Features/Benefits

High Precision, Multi-Functional Production Cell
Cartesian positioning systems with a large available component matrix including assembly heads, dispense pumps, vision systems and all the modules needed to perform precision automation processes.

Distributed control system for synchronized motion, I/O and vision control with a PC based user interface.

Powerful and user friendly VisualMachines^TM application software.

Production cell for complete dispense, pick and place and joining processes. Aluminum casting structure with wear free Cartesian X & Y axes mechanism, precision linear encoders and linear motors.

Mechanical Structure Containing:
• Aluminum casting structure of the X/Y system,

mounted on a stable steel plate.

• Wear free Cartesian X and Y axes mechanism

with X/Y linear encoders and linear motors.

• Distributed but synchronized closed loop motion

control system for the X, Y and the head axes.

True circles or any given profiles can be moved

with the synchronized axes. Profiles can be
imported based on CAD data.

• Distributed control system for closed loop motion,

vision, force, temperature, gas flow and IO
control, all included in the base and in the heads.

• Supports optional transport systems or board
conveyor systems

• Supports optional Feeder bank with tape, stick or
any odd component feeders.

Control & Application Software
VisualMachines^TM Software is designed to put the focus on the application, not the programming. It is an object oriented, modular software environment that enables rapid implementations of complex motion, vision and process control programs. The software uses drag and drop VisualWires to allow easy application specific changes.

Principal VIEWS provide direct access to the main functions: Execution, Programming, Calibration, Maintenance and Configuration. Part and Part type databases allow storing data which can be used throughout multiple programs or recipes. Easy

machine IO configuration by dragging and dropping
VisualWires. Wizard guided program or recipes creation.

Full flexibility of arranging processes by drag and drop in order to create custom process sequences without any limits.

VisualMachines^TM includes true geometric object location vision software, which is not a variance of grey-scale correlation techniques. Free form objects and features are handled. No frame grabber board is required.

Additional Available Peripherals
Up and down looking, or split field based vision systems are available in different Field of View configurations. Adjustable zoom and focus functions, always with fully automatic camera calibrations. Up-looking cameras can be used to inspect objects mounted at the vacuum nozzle of the Z-axis. Down-looking cameras can be used to inspect objects on

application plate level. The intensity of the illumination, coaxial, side or ring light can be
process specific controlled to provide excellent contrast of the objects. Digital monochrome or
any color camera with different pixel sizes can
be integrated and configured application specific.
