Europlacer announced the launch of its newest pick and place machine, the iineo+ platform, positioned at the top of its product range. The platform includes an integrated component electrical tester, a new operating system, multicore processing and improved operator interface, as well as optional upgrades for enhanced traceability.
The embedded component tester is Europlacer’s Kelvin-connected electrical measuring system calibrated to all international standards. Manufacturers in demanding sectors like aerospace, medical, defence and automotive will welcome the optional Track Pack traceability upgrade. This enhances 1D and 2D traceability by adding a suite of interoperable traceability and smart data analysis tools, including Europlacer’s PROMON live production dashboard, to the test function. The Track Pack upgrade also includes an auto-width conveyor.
Europlacer’s latest RC5.16 operating system software deploys multicore processing technology and client/server architecture to support an all-new graphical user interface, exploited through a large touchscreen monitor. The processing power behind RC5.16 boosts on-machine vision analysis processes and streamlines inter-platform communications – ideal for networked multi-machine production floors. iineo+ also introduces an enhanced package library, with new features that include the display of non-optimal package settings, exact shape representations for different device types, and a new special analysis mode for difficult devices.
