A new version of Assembléon’s zero-defect set-up assistance software is said to simplify set-up of its SMD placement machines, particularly in applications where the production line is configured to process a multiplicity of smaller production batches.

Two new features are available for SVS-Pro supported machines and the feeder Loading Unit.  For board family set-up, the production preparation software uses ‘dummy’ feeders so that the set-up is identical during optimization of the various process programs of the family. The use of dummy feeders implies that in the set-up of a particular process program a part number is defined but is not present, although it may be present in the process program of another board in the family. SVS-Pro 3.1 allows two different modes of operation.

In the stricter mode of operation, it checks all feeders in a process program, including those for which no mountline exists (dummies). If a feeder is not present, the software will not allow production to proceed even if the related part number is not used on the board. In a less strict mode, it does not check the dummy feeders and does not generate an error, but allows production to start. 

Placement machines and the Loading Unit can now read multiple composite barcodes and format string for quantity barcodes in combination with non-leaded barcodes.

Improves operator guidance during feeder programming, showing which feeders are needed in the selected set-up.

For AX machines, provides automatic feeder pitch programming.

Offers multi-language support, including multi-byte languages, on the AX machines and the Loading Unit.  Supported languages are English, German, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
