MIMOT Introduces Full Active “Quick Change” Feeder Concept

 Irvine, California, USA – MIMOT’s new Full Active Feeder system with Quick Change Racks speeds and simplifies production by combining ‘triple intelligent’ Triligent feeder technology with the concept of exchangeable feeder banks for greater speed and flexibility in high-mix assembly environments. 

 The Full Active feeder concept dramatically reduces feeder exchange time through active high-speed optical communication between the system, intelligent feeders, and the operator. The totally transparent Full Active system is an expansion of the Triligent “Triple Intelligent” Feeder concept, by adding Quick Change Racks that can handle groups of Triligent Feeders for quick exchange. The operator has many choices, depending on production needs: intelligent single feeders, exchangeable feeder banks, or a combination of both.

 MIMOT’s Triligent feeders add speed, versatility, flexibility, and efficiency to the pick and place process. With the addition of the Quick Change feature, an operator can use single active feeders or Exchange Racks with pre-selected feeder-families. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for CM’s using customer components, for users with many different products without overlapping components, and for manufacturers who work for different divisions with different component families.

 Each user has the option to decide if the Quick Change Rack is needed to build production families, or if a combination of single feeders and racks would be more appropriate. Users who have no overlapping feeder groups may find that the single feeder concept is still the best solution. Examples of three possible usage scenarios include a single feeder concept using  Triligent Feeders; a mix of single Triligent Feeders and Quick Change Racks (QCR’s); or  Quick Change Racks only. The combination of Triligent Feeders and Quick Change Racks does not limit the user to exchange single feeders from a rack on the machine; additionally, all the advantages that the Triligent Feeders offer individually are fully functional even if the feeder is operating in a Quick Change Rack. The placement system will access single feeders or single feeders in Exchange Racks with equal ease and speed.
