MYDATA introduces the Agilis Stick Magazine
MYDATA have introduced the Agilis Stick Magazine (ASM). By adapting the proven Agilis design to work in a stick magazine, high-mix SMT manufacturers can boost productivity to levels that simply is not possible with traditional stick feeders. With a revolutionary stick feeding technology, the ASM provides a unique combination of accuracy, speed and flexibility that can increase both the variety and quantity of components placed on an individual production run, as well as throughout the day.
Unlike vibratory stick feeders that erratically shake up and down or side-to-side, the ASM utilizes a precision linear drive and servo- controlled horizontal motion to accurately and quickly feed up to 50mm long components in up to 28mm high sticks. To do so, the ASM smoothly moves the stick forward and immediately pulls straight back to advance components through the stick and into the pick-up position. The result is that feeding can now be accomplished with a much higher degree of reliability and efficiency.
According to MYDATA CEO Bengt Broman, the benefits the ASM has for high-mix SMT manufacturers directly translates into greater productivity and profit potential.
That's because the time needed for changeovers and setups has been greatly reduced. No matter which pallet is loaded into the ASM, or which type of component is scheduled for placement, no manual feeding settings are required. The system automatically locates the pallet and pickup position.
Key benefits that the ASM has to offer include:
increased accuracy and reliability;
setups and changeovers in no time;
extremely wide component range;
one magazine handles it all;
removable stick pallets with ID and barcode; and
no manual settings required
