Evolving dispensing operations

Dispensing is one of the most common processes in the final assembly of electronic devices for both industrial and consumer applications. Maintaining strict quality standards while enhancing throughput is a fundamental challenge concerning dispensing processes.

Challenge

Space constraints and skilled labor 

EMS companies face many challenges incorporating dispensing machines within manufacturing processes, such as selecting the hardware and the requirement for a skilled workforce to handle implementation, maintenance, and upgrades. Moreover, they have to tackle the rising manufacturing costs alongside the growing demand for electronics.

  • Multiple hardware selection
  • Skilled workforce
  • Maintenance

Solution

Sysmac Modular Solution

The Sysmac Modular Solution is a unified solution combining control, safety, motion, and robotics. The integration of core software and hardware provides the basis for common applications in FATP operations, including screw tightening, pick and place, and dispensing. The modular design helps to reduce implementation time, maintenance, and inventory management. Standardized programming offers significant advantages, including enhanced performance, machine connectivity, and integration of legacy equipment to Industry 4.0 standards.
