Automation for a world in motion - Festo @ SCIIF

Advanced Packaging Solution

Application: Advanced packaging process

Highlights：

The IC chips on tray are transported to the glue coating area for coating. The coated IC chips are then transported to the hot-pressing station through the conveyer for heat curing, pressing and bonding of the product and glue. Closed loop force control is used. The module can accurately control the pressing force and protect the IC chips, greatly enhancing the overall reliability and productivity of the advanced packaging process. With support of Festo AX, it can easily monitor cylinder health rate, providing intelligent production for the semiconductor industry.

Core technology:

• 1 valve terminal VTEP controls all pressures that all applications required. We can also use VEAB as alternative solution.
• Pick and place application to control vacuum with high accuracy and also detect the failure of the suction cup
• Glueing application to show high accuracy of air pressure supplying for glue
• Pressing application to show high accuracy of pressing force
• With support of AX, it can easily monitor cylinder health rate

AX for automation

Your requirements:

How to determine the operating status of equipment, especially the reliability of key process related equipment, to avoid losses caused by unplanned shutdowns, while fully utilizing the service life of equipment components and avoiding waste. This is another important topic in automated production besides safety, efficiency, and digitization.

Application scenarios:

Production of power motors, batteries, and automotive components.

Festo solution:

The Festo AX artificial intelligence solution can be used not only to evaluate the operational status of pneumatic and electric components, but also to assess the status of key dimensions, such as the diameter of locating pins and the position of locating surfaces. This evaluation is based on the AI model, which detects the current state and predicts the future period to ensure the good operation of the equipment.

• In addition to energy efficiency management functions, MSE6-C2M can also evaluate the airtightness of gas path systems and detect leaks.
• The ELGD is designed with built-in protection to ensure better service life under different working conditions.
• CPX-AP-A-VTUX is a platform for gas electric fusion, which also provides data for AX, including valve switching times, to construct digital models

Solutions for Lithium-ion Battery Formation Machine

Your requirements:

How to dynamically pump the electrolyte gas production to improve the product quality and reduce the electrolyte loss during the formation process of square shell batteries?Is there a more cost-effective product to reduce the manufacturing cost of the formation cabinet?

Application Scenario:

Formation of square-case batteries for power & storage applications

Festo Solution:

• Festo Negative Pressure Proportional Valve VPPEO - the industry's first integrated negative pressure proportional adjustment product, using 485 communication, real-time adjustment of the negative pressure size in the formation process; compared with the traditional analog control, 485 communication has the advantages of strong anti-jamming ability, long communication distance, communication rate and so on; for multiple proportional valves, 485 communication has a greater advantage in cost; the valve body control uses a long distance, and the communication rate is high; for multiple proportional valves, 485 communication has a greater advantage in cost. For the application of multiple proportional valves, 485 communication also has a big advantage in cost; the valve body control adopts piezoelectric technology, which improves the accuracy and response time of pressure adjustment.
• Localized DSBG-CS - Festo's locally developed and manufactured large bore cylinders have a significant price advantage under the premise of ensuring product performance.

Edge Controller CEPE Application

Your requirements:

Provide a complete solution from sigle source

Application：
Control interplotation motions of 2 sets of gantries

Highlights：

• Festo AX OS Realtime platform based on PLCnext
• Support programming via different languages (IEC 61131、C++、Python)
• Open ecosystem, access and integrated into the third-party application via Fox Store and PLCnext Store
• Scalable motion solution: from single axis to multi-axes synchronization/interpolation, easy adaptation
• Realtime monitoring and predictive maintenance: check the machine status in real time, and find out the potential issue before downtime
