Specifications

They are super-compact, reaching a maximum height of 2.60 meters and a maximum width of 2.40 meters
They are the only warehouses that manage and move the reels through a system of antistatic trays
They are included with standard trays available in different sizes (from 7 “up to 15” configurable with different heights from 8 up to 88 mm)
They come equipped with a kit of standard trays or can be customized to measure with quantities of customizable trays
Internally, the spaces can be configured through customized design. A warehouse can contain: A warehouse can contain
- a mix of standard 7 “and 15″ reels trays (maximum capacity: 960 7 ” reels and 425 15″ reels)
- a completely customized mix of trays
They are modular. They are created as standard to be modular and extendable through a system of conveyor “shuttles”, communicating doors, internal elevators and grippers for handling the reels.
They can be configured with a range of advanced humidity control systems (RH <5%)
They are equipped with light and sound systems that signal process progress or system anomalies (turret traffic lights)
They are normally equipped with touch screen monitors / bar readers / keyboards and mouse
They are equipped with high-precision cameras

Benefits

Thanks to the Patented Multiple Exit door, the preparation time of the kits for production and the time taken by the operator to store the material will no longer be a problem.
Extraction: 27 reels in 60 sec (operator time).

Insertion: 54 reels in 60 sec (operator time)

Thanks to the QUICK EXIT door, it will be very simple to extract an urgent reel even during the loading and unloading phase of the warehouse. The operator can temporarily interrupt the loading / unloading operation in progress, ask the system to provide priority with the component that is urgently needed, and extract it from the quick exit.

The configuration of the heights of the trays is practically infinite. Each tray has a range that goes from a minimum of 8mm to a maximum of 88mm in height.
The warehouse is able to dynamically manage the subdivision of internal spaces just like with a hard disk and to allow the storage of trays of different heights quickly and automatically.
With Ultraflex series there is no need to pre-configure the height of the internal positions to house the components

The standard version of Ultraflex series has an extraordinary storage capacity.
It can manage a maximum of 3624 reels.

Ultraflex series can contain not only reels, but also any other material and component that is suitable for the size of the trays (width from 7 “up to 15” for a maximum height of 88 mm).

Ultraflex series was created to be integrated with the different P&P lines (Juki, Fuji, ASM, Yamaha, Panasonic, Universal, Europlacer, Hanwa, Micronic, Essemtec) and with the many business systems (ERP or MES). Essegi Automation is able to provide powerful integration solutions to accelerate the achievement of the objectives of Industry 4.0 and make electronic manufacturing companies a real intelligent factory.

Thanks to the dynamic management of the components inside the warehouse, all the positions and sectors of the different units are used, without the possibility of leaving an empty space.
The components can be allocated to each movement in a different position without losing traceability. Simply put, ISM software finds a place for every single component and remembers exactly where it is.

Ultraflex series stores components without the need for vacuum bags, because it is able to regulate and monitor humidity and maintain a constant internal environment below 5% relative humidity.
Thanks to a range of dehumidification options (dehumidifiers or FRUs, Fast Recovery Units) Ultraflex series is able to reduce humidity in a very short time even in conditions of high external humidity.
The ISM software is equipped with a control module that guarantees the monitoring of the “Floor Life” of each component: the expiry date and time are calculated and tracked with absolute precision. The system prevents the use of components whose period of exposure to humidity exceeding 5% has expired. Expired components can thus be quickly removed from stock.

The system is able to collect images and data in real time thanks to the high precision cameras and software options that store and manage all the information collected.
It is possible to generate reports in real time that allow you to trace reels, labels, components and a lot of information related to the acceptance, logistics or production processes
The software is available with a full range of quick traceability consultations: serial number, code, date, location, product, supplier, deadlines and MSD status …
All images and data are saved in the database and it will be possible to consult or share them easily at any time.

Ultraflex series is finished with antistatic paint. The housings are ESD certified and ensure that sensitive electronic components remain safe and are not damaged by electrostatic discharge.

Configurations

How can our warehouses be combined?

Our systems are designed to be modular and scalable and to grow with businesses, allowing total freedom to configure, modify, expand and transfer to other departments or sites.

ISM3600 can be used alone, independently or can be connected during the first installation, or at a later time even years later, to one or more ISM 3900.
Two ISM 3600s can be connected to each other in the Back to Back configuration. This configuration is particularly useful when you want to separate the incoming and outgoing flows of the material or when you want to put two rooms in communication. Back-to-backs can transfer material from one side to the other via shuttle conveyors.

There are countless combination possibilities that we can propose or design directly according to the needs of the company.
