Siplace SiCluster Professional software determines component overlaps in family setups. Groups shared components on constant component tables, which remain on the machine during setup changeovers. Reportedly reduce setup time by hours, while reducing space and investment requirements for feeders and component carts by up to 33%. Is available as an add-on to Siplace Pro v. 7.1, which offers setups for single products or product families combined with fixed setups, offline setups of feeder tables and changeover tables concepts, nonstop setup changeovers with line execution system, or random setups of individual feeder modules.
