ii-RC

As an integral part of the Europlacer software solutions ecosystem, ii-RC supports you at every stage of your SMT assembly process. ii-RC is not only the interface that allows you to interact with your placement machines, it’s the heart of functionality on dedicated workstations: to ensure the preparation of your feeders, to manage your component stock, to generate your placement programs and optimize them, or even to undertake the recognition process to learn your electronic components. And much more!

Every workstation and machine using ii-RC software communicates seamlessly to deliver an interconnected environment and expedite procedures while eliminating unnecessary data manipulation. Thanks to our policy of backwards compatibility, you can benefit from the latest versions of ii-RC software and enjoy its advantages even on your oldest Europlacer machines. In its latest version, RC5-16 software incorporates new features that revolutionize the way you work.

Here are a few examples:

  • ii-RC has a new look and feel, with a more ergonomic interface and a much-improved user experience, particularly through touch-screen management.
  • As standard, it integrates the management of Gerber layers during the definition of your programs. Thanks to this functionality, it frees you from using valuable machine resources, allowing you to prepare your future production entirely off-line.
  • Data logging to give total traceability of modifications to your parameters and to machine libraries. It provides maximum control over your quality standards.
  • Multi-line optimization that will allow you to switch a production program from one line to another without having to worry about re-optimizing.
  • A wizard to create electrical test procedures for your components. The definition of stringent electrical test procedures is usually reserved for expert teams. Europlacer offers a solution that makes it possible for anyone to carry them out.
  • Verification and calculation tools that eliminate any human or component stock assessment errors.

Features / Benefits

Multi-job Optimiser

Our Multi-job optimiser creates common loading plans for groups of jobs, it minimises feeder changes, significantly reduces product changeover times and improves the general throughput of the line.

Total Traceability

Being able to determine ‘what happened and why?’ is an important ability, especially within a fast and dynamic production environment.

Auto Adaptive Sequencing

A.A.S is a unique and powerful Europlacer tool which eliminates, in real time, potential placement issues caused by poor programming or component run-out in production.

Stock Management

Stock management makes it possible to trace all parts used on the pick and place machines or within the shop floor environment.

Set-up Help

Set-up help facilitates the new product introduction from a programming station by preparing the machine loading for the next job without interrupting production.

NPI

NPI is a fundamental process for any operation that requires a fast and seamless new product introduction process.

CircuitCam Express

CircuitCAM Express results in improved productivity, reduced lead times, increased product quality, and ultimately increased profitability.
