Panasonic Robot & Welding System Solutions presents the Virtual Robot Programming System (VPRS). This solution enables even unskilled robot operators to execute welding robot programming efficiently. The VRPS uses a digital twin of the welding robot that follows the movements of the manually guided torch model. Movements and welding tasks are defined on the real workpiece with the torch model, the virtual sequence is then transferred to the robot controller to be repeated by the robot. Two key benefits render the VPRS a great tool to improve your production:

• robot operators do not require years of experience, knowledge, or skill to program the robot

• the robot programming time is reduced drastically by simply using virtual reality on the actual workpiece.

Unit Level Manufacturing by the synchro-motion of dispensing and bondingThe MD-P200's die bonding is carried out immediately after epoxy dispensing, thereby making it possible to finish the bonding operation before the epoxy has deteriorated. This realizes stable and high quality bonding at all bond positions on a substrate. In addition, the bonding stage camera enables pre-bonding inspection immediately after epoxy dispensing and post-bonding control immediately after the bonding of a die. This process enables manufacturing with real-time quality inspection.User-friendly operationA large touch panel and interactive software realize an easy and reliable operating environment for all users from beginners to experts.

The Stencil Printer SPV-DC enables high efficiency dual lane production in a compact design. The printer is designed for high speed production without changeovers. To reduce running costs the SPV-DC is equipped with the award-winning paperless cleaning function. Solder paste can refill automatically. Solder mask and the final printing result can be verified with an internal inspection. With the machine-to-machine-communication option the SPV-DC is using correction data to correct positional printing errors. The high-speed printer SPV-DC can print on board sizes from 50 x 50mm to 350 x 300mm. With the dual lanes the printer provides a cycle time of 13s, including transfer, positioning, recognition, high-precision printing and respective cleaning. Due to the non-stop changeover, the SPV-DC allows you to prepare the next production while running the printing process.

Mounting feed-forward function Components can be placed correctly based on the solder printing position. Placement skip data feed-forward/Block recognition data feed-forward Placement machine recognition time reduction based on feed-forward discrepancy data. Misplacement of components using a modular placement machine can be prevented based on feed-forward solder/land* printing defect block data.*When inspecting lands on which package components are placed using flux epoxy. Printing position data feedback The solder printing position misalignment is measured by the inspection machine. The positioning correction is transferred by means of feedback to the screen printer. The solder printing area is measured by the inspection equipment. The stencil cleaning direction can be compared with the reference value by means of feedback.

The Panasonic UA3P profilometer series is designed to measure aspherical lenses & molds, freeform optics, mirrors and any other precision component requiring nanometer level accuracy ranging up to 200mm x 200mm. Different machine models are available to meet your optical & high aspect ratio metrology needs.

The UA3P-300, UA3P-4 and UA3P-5 all offer users the accuracy of AFM technology with the measurement range of a CMM. Our unique approach uses atomic force probe technology in the stylus and HeNe laser-based interferometric XYZ axis positioning.

Couple this technology with a solid granite-base and you have a robust metrology system that can be used on the factory floor and still deliver 0.1um level total uncertainty.

Typical use-cases for PGMA to guide & enhance are: Manual THT insertionManual mechanical assemblySemiautomatic screw & nut mounting with and without torque controlManual visual inspectionSemiautomatic testing and/or measurementManual product packing and labelling incl. weight control (optional)Training for any manual assembly & activityThe ROI (return of invest) period for PGMA implementation is typically much less than one year due to reduction of failures and mistakes, speeding up the assembly process and finally increase of user‘s motivation.

FeaturesThe line management system NPM-DGS provides various features, like the Multi-CAD import, tact simulations, a component library of all pick and place machines, displaying of placement and inspection head data on the display during operation, production data optimization and an optional off-line component data creation to make the work preparation as easy as possible, by guaranteeing an improved and more efficient placement process. NPM-DGS offers to create off-line component data and improves productivity and the data generation workflow. A parts library for the entire shop floor can be centrally managed. With simulations the total operating rate of the production line can be checked. With the MJS-function the feeder replacement can be reduced. The PPD/LWS Editor helps to quickly and easily edit the production data. Multi-CAD importMost CAD data formats can be imported through macro definitions. A polarity check in performed in advance. Optional off-line component data creationDGS works with any flatbed scannerand offers the ability  to create off-line component data or with the NPM off-line camera unit to improve productivity and  quality of the data generation workflow Component library A parts library for all placement equipment in the entire shop floor can be centrally managed, even including data from the CM series. SimulationCheck the tact simulation in advance on the screen and improve the total operating rate of the line. Mix Job Setter (MJS)A common feeder arrangement is advantageous when manufacturing multiple different products, since the reduction in feeder replacement time increases productivity. PPD/LWS EditorReduce loss times by quickly and easily editing the production data of the placement and inspection heads on the PC screen during production.

With the help of AC Servo Motors the functionality of positioners can be increased and furthermore additional applications are possible. A flexible solution from Panasonic! The AC-Servo Motors are free programmable and help improve synchronism with robots, enables smoother movement, and enhances productivity.
