Feeders are simply defined by selecting a component from the library. Electrical values and user-defined part numbers can be added. Feeder module and feeder lane are then specified. Feeder names are freely definable for efficient organization of component inventory. Component placements can either be taught with the standard integrated CCD camera system or directly entered with the optional CAD translator.
Teaching is fast and accurate.
Components can be selected directly from the feeder displayed. An image of the component is displayed from the actual camera picture. This virtual view gives the operator a clear picture of the component at its programmed position, including Pin-1 polarity and rotation, thereby eliminating orientation errors. With the optional CAD translator, coordinates are programmed within seconds. The board layout can be mirrored if needed.
