YAVNE, ISRAEL – Valor Computerized Systems announced full support and integration of its Trilogy 5000 assembly line automation software with the SIPlace Pro interface used in Siemens' placement systems.
The integration is important because Siemens has close to a 30% market share worldwide in the component placement market.
The integration enables users to optimize their assembly lines, Valor said.
In a statement, Valor executive vice president for marketing and product management Julian Coates 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.”
The Valor tool improves CAD/BoM loading, stencil optimization, rotation neutralization, first-rate machine/line optimization and balancing and NPI debug time, among other features, Valor said.

ENDICOTT, NY – Endicott Interconnect and VisiLED have entered a development and manufacturing agreement for medical devices. EI’s Precision Equipment Manufacturing team will provide contract manufacturing services, including prototype fabrication, product development, manufacture and test of LED lights. The first devices produced by EI directly replace existing overhead operating room lights and will be available for sale in the second quarter of the year.
VisiLED develops LED-based lighting systems for use in surgical suites, medical and dental exam rooms. These devices replace current halogen and xenon bulb technology with smaller, LED light sources which reduce power consumption, heat generation and device weight, while providing greater light intensity and improved light color. Other products under development include an endoscope light, used for examination and photography within the human body, and a device for illuminating deep cavities during surgery.
