Delta's Digital Twin Solution DIATwin + RTM Speeds Up New Product Introductions in Electronics Assembly
Share
As the electronics market moves towards low-volume, large-variety production, rapid product iteration has become the norm. However, introducing new products often requires significant investment in production line planning and equipment testing, which can be inefficient due to repeated trial and error. To tackle these challenges, Delta has launched the comprehensive Digital Twin Solution, which combines the DIATwin Virtual Machine Development Platform and the modular Reconfigurable Transformer Machine (RTM) Cyber-Physical Integrated Equipment. This solution has enabled a Taiwanese electronics assembly company to reduce commissioning time by over 80%, speeding up new product introductions.
In PCB assembly, conformal coating is crucial for protecting electronic components from moisture, salt spray, and mold. Traditionally, coating paths are determined by the operators’ experience. Errors require repeated trials, wasting materials and time, and frustrating engineers.
Delta's DIATwin Virtual Machine Development Platform creates high-fidelity digital models of glue dispensing machines, allowing production line engineers to plan dispensing paths and optimize parameters in a virtual environment. These optimized paths and parameters can then be applied to the physical equipment, ensuring stable coating quality and significantly improving production efficiency. The virtual model's optimal paths can be directly converted into robotic arms control codes, saving considerable programming and commissioning time.
The Delta Reconfigurable Transformer Machine (RTM) Cyber-Physical Integrated Equipment. integrates various components such as vision alignment modules, Delta’s 4-axis SCARA Robot, and glue dispensing systems into a highly modular system. RTM's capabilities include automatic calibration, virtual-physical integration, and standard modularization, which give it the flexibility to meet diverse production needs and dramatically reduce delivery times.
Delta’s Digital Twin Solution DIATwin + RTM offers the following benefits
● Prompt virtual model building accelerates time-to-market
In the product design phase, DIATwin's extensive model library and 3D visualization tools enable rapid virtual machine model creation. Efficient simulation and data analytics optimize machine configuration and process logic, reducing initial investment risks and speeding up product launches.
● Enhanced communication with smooth upper-level integration
DIATwin's smart path planning and process optimization tools automatically generate optimal processing paths and parameters based on product features and requirements. This enables seamless integration with higher-level systems like MES and ERP for automating and streamlining production lines.
● Comprehensive virtual-physical integration
RTM, combined with the DIATwin software, can generate paths offline, automatically adjust parameters, and evaluate production cycle times. This smart pre-assessment mechanism enables swift and smooth new product introductions without stopping production lines, enhancing overall production efficiency.
Digital twin technology enables valuable human resources to focus on innovation rather than repetitive manufacturing tasks. As a leading digital twin solution for equipment-level integration, Delta's Digital Twin Solution DIATwin + RTM will continue to empower the manufacturing industry with virtual-physical integration innovations.
