SMT Line Replenishment
of Component Reels

SMT line replenishment of component reels is essential for smooth operation. The pick-by-light system ensures precise provision at the right time and in the right place and provides the operator with visual support during the splicing process, optimizing production flow and minimizing downtime.

Reel-Magazine

The Reel-Magazine-Container delivers component reels directly to the production line as needed. Equipped with an RFID tag for clear identification, it provides reels at the right time and in the right quantity.

    • Flexible grid for maximum reel capacity up to 11 slots
    • Individually configurable slot heights
    • Freely selectable access to any reel position
    • ESD compliance for maximum product protection
    • Automatic loading
    • 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-Magazine-Loader

The Reel-Magazine-Loader is used to fill reel magazines. Up to two magazines can be placed on the system at the same time.

    • Flexible platform for 2 magazines
    • Optimized magazine filling based on container thickness
    • Light barrier at magazine handover for minimal access time
    • Shutter for maximum access protection
    • Automatic switching to the next empty magazine
    • Magazine platform for robot handling
    • Traceability of materials thanks to reel position assignment in the magazine
    • 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 with handling systems

Intelligent energy management systems and predictive maintenance, for example, reduce the carbon footprint and ensure efficient, future-proof production.

M-Station Pick-by-Light

The M-Station Pick-by-Light, installed close to the placement system, visualizes the required component reels via LED light strip and can pick up to two reel magazines. Transfers are done manually, via trolley or robot.

    • 2 buffer slots
    • 2 Pick-by-Light elements for optimal visualization of reel positions
    • Payload: up to 50 kg per segment
    • Precise provisioning of required component reels
    • Ergonomic reel removal
    • 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

Pick-by-Light Mobile

The Pick-by-Light mobile system allows the operator to transport reel magazines to lines that cannot be reached by AMRs. Smart labels with LED blinking function visualize the required component reel and enable a process-safe access.

    • 1 buffer slot
    • Individual Smart Label in each slot for optimal visualization of reel positions
    • Payload: up to 50 kg per segment
    • Flexible manual handling in the loading area
    • Precise provisioning of required component reels
    • Ergonomic reel removal
    • Seamless data exchange through standardized interfaces such as IPC-HERMES-9852, IPC-CFX, OPC UA

Optimized Reel Supply with Pick-by-Light Support

Depending on the product, the placement machines consume a certain number of components and therefore component reels. These reels must be provided in the right quantity, at the right time, in the right place. Reel replenishment with pick-by-light support, based on a dynamic horizon, offers a continuous supply of reels, combined with visual guidance for the operator during the splicing process.

Efficient Replenishment with the M-Station Pick-by-Light

The M-Station Pick-by-Light installed close to the pick-and-place system serves as an interface for replenishment. With space for up to two reel magazines, it indicates the required component reel using an LED bar. Search and travel times are eliminated, and replenishment is demand-oriented. The transfer process can be carried out manually, by trolley or by autonomous robots.

An M-Station pick-by-light is positioned in front of an SMD line. An operator removes a component reel from the reel magazine.  Buffer system with PCB magazines.
