Products - Smart Factory

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.

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.

Automation / Labor-saving Solution + Intelligent system solution to achieve manufacturing that is further in line with production plan

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.

PGMA - Panasonic Guided Manual Assembly helps to enhance manual assembly.

Panasonic’s manufacturing operations optimizer automatically draws up production plans to reduce man-hours and enhancing production efficiency.

The RG 131 is the successor of the RHSG. By supporting 3/4 pitches, expanding the range of board sizes and increasing component insertion rate, this high-density radial component insertion machine increases productivity. High speed insertion at a rate of between 0.25s and 0.6s per component can be achieved, even for large-size components with 3-pitch (2.5mm/5.0mm/7.5mm) or 4-pitch (2.5mm/5.0mm/7.5mm/10.0mm) configurations. A comprehensive self-correction function ensures high reliability. With large numbers of component supply and dual-partitioned component supply units, long-term operation can be obtained. A total of up to 80 types of components can be mounted. With large numbers of component supply and dual-partitioned component supply units, long-term operation can be achieved easily with the RG131. A total of up to 80 types of components can be mounted, with up to 32 (16 + 16) types of large components. The two separate component supply units enable components to be exchanged and replenished during operation. Panasonic offers also the RG131-S platform version with smaller footprint. Higher productivity expanding board size range and increasing component input.

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.
