Automated Feeder Preparation
in SMT Manufacturing

Efficient and automated feeder preparation is crucial to minimize setup times. Pick and place machines require precise initial setup, which involves correctly loading feeder trolleys with SMD reels and assigning them to the feeder table – the correct sequence ensures a smooth production process.

Reel-Container

The reel container holds component reels, with the number depending on the thickness. The component reels are fixed and positioned on the centering spindle of the container using their central hole.

    • Centering pin for optimal reel holding
    • Movable platform for secure loading/unloading
    • One-sided safety cover for access protection
    • Safety switch for secure loading/unloading
    • ESD compliance for maximum product protection
    • Automatic loading
    • Automatic unloading
    • Seamless data exchange through standardized interfaces such as IPC-HERMES-9852, IPC-CFX, OPC UA
    • Developed for SynapticaOS
    • RFID for automatic detection and tracking of material carriers, among other things
    • Smart Label
  • ASYS develops modular, scalable machine solutions that can be flexibly adapted to product and process requirements, thereby conserving resources. The use of recyclable materials and a sustainable supply chain are an integral part of the development process. Intelligent energy management systems and predictive maintenance, for example, reduce the carbon footprint and ensure efficient, future-proof production.

Reel-Tray-Container

The reel-tray container holds component reels as well as JEDEC trays. The trays are stored on one side of the centering spindle and guided in the container by additional rails.

    • Centering pin for optimal reel holding
    • Guide rails for maximum tray compatibility
    • Movable platform for secure loading/unloading
    • One-sided safety cover for access protection
    • Safety switch for secure loading/unloading
    • ESD compliance for maximum product protection

M-Station

The M-station is a modular roller conveyor system for buffering transport goods, such as reel containers or reel magazines. The system enables manual loading and unloading and can be expanded depending on the number of positions required.

    • Payload capacity up to 50 kg for maximum transport flexibility
    • Adjustable width for handling various load carriers
    • Release button for maximum process control by the operator
    • Flexible material supply directly to the process
    • High ergonomic support
    • Location-independent positioning within the process flow
    • Scalable solution – easily expandable with additional AMRs
    • Seamless data exchange through standardized interfaces such as IPC-HERMES-9852, IPC-CFX, OPC UA
    • Developed for SynapticaOS
    • Standardized communication interface for connecting autonomous systems – such as autonomous mobile robots (AMR)
    • RFID for automatic detection and tracking of material carriers, among other things
    • Standardized part management for conveyor technology

Automated Component Reel Management

Efficient component reel handling starts with the “Order Control” function, which determines the reels required for preparation in the “Pre-Setup Area”. The “Material Locator” calculates the required reels for the tables/trolleys and creates corresponding picking lists. Reels are taken from the storage area, such as the Dry Tower, and loaded into a reel container. An autonomous mobile robot transports the container to the M-station, where the “Material Locator” updates the availability. After the container has emptied, it is returned to the Unloading Station or a buffer, with the “Mobile Robot Manager” and “Fleet Manager” coordinating the transport.
