MIMOT Announces Largest Feeder Capacity – up to 324 per Machine
MIMOT announces the largest feeder capacity of any pick and place system – over 300 feeders onboard at any one time – maximizing system flexibility and reducing or eliminating production-crippling changeover times. This means than multiple jobs can be run on the placement machine without the need to stop to change feeders.
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 23, 2004 -- MIMOT announces the largest feeder
capacity of any pick and place system – over 300 feeders onboard at any one time
– maximizing system flexibility and reducing or eliminating production-crippling
changeover times. This means than multiple jobs can be run on the placement
machine without the need to stop to change feeders.
“The new American
market is demanding higher flexibility for cost-efficient, just-in-time
production” says Joerg Widmer, General Manager of MIMOT’s U.S. operation. “The
MIMOT autoplacer is configured such that when the first job is finished, the
feeders for the second job are already waiting and production is not
interrupted. Up to 324 smart feeders can be changed on the running MIMOT
placement machine while production never stops. The system is able to place the
entire range of components from 0201's up to 55 x 55mm with a speed up to 21,600
c/h without the need for a fine pitch placer or chip shooter. Major US companies
have already decided in favor of this unique concept to meet the needs of a new
and challenging market.”
MIMOT’s highly capable Advantage placement
product line, in addition to offering the industry’s highest feeder capacity,
delivers increased placement speeds, unsurpassed flexibility and a unique
modular design that incorporates a superior integration software
package.
