TAWERS Software
- The TAWERS “Weld Navigation” Software is an unique feature that will make your weld development much easier and faster.
The “Weld Navigation” feature can be compared to a navigation system in the car. It guides the user in the parameter choice utilising a range of “on screen” information data pages ensuring the required welding target is realised.
To find the best welding parameter for the application you need only to select joint type and material thickness.
The remaining parameter will be automatically calculated by the configured synergy curve and welding speed.
Additionally it’s possible to influence the design of throat thickness or joint length to adjust the joint design to specialised requirements. “Weld Navigation”, will automatically re-calculate the new parameter instantly.
New opportunities are now created allowing less experienced programmers with limited welding knowledge to seek and achieve perfect welding results within a short time. It will also allow the welding “expert” to reduce routine remedial work enabling them to concentrate their skill and know-how on product optimization.

APX300 Plasma Dicer
- Plasma dicing is becoming increasingly attractive in the semiconductor market. Dies are becoming smaller and thinner and manufacturers are facing difficulties such as increasing material loss due to the width of the dicing line, mechanical damage to the dies from chipping and increasingly longer processing times due to line-by-line mechanical dicing.
Panasonic’s APX300 Plasma Dicer solves these challenges and simultaneously provides a higher quality product with a lower cost of production.
Features and benefits of Panasonic's APX300 Plasma Dicer
Plasma dicing requires a dicing street mask. After the mask is applied to the surface of the wafer and the dicing streets are exposed, the plasma process etches the exposed streets by a chemical reaction.
By using a chemical etching process, a chipping-free and particle-free process is achieved. Thanks to the use of mask patterning, narrower street widths are possible – allowing more chips to be designed onto the wafer. Furthermore, the mask patterning allows complete flexibility in chip size, shape and position.
The benefits of the Panasonic APX300 Plasma Dicer are:- Particle-free and damage-free process
- Higher chip strength

Features
The RL132 combines functionality and speed with an insertion rate up to 25,700cph (.14s/component), a board processing sizes up to 650 x 381mm, a 33% reduction in PCB transfer time, up to 18% reduction in electrical and air consumption per insertion and an improved parts lifespan for a very low cost of ownership.
This through-hole machine features a 4-pitch span and is configurable with 40 or 80 components inputs. Meanwhile, its dual split carriage enables machine function at exchange mode and parts replenishment during production. The RL132 was designed for a non-stop productivity.
The Lead V cut method enables the RL132 to insert radial lead components at a speed of 0.14s/component. Either a 2-pitch (2.5mm/5.0mm), 3-pitch (2.5mm/5.0mm/7.5mm) or 4-pitch (2.5mm/5.0mm/7.5mm/10.0mm) option can be selected.
The fixed feeder unit method and an out-of-component detection function allow ongoing component replenishment and long-term runs. PCB of 650mm x 381mm can be processed.
AV132
- The small and efficient AV132 has a performance of 30,000 cph. Due to the stand-out features the AV132 is a high-speed axial THT-insertion machine.
Features
Supplied with a 40 or 80 component feeder with optional jumper wire, the compact supply unit configuration of the AV132 can fit both ammo pack and reel. The dual partition configuration enables a fast changeover. The next job can be set up while the current one is being processed.
Capable of inserting components in four directions: 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°, the AV132 optimizes productivity by simultaneously handling 26 and 52mm taped components and providing fast, full auto-recovery.
The AV132 can reduce loading times by running two PCBs simultaneously, enabling efficient production due to a speed of 0.12s/component and a transfer speed of 2s/PCB.
The fixed feeder unit and the out-of-component detection feature allow to replenish components while maintaining long-term non-stop runs.
Preparation in advance or equipment operation during component change-over is possible.

PGMA
- PGMA - Panasonic Guided Manual Assembly helps to enhance manual assembly
- to avoid any mistakes while assembly
- to ensure an effective “zero-defect strategy”
- to share knowhow by organizing work instruction and work flows
- to introduce full traceability
- to apply an effective end-to-end material management
Typical use-cases for PGMA to guide & enhance are:
- Manual THT insertion
- Manual mechanical assembly
- Semiautomatic screw & nut mounting with and without torque control
- Manual visual inspection
- Semiautomatic testing and/or measurement
- Manual product packing and labelling incl. weight control (optional)
- Training for any manual assembly & activity
The ROI (return of invest) period for PGMA implementation is typically much less than one year due to reduction of failures and mistakes, speeding up the assembly process and finally increase of user‘s motivation.
