The specifications of the ViCON Protecto are derived from the fundamental elements of the ViCON, which have already proven effective in the convection soldering systems of the Vision series from Rehm Thermal Systems. The ViCON Protecto can be operated through various gestures via a touch user interface. Another feature of ViCON Protecto is the direct import of ECAD data or image files. An optionally available camera also allows the user to create an overall image of the circuit board using several individual images (‘stitching’).
As the ViCON was being developed for the Protecto series, care was taken to optimise the operating sequence for the user. A wizard guides the system operator through the entire program and the creating of the painting image, while tips in colour show the current status, making operation considerably easier. Among other things, incorrect entries in the painting image creation and unsaved changes are colour-coded. The software also contains a paint database that has already been filled by the application specialists from Rehm Thermal Systems – allowing the user to select the best paint for the selected paint applicator with just a few easy clicks. Further features of ViCON Protecto are various tools for simple and intuitive paint image creation (points, lines, areas, filled polygons or surfaces), a raster and magnifying glass function, collision detection.
