2.2 Using "Parts Group No."
Use "Parts Group No." on the [Parts]-[Option] tab when components must be mounted in
a specific order, for example in the following cases.
1. Short (low profile) components should be mounted before mounting tall components to prevent the
nozzles from interfering with mounted components.
2. Components should be mounted on a component (chip on chip, etc.).
Components can be grouped by a number specified in the "Parts Group No." parameter.
When data optimization is executed after setting the "Parts Group No." parameter, the
mount sequence is determined so that a component group of the smallest number will be
mounted first. For example, when all components are classified into group 1 and group 2.
Components of group 2 are mounted after components of group 1 have been mounted. (In
the example below, component No. 6 (set to group 2) is mounted after other components
(set to group 1) have been mounted.
Set to "1" to mount
components first.
Set to "2" to mount
components after
group 1.

CAUTION
Numbers specified in the "Parts Group No." parameter determines the order of mounting
components, but this order is enabled only after executing data optimization. Always execute
data optimization to enable the "Parts Group No." parameter settings.
All components must be classified into any group, so a number of 1 or larger must be given to
the "Parts Group No." parameter of all components. For example, if you want to mount a kind of
components after other components have been mounted, set that kind of components to group
2 and all other components to group 1.

3. Mark parameters
3.1 Pattern matching
Pattern matching is a function for correcting PCB dimensional or reference hole errors,
positioning errors occurring from the PCB clamping mechanism, or local distortion of the
PCB. To use this function, the image of a particular PCB pattern must be registered as
the template. Errors or distortion are corrected by comparing the template you registered
with an actual pattern being recognized. Pattern matching is useful when the fiducial
function cannot be used, for example, if the PCB has no fiducial marks or the mark does
not match any recommended marks.

NOTE
Any pattern can be used, but the pattern image should be smaller than about 1/4th of the monitor and must meet
the following conditions.
Pattern conditions
• Each pattern clearly contrasts with the PCB. (It is okay if the outline of each pattern is definite.)
•A pair of patterns are diagonally opposing on the PCB.

CAUTION
Pattern matching requires a longer recognition time than normal mark recognition and its
accuracy may drops slightly when compared to cases using round or square marks. It is not
necessary to use pattern matching for marks which can be correctly recognized with "Algorithm
Type" set to "Normal".

3. Mark parameters
3.1.1 Pattern registration
To utilize pattern matching, you must register the reference pattern in the template.
1
Decide on the pattern.
Decide which pattern you want to use for pattern matching. Select a pair of patterns
that meet the conditions explained previously.
2
Enter the pattern name in the mark information.
Open the Mark screen and, in the Mark Name column, enter the name that you can
easily identify as a pattern.
3
Set the parameters.
Set the parameters as follows.
1.Set "Mark Type" of the Basic parameters to "Fiducial".
2.Set "Algorithm Type" of the Vision parameters to "PTRN Outline" or "PTRN
GrayLev".
• PTRN Outline:
In most cases, select this parameter for pattern matching. When the outline is
definite, the pattern can be recognized even if uneven brightness portions are
present inside the pattern.
• PTRN GrayLev:
Selecting this parameter is more effective in recognizing a pattern whose brightness
is uniform inside the pattern. Since the entire pattern is recognized, this parameter
setting requires a longer time than in the "PTRN Outline" setting and also the data
size will be larger.
• PTRN Whole:
Selecting this parameter is effective in acquiring details of a pattern image. Since
the entire pattern is recognized and less compressed, this parameter setting requires
a longer time than in the "PTRN GrayLev" setting and also the data size will be
even more larger.
Enter the pattern name.
Pattern setting
Set to "PTRN Outline", "PTRN GrayLev" or "PTRN Whole".
