Assembléon launched its new iFlex system at last year’s Productronica exhibition in Munich.
iFlex is a complete, intelligent and flexible SMT solution for electronics manufacturers, designed to increase productivity in high product mix environments. It uses Assembléon’s unique single-pick/single-place technology, giving high first pass yield production levels with defect levels of less than 10 DPM.
The modular iFlex is easy to install and is supported by smart software tools which make it easy to program without hardware reconfiguration. Featuring dual transport lanes, dual sided feeding, internal buffer positions and feeder and trolley exchanges during production, the system ensures high throughput. Assembléon’s ‘independent dual lane’ concept allows manufacturers to produce in volume on one lane, while frequently and independently changing jobs on the second.
With three modules, iFlex can be configured to tailor assembly lines – from one to more than eight modules – for specific production needs:
* iFlex T4 suits chip and small IC shooting (four placement robots, placement speed of 51 000 cph, 128 twin tape feeder positions).
* iFlex T2 is aimed at flexible placements (two placement robots, placement speeds of 24 000 cph, 128 twin tape feeder positions).
* iFlex H1 is for ICs and fine pitch placements (one placement robot, placement speed of 7 100 cph, max 146 twin tape feeder positions/max 30 tray positions).
iFlex is a complete pick and place solution supported by Mentor Graphics’ Valor software suites (both NPI and MES). These help plan, prepare and test the PCB assembly before production starts and control the actual assembly process from beginning to end, including detailed traceability data.
