The fastest way from CAD data
to first products
Lean manufacturing benefits from fast ramp-up of new applications. The Assembléon X-Series provides this.
The X-Series modules (Opal-XII, Topaz-XII and Emerald-XII) complement each other to deliver a cost-effective, Pick & Place platform for low-
to medium-volume manufacturing at up to 20 000 components per hour (cph). Machines are easily optimized for high feeder count, and
large boards – you simply mix and match modules to suit.

If you need to develop and produce new applications quickly, the X-Series speeds up the route from CAD data to first products. New jobs
can be set up offline or on the machine. And once programs are optimized, data is centrally stored to guarantee the correct program and
vision information is loaded each time.
Performance guaranteed
Assembléon’s X-Series placement modules need little introduction in the world of surface-mount assembly.

Our top-of-the-range Topaz model has been in production for nearly a decade, having gone through several developments during that time
to keep it at the leading edge of surface-mount Pick & Place solutions. Electronics manufacturers throughout the world look upon the
Topaz as the workhorse of the electronics assembly industry, impressed by its affordability, reliability, speed and outstanding quality of
placement. An installed base of more than 7000 systems worldwide provides proof of the confidence manufacturers have in the
performance of the Topaz and in its ability to keep their production lines running 24/7, year-in, year-out.

The latest version, the Topaz-XII has an output of up to 20 000 components per hour with a chip-placement accuracy of 50 µm and a
standard board size of 460 x 440 mm. The even more affordable Opal-XII is basically a scaled-down version of the Topaz-XII with slightly
lower component output but with the same placement accuracy and board size. Both systems place everything from 01005 components
to large CSPs, Flip Chips, BGAs and fine pitch QFPs. And for non-standard components, you can choose the Emerald-XII, designed to
handle odd-shaped components up to 20 mm tall.

Process support

The AMS software suite supports the SMT manufacturing processes shown in the figure above. In each process, one or more of the
modules can be applied to optimize performance.

1 Data preparation – creating vision files, carrying out data conversion and verifying components offline to save production time
2 Production scheduling – scheduling single machines and balancing complete lines to increase operational efficiency, minimize
changeovers
3 Setup verification – supporting verification of online and offline closed-loop setups to save time and avoid placement errors
4 Line control – providing remote line monitoring operation to enable a ‘single-click product changeover’
5 Parts library management – placement program and component-related data management system, enabling efficient data
preparation and shorter Time-to-Volume
6 Traceability – tracking parameters like lot changes to improve quality control and to follow Work in Progress
7 Performance analysis – uploading performance analysis data to efficiency monitoring systems
8 Parts warehousing – reporting component usage and use of new reels to assist inventory control.

Flexible setup
Setup optimization

• Optimized feeder setup for multiple boards (common

setup)
• Eliminates changeover time because all feeders for
multiple boards are resident on machine(s)
• Optimize boards sequentially to reach common setup
for all boards or optimize boards together by first
combining CAD data of individual boards

Offline setup verification

• Verification of feeder setup:

- Scan barcode(s) on component reels
- Smart feeders automatically verify match between
component ID and corresponding feeder slot
• Gain real-time knowledge of component quantities
- Scan and store component quantities
- Track component usage in real time
- Print barcode representing remaining component quantity
for future reel use

Offline electrical component verification

•• Verifies components values electrically

Done offline to eliminate production impact
• Can verify R, C, & L components down to 0.01 pF
capacitor resolution

Offline vision preparation tool

•• Generate vision files offline while machine is running

In a dynamic manufacturing environment, production requirements will change continuously; IBS is our guarantee that your
machine park can be kept operating competitively at all times.

IBS offers an integrated solution that combines hardware, software, training, maintenance and application support to provide
continuous performance improvement and ongoing operational cost reduction:

• Maximizing performance continuously by:

− increasing line output and yield
− minimizing process changeover times
− accelerating production line ramp-ups — speeding up time-to-volume
− offering functionality upgrades and application support to enhance machine flexibility and extend component range.

• Minimizing ongoing operational costs by:

− preventive maintenance schemes
− customer training programs for efficient use and best practices
− a feeder maintenance program to increase availability and ensure optimum performance
− 24/7 availability of spare parts and replacement modules, to minimize downtime.

To meet all your needs, IBS services cover three distinct areas:

• Performance Services — maximize machine, line and process performance. We offer added value services, hardware
and software upgrades to help you optimize the output, functionality and flexibility of your production assets.

• Knowledge Services — reduce operating costs and boost staff efficiency. We provide training and support tools to
transfer knowledge and skills to your own people.

• Technical Services — maximize uptime and minimize cost of operation. We perform on-site and off-site servicing of your
lines, from maintaining machines effectively to improving changeover times.

Tailor-made solutions for either on-site or remote services can be drawn up with agreed performance parameters and process
guarantees. Performance levels are regularly reviewed for value and effectiveness.

In short, IBS is your passport to guaranteed manufacturing performance. And it’s implemented globally by highly skilled customer
service teams, available 24/7. These teams are always on-hand, living up to our promise: ‘Performance guaranteed’.
