Valor has announced full support and integration with all Siplace Pro Siemens placement systems.
Siemens users can benefit from Trilogy 5000 functionality, including fast, accurate CAD/BOM load, stencil optimization, rotation neutralization, machine/line optimization and balancing, Virtual Sticky Tape (VST) to reduce NPI debug time and advanced grouping functions (for low-/mid-volume, high-mix environments. Through Siplace Pro, the steps to final program generation are fewer and faster.
Julian Coates, Valor’s executive VP for marketing and product management, said, “The seamless integration between Valor’s Trilogy 5000 advanced assembly line engineering solution and the powerful Siplace Pro open interface delivers tremendous cost savings to Siemens customers by generating the fastest route from data load to optimized machine program generation. Siemens customers will enjoy reduced NPI cycle time, increased shop floor productivity, and quicker machine programming and set-up times.”
Legex574 CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine features ultra-high accuracy (MPEE = [0.35+L/1000] µm), a large measuring range (510 x 710 x 455mm), high traverse speed (200mm/sec.) and robust worktable loading capacity (200kgf). Applications include measurement of large lenses and inspection of metallic molds, engine blocks and similar components, whether in production runs, or small lots.
Driven by MCOSMOS (Mitutoyo Controlled Open System for Modular Operation Support) software with modules supporting virtually every CAD format while providing routines for in-line measurement, data feedback and process management.
Spheroidal graphite ductile cast iron is used for the chassis which, together with air-damped spring isolators, attenuate vibration. Design used FEM (Finite Element Modeling) analysis to optimize configuration to ensure geometric accuracy by minimizing deformations caused by normal machine operations. Thermally-stable components and real-time temperature compensation maintain high accuracy, even under a wide range of operating temperatures (64.4° to 71.6°F / 18° to 22°C).
A variety of probes is supported including contacting scanning and touch-trigger as well as laser and vision.
ProcessMate 5000 centrifuge is a fast, simple way to purge medium- to high-viscosity fluids like epoxies, greases and silicones of bubbles and air pockets that can affect shot-to-shot consistency in pneumatic dispensing processes.
The compact benchtop unit can be used with prepackaged or user-loaded syringes. It is simple to operate, and will purge up to (4) 3cc, 5cc, 10cc or 30cc syringes at a time.
Has an on-off switch, timer and tachometer. Safety features include a locking lid and an electric brake that stops the rotor before the lid is opened. EFD Inc., efd-inc.com
