Component mounter for high-mix manufacturing

11 October 2017 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Fuji Machine Mfg’s new AIMEX IIIc is a compact component mounter for high-mix production, with a width of 1280 mm and a length of 2346 mm. The machine boasts a very high number of loadable parts with up to 130 part supply positions. It also allows for the user to increase the loadable number approximately 1,5 times more by using HexaFeeders, offering flexible responses to variations in the quantity of supplied parts. Furthermore, using a DynaHead (DX) makes it possible for a single machine to support a wide range of part sizes from 0402 (01005”) to 74 x 74 mm parts.

This machine can be set with a coplanarity check function which detects defects on parts before placement, as well as the LCR check function. This enables users to build quality in the production process even for variable-mix, variable-volume production. Flexibility appears also in its wide production panel size range from 48 x 48 mm to 506 x 400 mm, and in its support of various panel types. 12” touchscreens improve the usability of the AIMEX IIIc, so that amping up production for new products and responding to errors can be handled quickly with on-machine editing.

Productivity with the high-speed head H24 provides a throughput of 37 000 cph in high productivity mode with a placing accuracy of ±38 m. This allows the AIMEX IIIc to have a high area productivity of 24 643 cph/m2. In addition, panels can be conveyed in 2,6 seconds with the buffer mechanism.
