Æ Check to see whether the tape foil removal container for the X tape feeder module is full.

Open the flap (item 1). Pull out the cover foil and cut it with scissors or on the integral blade

(item 2) on 8 and 12 mm X tape feeder modules.

PLEASE NOTE 5

Never tear the cover foil. This can cause problems with the cover foil pull-off. There is an in-

tegral blade (item 2) for easily cutting the on the 8 and 12 mm X tape feeder modules.

Æ Check the multicolor status display (item 3 in Fig. 5.3 - 1).

– If it lights up green, the feeder module is on standby.

– If it lights up orange, it is signaling a warning. The text of the warning appears on the LCD

display (item 4 in Fig. 5.3 - 1

– If the status display lights up red, a malfunction has occurred. The error message ap-

pears on the LCD display (item 3 in Fig. 5.3 - 1

A list of the LCD and status displays on the operator panel is given in section 5.6

. 5

If the status display is off, the cause may be as follows: 5

– The feeder module is not in the current set-up.

– The feeder module is defective.

– The feeder module has been disabled (due to a drop in pressure, for example)

5.3.2 Checking the S feeder modules

Æ Make sure that the tape is correctly placed in the springs of the S feeder module.

Æ Check to see whether the tape foil removal container for the S feeder module is full.

If it is full, then pull out the foil and cut it off with scissors.

PLEASE NOTE

Tearing the foil instead of cutting it can lead to problems with the tape removal mechanism.

For this reason the 3 x 8 mm feeder modules are fitted with an integral cutter. This is in the

tape foil removal container at the end of the feeder module under the flaps. 5

Æ Check to ensure that the pick-up window on the feeder module is the right size for the compo-

nent.

Æ Check to see whether tape guides are inserted on combination feeder modules (24 mm /

32 mm).

Æ Check to see whether the additional plastic guide is inserted on combination feeder modules.

5.3.3 Splicing the tape in good time

PLEASE NOTE:

Splice the tapes early enough so that the feeder modules do not run out of components. Oth-

erwise you will experience prolonged down times.

However, do not splice the tapes too early because if you wind the end of the old tape onto

the new reel after splicing, the reel holding the new tape may become overfilled and the tape

will slip off the reel and become tangled up. This will again result in pick-up errors and pro-

longed down times. 5

5.3.4 Checking the PCB supports

Check the position of the magnetic PCB supports on the lifting table:

– Make sure that the PCB supports do not collide with components on the underside of the

PCBs.

– In addition, make sure that the PCB supports do not collide with the PCB conveyor pan-

els.
