3. ACCEPTANCE
CRITERIA
There
are
to be two acceptance test runs, one at Seller’s plant to confirm system
conformance with the Specification and the Acceptance Test Criteria, and one
at
the production site to reconfirm confirm system conformance with the
Specification and the Acceptance Test Criteria after shipping and
reinstallation. The Parties will, in accordance with the Program Schedule,
mutually agree on a detailed Test Plan for each acceptance test as well as
Acceptance Test Criteria for successful passage of such tests.
The
pre-acceptance test run will be for two complete runs of four hours each and
will occur at Seller’s plant. The test will assemble and test the More Energy
product as described in Annex 1. Seller will provide engineering and technician
support and conduct the acceptance test run. Customer may have its project
engineer, and any other personnel its selects, present for these test runs.
During the test run, the machine shall comply with the Acceptance Test Criteria,
as well as meet the following criteria:
3.1 |
The
machine shall achieve a net throughput, after reductions for downtime
and
yield losses, of at least 8’996 accepted units (which represents an
average overall line efficiency of 85% and yield of 98% at the rated
system throughput rate of 45 parts per minute). For this test run
the
system will start from a “full machines / full buffers” condition and the
counters reset at that point. Note; system throughput is the determining
factor; cycle rates of individual assembly cells may fluctuate in
order to
meet the target throughput rate.
|
3.2 |
Downtime
and yield losses due to non-machine causes shall not count against
machine
performance.
Downtime and yield losses due to non-machine causes may result from
the
following:
|
· Shortage
of bulk parts in feeding systems
· Depletion
of fluids in dispensing systems
· Out-of-specification
components
· Operator
failure
· Downtime
directly caused by processes which are mandated by Customer
· Failure
of air, vacuum, or incoming power supplies
Preliminary
acceptance shall occur upon successful completion of this test as evidenced
by
the signature of both Customer and Seller’s designated representatives on a
Milestone Completion Certificate. In the event of any failures in the test,
Seller shall correct the failed items on a timely basis and submit the system
or
relevant subsystem for retest in accordance with the mutually agreed Test Plan
and Acceptance Test Criteria.
3.3 |
A
second and final Acceptance Test will be performed at the production
facility (currently expected to be at CELESTICA’s facility in Ireland),
consisting of three complete runs of four hours each. These tests
are to
confirm that no damage resulted from transit, and that the installation
has been correctly completed. The same Acceptance Test Criteria shall
apply to this final Acceptance Test. Final acceptance shall occur
upon successful completion of this test as evidenced by the signature
of
both Customer and Seller’s designated representatives on a Milestone
Completion Certificate. In the event of any failures in the test,
Seller
shall correct the failed items on a timely basis and submit the system
or
relevant subsystem for retest in accordance with the mutually agreed
Test
Plan and Acceptance Test Criteria. The Seller’s cost for such retest shall
be at its own expense.
|
3.4 |
When
possible, the entire line will be tested together as a complete system.
When for reasons of component availability and or process related
issues a
full line pre-acceptance is not possible, the parties agree to accept
(test run) individual sections of the line using the same acceptance
criteria as indicated above. In this case, pre-acceptance of a section
will result in a 15% payment to Ismeca for the respective section
approved
by Customer with the 15% balance (under 2.4(d) above) being payable
together with the final acceptance under 2.4(e) above. Invoicing
of
accepted sections of the line (pro-rata based upon their relative
values
as indicated in above in
|
section
2.3) will occur following pre-acceptance. Shipping of accepted
sections of
the complete line will occur when mutually agreed by More Energy
and
Ismeca.
|
4. INDEPENDENT

/ 27.9 days utilizing an 85% up time / efficiency with a 98% yield we achieve
a
45
parts per minute gross cycle rate.
(Based
upon the More/Medis specification calculations Ismeca estimates around
1.50
Million Devices per month net
output).
The
system is based largely on mechanical cam driven operations and synchronisations
rather than electronic drives.

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION

Description
of the machines / stations
The
parts
are assembled in nests on the various machine platforms. Some open stations
are
provided to allow for easy access to the machine stations and for future
retrofits yet to be decided or discussed.
As
a
general rule, each time a part is presented and loaded onto the machine,
its
presence is checked. The method is either to use a sensor to check for
the part
presence or to check the gripper position. Closed loop logic is used throughout
the machine.
Xxxxxx

months from the time of the repair or delivery. Parts suffering wear
and tear
shall form an exception and are not guaranteed unless otherwise mentioned
in
this Agreement.
At
Ismeca's discretion, the Product or the defective component may be
repaired or
replaced free of charge under the guarantee. The defects must be such
as to be
identifiable to and reasonably accepted by Ismeca.
Unless
the Customer lacks the technical capacity itself to perform the necessary
work
and if no suitable local technical support is available, Ismeca will
have the
choice of having the necessary repair work performed by its own staff
in
situ
or
asking
the Customer to have the work done at Ismeca's expense, or asking a
technical
team to do it for the account and at the expense of Ismeca.
All
other
claims are excluded, especially with regard to damages in respect of
direct
or
indirect damages, loss of production, lost earnings, etc., as is the possibility
for the Customer to reduce or rescind the Order in question or any other
order

or wilful

for use.

or
the Programs leave Ismeca, without prior written permission from Ismeca,
will
invalidate
the Ismeca guarantee on the corresponding part of the Product or the Programs
and will render any outstanding balance of payment immediately callable.
