Assembléon to Show its New ‘Smart Solutions’ at APEX 2010

Royal Philips Electronics subsidiary Assembléon announces that it is showing more ‘Smart Solutions’ at Apex 2010 (April 6 to 8) to be held in Las Vegas, USA. Several initiatives are aimed at helping customers to improve business perfomance and reduce SMT production costs.

Examples include the MC-24X – an extension to the company’s end of line solutions for high volume and high mix production lines. In addition, there is a new all-in-one solution for small and medium batch sizes with a high product mix: the MG-5 with its new thin 8 mm feeders that is said to allow 30 percent more feeders on the same floorspace.

Also on display is Assembléon’s MCP screen printer and A-Series pick-and-place machines. According to Leo van de Vall, Assembléon’s CEO in the US, Assembléon’s True Capacity on Demand initiative on its A-Series saves equipment assemblers 20 percent on initial capital costs, with the A-Series also saving on running costs by having half the energy consumption of competing machines. "Our unique parallel placement technique has established itself as the industry benchmark for best placement quality at high output” said van de Vall.
