional is the ideal cycle time that is determined during an

optimization phase. The ideal cycle time is determined during the initialization phase of the

SiCluster Professional optimization. Here, the recipes are optimized separately. Defined inclusive

groups, e. g. for top and bottom sides of PCBs, are optimized together.

You achieve new setting options by determining the extent to which the constant and the free

tables may be set up (max. Fill Level [%]). In addition, you can set the run time of the individual

optimization phases. Here, we have already determined useful pre-settings for you.

The SiCluster Professional GUI supports you during parallel optimization. Thus and with the aid of

your multi core processors, you can achieve a better solution even faster. You can carry out

computing time intensive tasks in the background without being slowed down.

5.18.2 Evaluation and Comparision Functions

The Determine commonality of components supplies precious information on your recipe stating

which components exist and the frequency of their ocurrence. In addition, you can have individual

components be explicitly set up on constant tables, if you do not want to have this decision made

by the algorithm alone.

The calculated optimization results are presented in a table and in a graphic, so that you can

quickly compare the results and determine the best variant. The Setup Analysis allows for a

detailed inspection of the calculated results.

The quality of an optimization result also depends of course on the number of feeders and tables

used: The statistics function Feeder Usage prepares the necessary evaluation data for you. Thus,

you can promptly decide on an optimum solution.

SiCluster Professional provides all calculated data via the Windows clipboard for further processing

(e. g. copying and pasting into Microsoft Excel).

5.18.3 Note on Licensing

SiCluster Professional is offered as a licensed option for which you always need a factory license

and additional line licenses – according to the number of lines on which you want to use constant

tables.

5.19 The SiCluster Optimization Tool (Option)

In SIPLACE Pro 7.1 the existing Cluster Job Wizard is replaced by the SiCluster optimization

tool. A license is required to use these functions.

Start SIPLACE Pro Optimizer Toolkit => SiCluster.

SiCluster is an optimization tool with a reduced scope of functions compared to SiCluster

Professional. In SiCluster it is not possible to optimize constant tables when creating setups.

With SiCluster you generate a cluster job instead of a job. In doing so, the PCBs are distributed to

several (as few as possible!) setups, taking all side conditions into account. If it is your task to

determine the smallest number of setups for your products to be produced, you use the SiCluster

optimization tool.

Refer to the online help of the SIPLACE Pro Optimizer Toolkit for more detailed information.

5.20 Setting the Specific Feeder Pitch

In the component, the component shape or the setup, it is now possible to set a feeder specific

value for the Feeder Pitch. That means that the Feeder Pitch for component shape or component

can be set differently for each assigned feeder. In addition, the Feeder Pitch can now be changed

in the setup without having to change the values in the component editor or the component shape

editor.

The feeder pitches that are allowed for the feeder are presented in a list. If other values or zero is

being entered, this is indicated by an appropriate icon.
