Nozzle Health Care checks SMT placement machine nozzle health after cleaning or periodically as determined by user. Examines outside of nozzle dirt or foreign objects, and checks functionality, including clogging, center correction, and O-ring health. Automatically self-diagnoses nozzle appearance and functionality, and replaces faulty or flagged nozzles with spare ones without interrupting production.

Maintenance Monitor simplifies maintenance by helping the operator implement a maintenance plan, all guided by a simple-to-follow Maintenance Monitor interface. Monitors a number of functions, and alerts when periodic maintenance is required. Shows when future maintenance tasks are due, and provides a chronological log of previous maintenance actions completed. Helps plan detailed, customized maintenance routine for the machine in its unique production environment.

e-Vision helps operator fine-tune machine performance, enabling operators to perform optimization functions including automatic algorithm selection, automated part size measurement, and auto part tuning. Permits the machine to measure part parameters automatically, rather than manually by the operator, speeding setup, improving placement performance, and minimizing part dumping.

New Grouping Optimization optimizes planned production for a shift, providing such information as estimations for run times and changeover, along with the most efficient setup to minimize setup of feeders and exchange carts. Makes decisions for multiple products in one setup to maximize line productivity by minimizing changeover requirements. Based on commonality of components, reflow profile, and combining top and bottom requirements, engineers then set their own priority and classification to define the individual groups. Reduces feeder setup and changeover time, resulting in higher machine utilization and efficiency.
