Proud to support the future of engineering 🌟 ASMPT was delighted to be a partner and participate in the Women's Engineering Society (WES) Student and Apprentice Event held at the M Shed in Bristol. This incredible event brought together aspiring female engineers, apprentices, and industry professionals to celebrate innovation, diversity, and the power of mentorship in shaping the future of engineering. As a company committed to nurturing talent and fostering opportunities for the next generation, we were inspired by the energy, curiosity, and potential showcased by the students and apprentices who joined us. Events like these are essential for bridging the gap between education and industry, sparking meaningful conversations, and empowering individuals to achieve their goals in STEM. A huge thank you to WES for organizing such a dynamic and impactful event, and to all the attendees who stopped by to connect with us. #ASMPT #Engineering #ElectronicsManufacturing #SMT #STEM

Did you know that the automatically closed-loop pickup correction optimizes the component pickup❓ Component pick-ups are always associated with certain tolerances. In most cases, the component is picked up by the nozzle with a slight offset. This leads to higher reject rates when the offset is out of tolerance. Particularly in fine-pitch applications, it is important to take pick-up offset into account and to compensate for it to ensure maximum pick-up reliability and thus optimum placement quality. With automatic closed-loop pickup correction, SIPLACE placement machines detect the offset precisely and react accordingly: 🔹 Correction of the X-Y offset by adjusting the positioning parameters 🔹 Correction of the angular offset using rotary drives on every nozzle To do this, the machine precisely determines the center point of the component and nozzle and calculates the correction data from this. This data is also used when picking up the next component. Your benefits: ✔️ Consistently high placement quality ✔️ Prevention of unnecessary discards ✔️ Continuous optimization of component pickups With closed-loop pickup correction, particularly through pipette rotary drives, ASMPT is the technology leader in the industry.

Empowering future engineers: An exciting weekend with Hochschule München's electrical engineering students! 🎓 We had an amazing time at the First-Year Weekend of the Electrical Engineering students of Hochschule München. The students took on our Pick and Place Challenge, competing against our placement machines to assemble plates as quickly as possible. It was an exciting competition! Our #ASMPT team also had the opportunity to provide the students with insights into the work of our engineering teams. They gave detailed presentations of our machines, machine components, and entry options at ASMPT, happily answering all their questions. It was great to see so much interest and enthusiasm from the students. We look forward to future collaborations and are proud to inspire and support the engineers of tomorrow. A big thank you to Hochschule München for this wonderful opportunity! 💡 #ElectricalEngineering #Innovation #Engineers #ASMPT

Did you know ... that software can automatically detect the right component pitch for 8 mm feeders? 🔧 Depending on the manufacturer or lot, the same component is supplied at different distances on the tape. The pitch variation causes problems with component pick-up if it is not taken into account in the machine settings. The station software for our SIPLACE placement machines automatically determines the pitch values for 8 mm feeders. The machine software proceeds systematically: 🔹 Iindex is set to the smallest possible pitch 🔹 First component is picked 🔹 If successful, the pitch is retained  🔹 If not successful, the pitch is gradually increased until the optimal value is found. Once automatic pitch detection has been activated in WORKS Programming, the machine adapts fully automatically to the respective component pitch, even when changing tapes. The benefits are clear: ✅ Automatic pickup reliability improvement ✅ Avoidance of component discards and waste  ✅ Relieve operators from manual adjustment Automatic pitch detection is an important contribution to the component flexibility of the SIPLACE platform.

New functions increase efficiency when changing products in the DEK TQ solder paste printer: Paste Transfer and Quick Changeover Squeegee 📌 ASMPT speeds up product changes with an automation option that is as simple as it is clever: when changing a product in the solder paste printer, the solder paste remaining on the stencil to be changed must be transferred to the new one. Previously, this was done by hand using a spatula. In most cases, the entire remaining amount was not collected, and the paste was often not optimally applied to the new stencil. In addition, there was always a risk of the paste becoming contaminated or landing in the wrong place, which could lead to change to print defects that cause scrap and costly repairs. The new paste transfer unit for the DEK TQ now also simplifies this process: the paste is transferred fully automatically each time the stencil is changed, provided the process parameters allow this. To do this, the paste is collected onto a transfer unit with the squeegee and from there applied to the new stencil again with the squeegee. The system then automatically removes any paste from the underside of the paste transfer tray using the underside cleaning function. The new paste transfer system can be retrofitted to all solder paste printers on the DEK TQ platform with little effort. It not only relieves the strain on employees, but also reduces paste loss by up to 50 percent. ASMPT has also optimized the squeegee change: The squeegee, which was previously fastened with two thumb screws, is now automatically unlocked when it is removed from the machine. It can then be changed with a single movement before the holder locks automatically. This reduces the changing time by up to 50 percent. This should not be underestimated, as it is not unusual for a machine to require change to a number of changeovers during production shifts. Mechanical design also prevents the squeegee from being inserted incorrectly. Quick Changeover Squeegee can be retrofitted in approximately 30 minutes and is available for both the DEK TQ and the DEK TQ L printers. #SMT #ElectronicsManufacturing #Printing #Innovation #PCP
