FeaturesThe revolutionary integrated  line  management  system  is  the basis for  controlling the  entire  production line. It  is  not limited  to  Panasonic machines but  also  integrates  third-party  equipment such as PCB transfer systems, laser markers, AOI, SPI and ovens. Conventional systems require a number of PCs to control different machine types from different suppliers. The iLNB controls the entire line with only one PC.  iLNB  significantly improves overall  productivity.  Production  data  and  production  changeover  of  all equipment, such as Panasonic’s placement machines as well as non-Panasonic machines including AOI, SPI, reflow  ovens  and  others,  can  be  controlled.  All  collected  data  are  transferred  to  a remote central computer. Small  errors such  as pick-up  errors  can  be recovered from  that  central  point.  Automatic production changeover is also possible. With the iLNB, users can manage automatic product changeovers and have an E-Link which provides an interface for information input and output, for machine control, management of components per feeder, and communication with a GEM/PLC. iLNB provides total control of the production line by interfacing between Panasonic and non-Panasonic machines, acting as one-stop channel. With the iLNB Users can manage automatic product changeovers and have an E-Link which provides an interface for information in- and output, for machine control, management of component per feeder and a communication to GEM/PLC. Automatic changeover Registration of automatic changeover recipeLine automatic changeoverAutomatic changeover monitoringLine operation monitoringE-Link interface for Information inputDownload / edit of scheduleE-Link interface for Information outputOperational information outputTrace information outputMachine status outputE-Link interface for machine controlMachine interlock; production start controlE-Link interface for feeder writeWriting of component data by an external systemCommunications to GEM/PLCSECS2/GEM communicationOPC communicationIO/RS-232C communication

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

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

Featuressmart-factory-solutions software panacim-logo-02PanaCIM-EE Gen2 is the next generation of PanaCIM-EE, which allows for more efficient electronics manufacturing. This digital planning tool is necessary to enable reliable data management. 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. In addition, data from reports and management are included in the planning. This allows higher production rates and shorter cycle times to be achieved to make electronics production even more efficient and reliable. The PanaCIM-EE Gen2 is the next generation of a smart factory solution, connecting the shop floor with overall the management system. This includes precise inventory management, maximized factory performance based on a continuous production, total traceability, real time monitoring and optimization and an accurate in-time material supply. Material verificationMaterial controlTraceabilityProduction monitoring/dispatchProduction analysisMaintenanceEnterprise link

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.
