The latest generation machine for optimized production
At FDI, equipment renewal is essential to guarantee optimum performance. With this in mind, one of our three SMD lines was recently replaced after six years of use. This renewal is part of a plan to update machines every 5 to 7 years, depending on the number of components installed. This initiative enables us to keep our solutions at the cutting edge of technology.
Enhanced performance with the A40 range
The new line is part of Mycronic’s A40 range, which incorporates advanced technologies offering enhanced performance over the previous generation. The MX7 assembly head achieves theoretical placement speeds of 59,000 components per hour, a significant improvement on the 40,000 components per hour of the previous machine. Equipped with 7 placement heads, each with its own motor, the line allows each head to operate independently, optimizing production. Compared with the previous machine, which had 8 heads with a single motor, this new configuration enhances the performance of the entire system.
Flexibility and efficiency
Thanks to the A40 line, it is now possible to handle an even wider range of components, from the smallest, such as 0.4×0.2mm, to larger dimensions such as 45×45×15mm or even 150×40×15mm. This extended capacity not only meets the ever-increasing demands of miniaturization, but also makes it possible to handle a wide variety of components, whatever their size. In this way, FDI is able to meet the diverse needs of its customers, while guaranteeing maximum flexibility in production management.
Optimization with TPSYS 6
Quick installation: a smooth transition to maintain productivity
Installation of the new line was completed rapidly. In less than a week, the old machine was completely dismantled, the new one installed, and production restarted without delay. This fast response is a major asset in guaranteeing continuity of operations and minimizing downtime. This approach demonstrates the company’s agility in adapting to technological change, while maintaining optimum responsiveness to growing production needs.
