Brand new from Fuji is the AIMEX IIIc placement machine, an evolution of the three-year-old AIMEX IIS. Set to be made available for order starting December 2015, the new mounter features enhancements to vital characteristics such as area productivity, usability, flexibility and expandability.
Taking up an area of just 1280 (W) x 2346 (L) mm, AIMEX IIIc supports up to 130 part supply positions, which can be expanded yet further (by approximately 1,5 times) by using HexaFeeders. Furthermore, using a DynaHead (DX) makes it possible for a single machine to support a wide range of part sizes from 0402 to 74 x 74 mm.
This machine can be set with a co-planarity check function which detects defects on parts before placement, while the LCR check function enables users to build quality in the production process even for variable-mix variable-volume production. Flexibility is offered through its wide production panel size range from 48 x 48 mm to 506 x 400 mm, and in its support of various panel types.
With an easy-to-use, on-machine editing function and 12” touchscreens, the mounter guarantees convenient usability and facilitates fast response to errors and ramping up of production for new products. Productivity is enhanced with the high-speed head H24, providing a throughput of 37 000 cph in high productivity mode with a placing accuracy of ±38 m. This allows the AIMEX IIIc to have a high area productivity of 24 643 cph/m². In addition, panels can be conveyed in 2,6 seconds with the buffer mechanism.
