2-8-4 Tact Simulation

Menu: Tool>TactSimulation

Tact simulation calculates approximate time required to run a program.

 Overview

Select a program

Click the Start button

View the result

Action:

 Selecting a Program

① In the Tact Simulation dialog box, click File>Open. The Select Program dialog box appears.

② Select a file with a click.

③ Click <OK> button.

 Executing Tact Simulation

Click <Start> button to execute tact simulation. Progress of the execution is indicated at the lower

part of the dialog box.

To abort execution, click <Cancel> button.

 Displaying the Result

The calculated tact time is shown at the middle of the Tact Simulation dialog box. (unit: ms) For

detailed results, click <Result> button. The following information will be displayed.

z Head tab

With respect to each head, counts of pickups, placements, image processes, and nozzle changes are

displayed.

z Time tab

Each operating time stated below is shown:

Pickup Time, Place Time, XY Move Time, Theta Wait Time, Image Shoot Time, Image Process

Time, Component Supply Time, Nozzle Change Time, FM/BM Time (Fiducial/Bad mark time),

and Total Time

z Warning tab

If a

warning message is provided, open this tab for detailed contents.

2-8-4-1 Customizing Tact Simulation

To obtain even accurate results or suit your specific programming, you can customize tact

simulation with various options. In the Tact Simulation dialog box, select Option>Set to open the

Set dialog box.

 Nozzle tab

Tact simulation collects nozzle information from the program, allocating nozzles to the ANC and

heads so the number of nozzles are minimized. This may, however, result in increased nozzle

changes. If necessary, add some nozzles in the following steps.

When you want to customize nozzle allocation, check [Keep this setting.] check box, and perform

as follows:

Action:

① Click a cell in the Nozzle column to enter nozzle name.

② Right-click the mouse and select [Nozzle Select] from the popup menu. The list of nozzles

appears.

③ Double-click a desired nozzle name from the list.

④ The selected nozzle name is entered into the cell.

To delete a nozzle name, right-click the mouse with the nozzle name selected and select [Delete]

from the popup menu.

Note: Nozzle setup will change the tact time. However, changes made here won’t be applied to the

parameter setting of the system.

 Feeder Type tab

Feeder types information is collected from the feeder library. You can edit [Feeder Type] and [Feed

Time] as follows:

① Click the record to edit.

② Right-click the mouse and select “Edit” from the provided list.

③ The editor window will appear. Edit [Feeder Type] using the provided combo box, [Feed

Time] by typing.

For information on the feeder drive method, see the Parts Feeders Instruction Manual. For standard

value for the record, click [Initialize] in the list. For standard value for all the records, click

[Initialize All] in the list.

 Actuator tab

In the Actuator tab, settings stated below can be changed: [PCB Clamp Time], [PCB Transfer Time],

and [ANC Slide Time].

Note: For the Actuator tab settings, you can use measurements obtained via Manual>Actuator>Timing.

 Simulation Cycle tab

Choose [Completion of PCB Clamp to Completion of Placement] or [Including PCB Clamp Time

and PCB Transfer Time] button. The feeder standard feed time here is applied to [Initialization] of

[Feeder Type].

 Image Process Time tab

Codes in this tab are related to the image library. This tab provides the following functions:

z Image process time for each code can be changed. (unit: ms)

z New codes can be added. Right-click the mouse and select [New] from the popup menu. The

New Image Code dialog box appears. Type in a code to the entry field. Or click <Image

Library> button to select a code from the image library. After entering a code, click <OK>

button. The dialog box is closed, and the code will be added.

z Codes can be deleted. Right-click the mouse with a code selected. Select [Delete] from the

popup menu. [Data will be deleted. OK?] appears. Click <OK> button.

z Finding and Arranging Image Codes

Menu: Find>Find

Find>Next

Find>Previous

Find>Sort

Finding an image code containing specified text:

Click Find>Find to open the Find dialog box. Under [Character String], enter the text you want to

find. To search downward from the current (active) cell, click <Next> button. To search upward,

click <Previous> button.

Clicking Find>Next/Previous allows for finding the next or previous searched item.

Arranging the registered image codes:

Click Find>Sort to open the Sort dialog box. Click <Descend> or <Ascend> and then click <OK>

button. Clicking <Ascend> button arranges image codes in ascending order.

Example: 1, 2, 3... a, b, c...

Clicking <Descend> button arranges reversely.

Note: Changes in codes here won’t be applied to Component Library of the system.
