The next phase in electronics production Vision systems, SPI, AOI - modern SMT lines employ a wide range of measurement and inspection systems for quality control purposes. All of them have one critical weakness, however: they check only within the framework of thresholds set by the operator, i.e. they are not smart, but rigid and inflexible. This will change now, because ASM is revolutionizing the field on the path to the highly flexible Smart #1 SMT Factory. ASM ProcessExpert is the world's first self-learning inline expert system for electronics manufacturing. What makes it so...

ASM ProcessExpert: Two highly innovative components Both are technological sensations. Together they form the ASM ProcessExpert: the highly accurate ASM ProcessLens 5D Solder Paste Measurement (SPM) system and the real-time ASM ProcessEngine software. ASM ProcessLens: 5D SPM ASM ProcessLens is a totally new, highly accurate and extremely flexible 5 D inline SPM system. D eveloped exclusively for ASM ProcessExpert, it combines optical 2D and 3D measurement technologies for outstanding measurement reliability. As a modern high-end 3D SPM system, ASM ProcessLens measures the properties of...

ASM ProcessEngine: Analyze in real time ASM ProcessEngine: Analyze in real time All data from connected D EK printers and the ASM ProcessLens – i.e. the absolute measurement values of every solder deposit on every board and all critical printing parameters – gets stored in the knowledge databases of ASM ProcessEngine. As a result, ASM ProcessExpert learns with each print – and never forgets. And since it is networked with the D EK printers, it stabiliz es, automatically optimiz es and pro-actively controls the printing process entirely on its own. As real-time software with big-data...

DFM HealthCheck: Reliability through simulation Obtain optimal printing parameters with the DFM (Design for Manufacturability) HealthCheck: ▪ Perform a virtual print based on stencil data ▪ Get recommendations regarding all relevant printing parameters for a stabilized printing process ▪ Identify areas with potential issues ▪ More planning and process reliability ▪ Cost saving by recommending only the optimal stencil type and coating, solder paste type The DFM (Design for Manufacturability) HealthCheck demonstrates the potential of self-learning expert systems. ASM ProcessExpert uses this...

ASM ProcessLens 3D+2D inline Moiré phase shift Shadow-free 3D and 2D images of solder paste deposit On-the-fly PCB warp compensation Outstanding XY accuracy Proven 01005 capability High-speed programming Comprehensive and simplified SPC Package ASM ProcessEngine Prior to production start or screen printing During production (without stop) Process design optimization (stencil, paste type, printer settings) Virtual printing based on stencil Gerber data Printing process optimization Fractional experiments and analyzes of absolute results from ASM ProcessLens Automatic Optimization Process...

Fractional experiments: ASM ProcessExpert revolutionizes the NPI process What you achieve with fractional experiments: ▪ Technical requirements: DEK printer and ASM ProcessLens ▪ Optimization of your printing processes in just a few minutes with a few test prints ▪ Less time and money for the NPI process ▪ Basis for more agile and flexible production ▪ Higher first-yield rates ▪ Lower costs In the past, new product introductions required lots of trial-and-error runs to find the adequate printing parameters, with many test prints and timeconsuming analysis and discussions regarding the best...

Continuous production run control: ASM ProcessExpert operates proactively What ASM ProcessExpert means for your line: ▪ Proactive control of stable and optimized printing pr ocesses ▪ Not based on rigid user-defined thresholds but on a growing knowledge database ▪ Corrects processes long before defect generation ▪ Better quality ▪ Higher yield rates ▪ More productivity ASM ProcessExpert intelligently releases the automatic control of your production runs from rigid settings. Proactively controlled printing processes raise your productivity and quality – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year....

Milestone for the Smart #1 SMT Factory The first version of ASM Process-Expert focuses exclusively on the printing process. Why? Because stabilizing, automatically optimizing and pro-actively controlling your printing processes harbors huge improvement potential for your SMT production as a whole. To make this work, we also developed with the ASM ProcessLens the world’s most advanced SPM system - highly precise, fast, and perfectly integrated into ASM ProcessExpert. But this is only the beginning. Since implementing the Smart #1 SMT Factory is ASM team’s ultimate goal, future versions of...
