System Description
The PS System moves devices from input media through a program-
ming and optional marking process to output media for delivery to
the next phase of the production process. The PS System combines a
device programming system and a high-speed pick and place head
(PNP head) to provide rapid programming of standard pitch devices,
as well as ultra-fine pitched devices.
TaskLink™ software and Automated Handler software (AH500) run-
ning on the system’s Handler Computer direct the PS System to per-
form a series of processes, including automatic handling,
programming, marking, and placement of devices to the output
media of choice.
Safety Systems
The PS System has several safety systems to prevent personal injury
and system damage. These systems include E-Stops and Safety
Shields. If your system has a Laser Marker, it comes with a fume
extractor.
Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Buttons
Two large, red Emergency Stop buttons are located near the top of the
PS System, one on either side of the machine. The buttons are easily
reached in an emergency. When an E-Stop button is pressed, the
gantry stops moving immediately. The PNP head Z-axis motion is not
stopped.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Pressing an E-Stop button stops
motion of the gantry only. It does not remove electrical power
from the PS Machine or the Option Bay (if installed). Switch the
main power off for safety.
Pinch hazard. The E-Stop does not shut off air. On PS588 only,
Socket Actuators can still move down.
Safety Shields with Interlocks
During operation, when the high-speed PNP head is processing
devices, the clear plastic shields around the workspace are closed to
protect operators from injury. Each shield has a safety interlock
which stops gantry movement if the operator forgets to first park the
PNP head.
Normally, if the power is ON, the PNP head should be stopped in the
park position prior to opening a Safety Shield.
WARNING: Possible collision hazard. The high speed and force of
the gantry can seriously harm anyone working inside the operat-
ing area. When working within the PS Machine workspace, mov-
ing the PNP Head must be the responsibility of only one qualified
individual. All other personnel must stay clear of the PS Machine
controls to prevent injury to the person working within the system.
Never operate the system with any interlock bypassed.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Opening the Safety Shields stops
motion of the gantry only. It does not remove electrical power
from the PS Machine or the Option Bay (if installed). Switch the
main power off for safety.
Pinch hazard. The E-Stop does not shut off air. On PS588 only,
Socket Actuators can still move down.
CAUTION: Possible product damage. Do not use solvents such as
acetone, lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, isopropyl alcohol, or any
type of abrasive compound on the safety shields. Use of these
products will damage the safety shield surfaces and reduce visibil-
ity of the work area.
DEFINITIONS
Park Position:
The spot in the workspace
(back edge, left of center)
where the head stops when
a job is paused or ended.
Home Position:
The far, right corner of the
workspace (0, 0) where
the head travels to before
each job is started.
