SCREEN 36 Specify an Area badmark

The Area badmarks are manually entered with the MDF editor as panel

badmarks but they must be named as follows:

The Area badmarks can be used to make badmark processing fast, a Badmark

is only read if a higher level badmark is found ‘bad’, on a good PCB only the

highest level badmarks are read, at the moment the system determines that

these are OK it is allowed to place components on the underlying circuits. If

this is not the case then the machine will inspect the lower level badmarks, to

find out on which circuit(s) no parts have to be placed.

2.21 Common grouping functions in the MDF editor

These functions are available when grouping mode is active.

2.21.1 Add to Group

This function can be applied to both fiducial arrangement and badmark

groups. To add a fiducial/ step-and-repeat/ panel badmark etc. items, select

the group (dotted line) and the item to be added to the group. Click

Groups >

Add To Group. Now the selected part is added to the group.

2.21.2 Delete Group

This function can be applied to both fiducial arrangement and badmark

grouping. To delete the grouping either fiducial or badmark, select the

grouping (the dotted line) and then click

Groups > Delete Group.

2.21.3 Delete From Group

This function can be applied to both fiducial arrangement and badmark

grouping. To delete from the group, select the group (dotted line) and the

part to be deleted from the group. Click

Groups > Delete From Group. Now

the selected part is deleted from the group.

2.21.4 Select Group Items

This function can be applied to both fiducial arrangement and badmark

grouping. Select the group (dotted line) then click

Groups > Select Group

Items, now all the parts are selected which are set to the group.

2.22 Initial Panel component Height

In the MDF-Editor it’s possible to add the component height. The optimizer

will change the movement of the transport and head accordingly. This can

make a difference in output time because the traveltime will be

minimized.

(see SCREEN 37 on page 59)

SCREEN 37 Initial panel component height

Select the Panel and go to Modify/Attributes/Add and set manually the

component height. Repeat this for the bottom-side (by selecting the panel on

the bottom-side).

2.23 Verify the component data

SCREEN 38 Verify Data

If a CAD file was imported and not all the parts were present in the PSI file,

you can go to verify data, define them, and add them to the PSI file. If CAD

import resulted in unwanted classification ‘TH’ (=Through Hole) of SMD parts,

then re-import the PCB again, before proceeding with successive calculations.

For undefined packages check if the creation of an alias in PSI is possible

before creating an entirely new package definition. In the verify data function

it is possible to select either action. It is also possible to create alias names for

packages in the PSI file by means of the PSI editor (PIM). Another alternative

is to specify Alias names for existing names in a cad overrides file during cad

import.

2.24 Line Optimize Tab

NOTE: If Multiple Cells (combination of Powerline, GemLine and A-series machines

are used) or Multiple different vendor placement machines are used the tab

Optimize Line must be used to distribute the components over the line.

only one cell is in the line configuration (with no other machines in the line)

it is not necessary to do Optimize Line!
