The NPM-DX provides a greater line throughput, better quality and lower production cost featuring an autonomous line control, which guaranties a stable operation based on automatic functionality. This functionality in combination with the machine set up offers a labor-saving production with improved utilization. In combination with the Panasonic software environment and embedded into an Industry 4.0 philosophy, the user can expect a modern shop floor management system including various remote operation options, feeder setup navigation, component supply navigation etc. In total, the NPM-DX reduces downtimes and increase the line throughput. With 92 400 cph and a feeder capacity for up to 136 reels, the NPM-DX is the ideal solution to meet the expectation of an evolving electronics assembly industry. The NPM-DX can process PCB sizes of up to 510 x 590 mm and place large connectors (up to 150 x 25mm) and other components (up to 120 x 90mm). This and other features make the NPM-DX the best solution for high volume-mix manufacturing.

The AM100 meets the high standards of reliability, capacity and flexibility that customers look forward to in a cost-efficient, gradationally scalable, high-mix SMT solution. It only takes one machine to start off production and extra units and/or technologies can be easily integrated according to requirements. The single-head (single beam) of Panasonic's AM100 modular placement machine is able to place an impressive component array including: 0402 mm to 120 x 90 x 2 8mm, odd-shaped components, large connectors, as well as advanced packaging types e.g.Features The single solution AM100 provides high net productivity and versatility. Equipped with a 14-nozzle head and 160 feeders the AM100 can place an impressive component range. On top the non-stop changeover allows you to prepare the next product process during running production. An off-line setup support station and a feeder set-up navigator option improves operating time and minimizes the downtime.

Supplied with a 40 or 80 component feeder with optional jumper wire, the compact supply unit configuration of the AV132 can fit both ammo pack and reel. The dual partition configuration enables a fast changeover. The next job can be set up while the current one is being processed.Capable of inserting components in four directions: 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, the AV132 optimizes productivity by simultaneously handling 26 and 52mm taped components and providing fast, full auto-recovery. The AV132 can reduce loading times by running two PCBs simultaneously, enabling efficient production due to a speed of 0.12s/component and a transfer speed of 2s/PCB.The fixed feeder unit and the out-of-component detection feature allow to replenish components while maintaining long-term non-stop runs.Preparation in advance or equipment operation during component change-over is possible.

Designed to measure aspherical lenses & molds, freeform optics, mirrors and any other precision component requiring nanometer level accuracy.

Featuressmart-factory-solutions software panacim-logo-02In order to make electronics manufacturing more efficient, digital planning tools and reliable data management are becoming increasingly important. This applies not only to individual systems, but to entire production lines, in which the data of each individual machine is included in the analysis. To achieve this, Panasonic developed the line management system PanaCIM-EE. With PanaCIM-EE, higher production rates and reduced cycle times can be achieved to make electronics production even more efficient and reliable. The PanaCIM-EE provides an integrated management of an entire SMT floor and achieves enhanced quality, reduced costs and increased floor productivity. This includes 8 functions, like traceability, production analysis plus monitoring and dispatching, material control and verification, maintenance management and the handling of production changeovers, linked to the customer system.

The NPM-DGS data creation system is the integral solution for creating, editing and simulating production and library data for high productivity.

The NPM-WX  represents the  next  generation  of  Panasonic’s  mounting  production  concept “Smart manufacturing”. The platform represents higher  line  throughput  and  improved  quality  at  lower cost  thanks  to  integrated  automated  systems.  APC  system  and  automatic  recovery  are  integrated  to provide autonomous line control.  The  incorporated  floor-management system and  remote-operation option  improve  utilisation  combined  with  lower  labour  costs.  Feeder  set-up  and  component supply  navigation  systems  are available, helping  to  reduce  the  work  variations. The  NPM-WX  can  handle  a  wide variety  of  components, from  0402  chip  components  up  to  large  components with  a max. size  of 150x25x40 mm.  Parts can be supplied from  tape,  stick or tray-feeder . Feeder-cart  flexibility can be provided by selecting the existing 30-input feeder cart or inserting two 17-input feeder carts. 4 different types of placement heads are available. Max. placement speed is 86,000 cph with a placement accuracy of +/-25 μm. Thanks  to  NPM-WX’s  integrated  systems,  component  diversity  and  available  options,  it  represents  the perfect solution for automated SMT production for all kinds of product. The machine is fully compatible with  other  NPM-systems  and can  therefore  also be fully integrated into  existing  production  lines. Connection  and  control  via  Panasonics  iLNB  is  ensured  to provide full  control  of  production  and  required management data. This platform is also available as a single-beam solution: NPM-WXS single beam allows various operations ranging, from NPM-series backup to multiple connection configuration.

Higher productivity and quality thanks to the integration of printing, placement and inspection processes make the NPM-W2 one of the most flexible and versatile pick-and-place solutions on the market.

This machine provides the user with a tool that allows him to choose between high speed or high accuracy, depending on the PCB requirements.

In addition, the NPM-W2 is optimised for larger boards and larger components, such as PCBs up to 750 x 550 mm and components up to 150 x 25 x 30 mm (L,W,H). For high productivity, dual lanes can be used.

Features

The multifunctional NPM-W2 is equipped with a 16-nozzle head and can place 42,000 components. 120 feeders can be mounted.

Additionally, the NPM-W2 can automatically inspect solder depots and components according to the production data.

As a third function, the NPM can be fitted with the conventional HDF discharge mechanism, which ensures high-quality non-contact dispensing with a screw valve-dispenser.
