hot-swappable — they can be installed and removed without having to stop the line — new setups can be installed while the previous product is still running. All of this reduces kitting time, accelerates changeovers and increases overall production effi- ciency. High-mix plants can even oper-
ate with Random Setup: the opera- tors can place the SIPLACE X-feed- ers for upcoming products in any available slot on the line. Each SIPLACE X-feeder registers itself and the components it contains on the machine via its unique ID, the feeder can be placed anywhere on the line because the software recog- nizes the feeder, and the Multistar Placement head has such a huge component range and speed that it is always able to pick the part.

worry, because the placement program handles all the placement mode changes. Another benefit is the fact that manufacturers can keep fewer heads in stock. And when there is only one head model to

worry about, investment and maintenance costs drop as well.
True Feeder Anywhere The setup processes benefit, too: On lines
with many special heads, traditional feeder-any- where concepts quickly hit their limitations. After all, no high-speed head can handle large compo- nents. The SIPLACE MultiStar functions differ- ently: it can place a 01005 component directly or large BGA, because it can automatically switch its placement mode. This means that the operator can place a feeder anywhere on the line, no matter how big or small a part it contains.

The Multistar placement head has a huge component range and speed.
This feature makes the new
approach perfectly clear: The opera- tor no longer follows the machine’s instructions, but the machine adapts to the needs of the operator and the company.
Versatile Placement Heads Nowhere is the paradigm change
towards production flexibility more apparent than in placement head technology. The new SIPLACE Multi - Star is the prime example. While tra- ditional machine concepts are based on large numbers of special heads designed for narrow component ranges, ASM Assembly Systems has taken a totally new approach: Driven by software, the SIPLACE MultiStar switches for each placement cycle between three different placement modes depending on the respective requirements: collect-and-place, pick- and-place, and a special mixed mode. This makes it the first head that can handle components ranging in size from 01005 to 50 x 40mm, but still run at speeds up to 24,000 cph. The benefit for electronics man-
ufacturers: the line configuration and/or the placement heads must rarely be changed when the product changes. Oper ators don’t need to
