Professional magazine and portal dedicated to electronics ASM Material Tower grows with its tasks
Whether located next to the line as a speedy component replenishment system or installed as part of a connected main storage system, the new generation of the ASM Material Tower adapts perfectly to the requirements of modern SMT production. It supports classic manual withdrawals as well as fully automated AIV-supported material flow processes in the integrated smart factory. Thanks to its intelligent software control, the modular storage system is hugely versatile as a highly scalable, interconnected solution.
Depending on the user’s requirements, multiple towers can be combined into clusters where material is exchanged between units via an integrated transport module. The distribution of materials within the storage system is handled by intelligent algorithms which reduce the frequency of withdrawals and the time required for them. The number and type of transfer points can be flexibly selected and subsequently modified for manual operation as well as for use with autonomous transport systems.
