Note: For more information about threading cover tape, see the

documentation that came with your tape feeder.

7. Adjust pitch—

7a. Count the number of sprocket holes in the carrier tape between

the center of one pocket and the center of the next pocket.

7b. On the feeder control panel, set the pitch index to the number of

guide holes. For example, if there are four guide holes from

pocket center to pocket center, enter

in the pitch index. Use the

[

and [

buttons to lower or raise the pitch index. See Figure

2-19.

Figure 2-19: Setting the Tape Feeder pitch index.

8. Align the pick point—

8a. Close all safety shields and release E-Stop buttons.

8b. Start the AH500 Software via TaskLink.

8c. On the Gantry Window, press Park.

8d. Advance the carrier tape (holding down the center button while

pushing the Forward button) until the pick point mark on the

tape window aligns with the center of a pocket.

8e. Release the center button. Press the forward button once to

index the device tape forward one pocket.

Before running a job with the tape input feeder in place, it is neces-

sary to:

• Teach locations to the PNP head. For information, see Teaching

the Package File on page 3-40.

• Select tape input setting in the AH500 software. For information,

see (Optional) Preselecting Programmers on page 3-13.

Setting Up the Tape Output System

The PS System can be configured with an optional tape output

system.

The tape output system receives programmed devices from the

PS System via a second PNP head on the output frame. With this

head, the Tape Output System places devices into empty carrier tape

pockets, advances the carrier tape through a mechanism that seals the

tape (using heat or pressure), and rolls the filled tape onto a reel for

delivery to the next stage in the manufacturing process.

Figure 2-20: Tape Output System.

Note: For additional information, refer to the TM-50 SMD Taping

Module User’s Guide that came with your Tape Output System.

CAUTION: Excessive Heat. Improper routing of the device tape

may cause enough heat to melt the tape. Ensure the correct rout-

ing path is followed. See the TM-50 SMD Taping Module User’s

Guide.

Note: The Tape Out System includes the Option Bay, the shuttle

transfer, and the Tape-Out-PNP head. These must already be

installed on the PS Machine before following the setup instructions

below. If it is not, contact Data I/O Customer Support or a local

Data I/O approved service representative.

To set up the Tape Output System:

1. Edit the winAH400.ini file for Tape Output—

1a. Using Windows Explorer, locate

C:\AH500\winAH400.ini

and m

ake a backup copy, for example,

WinAH400backup.ini

1b. Open the original file with Microsoft Notepad.

1c. Locate the line:

TapeOutPutInstalled=FALSE

and change it to True:

TapeOutputInstalled=TRUE

1d. Save the

winAH400.ini

file and exit Windows Explorer.

2. Preparation—

The information that

follows is adapted from

the TM-50 SMD Tap-

ing Module User’s

Guide that came with

your Tape Output Sys-

tem.

If you have previously

used Tape Output, you

may already have saved

a winAH400.ini file spe-

cifically for a Tape Out-

put setup.

For more ini file infor-

mation, see the

on-screen Help.

2a. The Tape Output System gets power and compressed air from

the PS System. Ensure the PS System air is connected and power

is On.

2b. Switch the Tape Output System ON by pulling out its

Power/E-stop button.

2c. Turn the take-up reel tension adjust knob counterclockwise to

zero. (Black knob on the controller.)

2d. Set the taping job parameters at the controller. For more infor-

mation see the TM-50 SMD Taping Module User’s Guide, chap-

ter 3, Controller.

3. Pull the nearest half of the track (table) out to the desired track

width. It stops at detents set to specific tape widths.

4. Mount the carrier tape reel—

4a. Remove the carrier tape quick lock from the carrier tape spindle.

Figure 2-21: Removing the spindle QuickLock.

4b. Mount the bulk carrier tape reel on the right spindle so the tape

unwinds from the top.

4c. Replace the quick lock.

4d. Trim the end of the carrier tape so it is clean and straight.

5. Route the carrier tape—

5a. Guide the carrier tape into the loading track. It should feed right

to left through the loading track easily.

Note: Lowering the feed reel support arm can reduce drag if the

angle at which the carrier enters the loading track is too steep.

5b. Bring the end of the carrier tape past the sealer and engage the

sprocket holes on the teeth of the drive sprocket.

If the carrier tape does not feed to the sprocket easily, see the

TM-50 SMD Taping Module User’s Guide, Chapter 4, Setup,

Route the Carrier Tape for items to check.

6. Mount the cover tape—

6a. Place a reel of cover tape of the correct width to match the carrier

tape on the cover tape spindle. The tape should unwind to the

right from the bottom of the reel.

about these steps, see the

TM-50 SMD Taping

Module User’s Guide.
