Zero-defect Software Eases Placement Machine Setup
June 14, 2005 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands — A new version of Assembleon's zero-defect set-up assistance software, SVS-Pro 3.1, is said to further simplify its SMD placement machine setup, particularly in applications where the production line is configured to process smaller production batches. SVS-Pro 3.1 allows two different modes of operation. In the stricter mode of operation, SVS-Pro 3.1 checks all feeders in a process program, including those for which no mountline exists (dummies), so if a feeder is not present, SVS-Pro 3.1 will not allow production to proceed, even if the related part number is not used on the board. In a less strict mode of operation, SVS-Pro 3.1 does not check the dummy feeders and does not generate an error, but allows production to start. With this, SVS-Pro works with whatever set-up scenario is normal to the user.
