MYDATA automation AB Safety

Safety
Before starting the machine, it is necessary that the operator,
foreman and any other personnel involved in the machine operation,
maintenance or service understand and follow these points:

• This machine is designed to pick components from their packaging

and place them onto printed circuit boards, and to apply adhesive.
The machine must be used exclusively for these two purposes and
nothing else.

• The machine must be operated by trained personnel only.

• All personnel involved in machine operation must understand the
use of the emergency stop buttons and how to manually move
machine elements in case of emergency. See the sections entitled
Emergency Stop Buttons and Emergency Movement of Machine
Elements in this chapter.

• Anyone operating this machine must obey all warning signs. See
the Warning Signs section in this chapter.

• At least one manual that describes the warning signs of the

particular machine type must always be kept, for instance if the
machine is upgraded with a later TPSys version.

• Apart from the daily maintenance described in the Operator's

Manual, the machine is to be serviced by authorized maintenance
engineers only.

• Excess component tape from the tape magazines shall be cut from
the front of the machine when it is not in operation.

• Tools shall be inserted or removed from the rear of the machine

when the tool bank is located on the rear of the Y wagon. For
machines where the tool bank is located somewhere else, tools can
be changed from the front of the machine. When inserting or
removing tools to or from the tool bank, the emergency stop button
shall be pressed down.

• An emergency stop button shall be pressed down when a tool or

component is manually inserted or removed from the X wagon of
the machine.

• If there is a risk that any unauthorized personnel might alter the

system settings and thus the behaviour of the machine, then the
logon facility for individual access rights has to be used.

• Ensure that all covers and shields are intact, mounted and closed
while the machine is in operation.

• Do not disable or disengage any safety switch or sensor.

• Do not configure or modify MYDATA machines or devices without
consulting MYDATA. The machines, devices or the interfaces
between them might be unsafe.

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 1-1

Safety MYDATA automation AB

• Do not use chemicals or other substances which may have any

influence on the operator or other personnel involved in the
machine operation.

• Handle the CRT monitors carefully. They contain glass electron

tubes evacuated from air which may implode if damaged.

MYDATA automation AB Safety

Emergency Stop Buttons

All MYDATA placement machines have emergency stop buttons that
are red and stop all machine movements immediately when pressed
down.

All MY machines have two emergency stop buttons located at the

front of the machine frame. These emergency stop buttons are
released by being turned clockwise.

The TP9-2U machine has one emergency stop button located at the
front of the machine frame. This emergency stop button is released
by being pulled up.

Important
An emergency stop button must always be pressed down when hands,
fingers, tools or other objects are within a shielded area or in the risk
area of movable machine elements such as Y wagon or Tray Wagon
Magazine.

Emergency stop buttons on all MYDATA optional devices, such as

TEX Tray Exchanger and conveyor systems, have the same function,
that is to switch all motors off and release movable machine
elements.

Activating a stop system in an optional device, for instance opening

a TEX Tray Exchanger door, stops only the optional device. The
placement machine is not stopped by such an action.

Restart
To restart a machine after an emergency stop button has been
released, enter a command on the keyboard.

If an accident has occurred and an emergency movement of a

machine element is required, use the following procedure:
Learn this by heart!
1. Press both the emergency stop buttons down.

2. Leave the power on.

3. Move the machine element away by hand.

TP9-2U
On the TP9-2U machine, the X wagon, Y wagon, and Tray Wagon
can be moved manually after pressing the emergency stop button
down, provided that the power is on.

If an accident has occurred and an emergency movement of a

machine element is required, use the following procedure:
Learn this by heart!

Warnings in the Manual

Throughout the manual this symbol is used to call your attention to
commands that starts machine movements. The symbol refers to the
warning signs, which must be obeyed to eliminate the risk of injury.

If there are instructions accompanying this symbol, they must be

followed.

Also, to avoid damage, this symbol means that the operator must be
observant of the following:

Ensure that there are no foreign objects on the assembly table, near the
tool bank, or within the X wagon, Y wagon, or Tray Wagon Magazine
moving areas, and that the standard tool head and the HYDRA tools
are in their upper positions.

Noise
For all the MY machines, the equivalent continuous sound pressure
level is measured in accordance with EU directive 89/392/EEC to be
62dB(A).

Machine Operation
In this chapter system basics are described that you have to know in
order to be able to control the machine. After reading this chapter,
you can start assembling as described in the next chapter,
Assembling.

Basic Terminology
A pick-and-place machine is designed to pick electronic components
and place them in the correct position on a printed circuit board
(PCB). PCBs are found inside most electronic equipment, such as
personal computers, videos an so on.

X axis MY-machines are designed around a split-axis concept. A high speed

X wagon, moves from left to right (the X axis) at the top of the
machine.

Figure 2-1. X wagon

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 2-1

Machine Operation MYDATA automation AB

Z axis Mount heads are located on the X wagon. They move up and down
(the Z axis), and also rotate. Tools for the picking of components are
attached to these mount heads. There are the Single Mount Head
and the HYDRA mounthead.

Figure 2-2. Mount heads

Y axis Finally there is the Y wagon, moving “back and forth” on the
machine (the Y axis). This holds the PCBs to be assembled.

Figure 2-3. Y wagon

2-2 Rev. 0000 2004-01 P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual

MYDATA automation AB Machine Operation

Components are supplied in tape reels, component sticks, or on trays.

These are loaded into various magazines that position the component
in a pick position directly in the path of the X wagon. Magazines are
described in Chapter 4

Figure 2-4. Tape magazine

A Mount Cycle
– The magazine positions a component in the pick position.

– The X wagon moves above the magazine to the pick position.

– The mount head is lowered, and the component is sucked onto

the tool.

– The mount head lifts up the component, and the X wagon moves
over towards the Y wagon which carries the PCB.

– Each component must be placed with a very high precision.

Component positions, in tape-pockets or trays, can vary. The
tool may therefore pick components with some offset. To correct
this components are centered before placement. This can be
either mechanical or optical centering. During optical centering
the components position on the tool is measured via a camera
and adjusted for when placed. In mechanical centering, two
centering jaws push the component to the middle of the tool tip.
During centering the dimensions are measured. The mechanical
centering device can also measure the electrical properties of the
component.

– During the pick-up and centering movements, the Y wagon

carrying the PCB positions itself at the correct position for the
component to be placed.

– Finally, the mount tool lowers and places the component in the
correct position.

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 2-3

Machine Operation MYDATA automation AB

Machine Configuration
Machines can be configured with either an in-line conveyor system,
or a manual load system, to load or unload PCBs. These are further
detailed in Chapter 6.
On manual load systems (Y wagons) the PCBs are fixed into position
using magnetic supports. Any number of sizes or shapes can be
mounted simultaneously at any angle.

Figure 2-5. Manual Y wagon

The MYDATA machine can be an integral part of an in-line concept.

This makes use of an internal conveyor on the Y wagon together with
external conveyors. Empty PCBs can be loaded, transferred to the
machine, aligned, have components mounted and then transported
to an oven.

On in-line systems magnetic supports are also used. They prevent

boards from flexing during assembly.

2-4 Rev. 0000 2004-01 P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual

MYDATA automation AB Machine Operation

The in-line configuration is either Tee style or Pass through.

Figure 2-6. Tee style configuration

In Tee style the entire line passes along the back of the machine,
allowing the front to be accessible to the operator.

Figure 2-7. Pass through configuration

In Pass through style the line passes through the machine. This style
have the advantage of using shorter conveyors than the Tee style.

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 2-5

Machine Operation MYDATA automation AB

Operating Controls
MYDATA component placement machines are entirely processor
controlled. All functions are controlled using keyboard, machine
keypad and joystick. Two or three monitors display menus, current
processes and messages. Some of the features can also be run off-line.

The assembly process is controlled by software called TPSys that

takes information from numerous lists. These lists contain
information about the components, their packages, the magazine in
which the components can be found, and where the components are
to be placed.

Mount programs, component, package, and magazine lists, operating

data and system parameters are stored on an internal hard disk.
Assembly, magazine and user information can be shared by many
MYDATA machines provided that these machines are equipped with
the TPSys network option.

The system, and thereby the machine, is controlled using keyboard,

trackball, machine keypad and joystick (located on the machine),
barcode reader, and monitors.

The trackball controls the X and Y movements of the machine and is
operational when the cross hairs are shown on the monitor.

The trackball buttons have the following functions:

• Pressing the left button, restrict movements to the Y axis only.

• Pressing the right button restrict movements to the X axis only.
• Pressing both buttons together increase the trackball movement
speed by five times.

In some modes <F1> must be pressed to activate the trackball. A

message is shown when this is the case.

Joystick
The joystick has the same function as the trackball on the keyboard,
that is to locate board fiducial marks, magazine feeders and tray
positions.

The joystick is operational when cross hairs are shown on the

monitor.

In some modes <F1> must be pressed to activate the joystick. A

message is shown when this is the case.

Both the trackball and joystick are also used when programming

Machine Keypad
Each of the MY series of machines has two machine keypads with
30 keys located on the machine frame.

TP9-2U has a single machine keypad with 18 keys, also located on

the machine frame.

Other machine types have machine keypads with either 18 or

30 keys.

The machine keypads have the major operational commands for

assembling PCBs. The machine keypads are shown in Figure 2-9.

The keyboard and the machine keypads have parallel functions.

The machine keypad differs from the keyboard in that it lacks

alphabetical keys. On the other hand, commands that require many
keystrokes on the keyboard, can be given with a single keystroke.

The key functions, with the exception of the numerical and arrow
keys, are detailed on page 2-10.

Tape magazines
There are three different tape magazine families available for
MYDATA pick and place machines.

– The Agilis type of magazines use removable feeders (see

page 4-13), bringing the components to the placement head. It
makes loading and reloading of components fast and easy. The
removable feeder is an intelligent unit, which can be loaded with
a component tape before it is inserted into the magazine. The
feeders are easily moved from one feeder position to another, as
well as between Agilis magazines.

– The TM magazine is a tape magazine with fixed feeders. It is

available for tape sizes from 8mm to 56mm.

– The TM Flex magazines is a magazine that provides a flexible,

non-permanent configuration. It allows the mix of various
feeder sizes in a single magazine. The tapes are loaded and
unloaded in these magazines in the same manner as the TM
magazines.

Agilis Magazines
Two types of Agilis magazines are available. The linear type (ALM)
and the non-linear type (AM).

Figure 4-1. Agilis tape magazines

The Agilis Linear Magazine 8 (ALM8) and Agilis M8 (AM8) use the
same feeders. They take the same number of tapes and feeders, that
is a total of 16 reels and feeders each.

The ALM1216 magazine is for 12 and 16mm wide tape and have eight
feeder positions. Feeders for 12 and 16mm tape can be mixed freely
within this magazine.

4. Place the feeder in any empty feeder position.

Figure 4-5. Installing feeder into the magazine

5. Push the feeder down until it locks in position (see Figure 4-5).
It is very important that you ensure that the feeder wheel teeth
engage the component tape perforations on Agilis AM8. Just
before locking the feeder in place, pull on the tape gently
forwards and backwards to ensure it has engaged the feeder
wheel teeth correctly.
On the ALM-magazines all adjustments will be handled by the
machine as there are no feeder wheels.

6. Gently push the safety clamp down.

The purpose of the safety clamp is to prevent you from putting your
fingers between the feeder and the mount tool, which could cause
serious injuries.

It is very important that:

– All the feeders are locked in position.

– The safety clamp is pushed all the way down.

If not, the mount tool might hit the feeders and cause serious damage
to the machine.

Choosing Agilis feeder

The Agilis feeder is an intelligent, removable unit in which you load
the component tape before inserting it into the magazine. Feeders
can easily be moved from one feeder position to another.

The feeder has a barcode and a unique ID number, which is also

stored in its electronic part, see Figure 4-17. Hereby TPSys identifies
the feeder, which type of component it holds and defines in which
feeder position of the magazine it is placed.

Figure 4-17. Feeder barcode and electronic part

The Agilis feeders are made in different fixed sizes to fit various
component tapes. There are also adjustable feeders which can be
adjusted to fit all kind of tape variations.

The fixed sizes are categorized based upon how much of the
component tape they expose. For example Agilis feeder 4.7 expose
4.7mm of the tape. The adjustable feeders are categorized in the
same way by the range they can handle.

There are a number of different Agilis feeders available:

• 3.7 Green – Very narrow rail
• 4.0 White – Narrow rail.
• 4.7 Yellow – Standard rail.
• 5.4 Red – Wide rail.
• 3.7-5.5 Black – Adjustable 3.7 to 5.5mm for 8mm tape
• 8.5 Yellow – Standard rail for 12mm tape.
• 12.5 Yellow – Standard rail for 16mm tape.
• 7.5-9.5 Black – Adjustable rail 7.5mm to 9.5mm for 12mm tape
• 9.5-13 Black – Adjustable 9.5mm to 13.0mm for 16mm tape

An adjustable feeder 9.5-13 is depicted in Figure 4-18

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 4 - 13

Magazines – Loading MYDATA automation AB

Figure 4-18. Adjustable feeder

The difference is the width of the rail stripping the cover tape from
the component tape. The reason for this is that cover tapes vary in
width for different component tapes. To make sure the cover tape is
efficiently stripped, it is important to choose the right feeder.
The table below shows the recommended feeders for common
packages and tape widths.

Agilis feeder 8 Agilis feeder 1216

Tape width Component package

You have most likely chosen a suitable Agilis feeder if:

– The component is exposed and can be picked in the pick position.
– One side of the cover tape stays attached to the component tape
after the pick position.

Tape and Vibratory magazines

After the magazines have been loaded and inserted into the machine,
their contents must be updated in the system.

Connecting Agilis Feeder to Component Type

There are five ways to inform TPSys which type of component is
inserted in a specific Agilis feeder:

• TPSys barcode reader.

• Removable Feeder List Editor.
• Magazine List Editor.
• Magazine Kit list.
This list store information about the contents of the magazines
used for various layouts. Prior to the next assembling, load the
magazines as detailed on the printout and apply the Magazine Kit.
See page 5-44 for more information on Magazine Kits.

• MYLabel
MYLabel keeps track of component carriers (tapes, sticks) used in
production by use of barcodes. See the MYLabel User's Manual for
more information.
If MYLabel 2.0 is installed, then component loading must be done
by using the MYLabel 2.0 barcode reader.

Using TPSys barcode reader

The most convenient way is to use the optional TPSys barcode
reader:

1. Make sure the barcode function is activated, see page 5-51.

2. Scan the barcode on the component reel.
3. Scan the barcode on the Agilis feeder.
You will hear a beep and the connection is completed.

This reading can be done on stand-alone data servers so that more

operations can be carried out simultaneously. Note that the barcode
option must have been purchased for at least one of the machines on
the network.

Using Removable Feeder List and Magazine List Editor

The Removable Feeder List shows which component type is loaded
into a specific Agilis feeder. See the Removable Feeder List Editor on
page 5-3.

The Agilis Magazine is a tape magazine and included in the Tape and

Automatic Location of Inserted Magazines

If the machine picks from magazines that have not been properly
located, it may lead to missed picks. TPSys will therefore locate all
magazines automatically before picking.

Every time a magazine is inserted it is marked as not located. If

TPSys fails to locate the magazine automatically while assembling,
the magazine is disabled and a Message log message and an operator
alert is generated. The assembly continues using other magazines.

The Operator must locate the magazine to engage it again and finish
the layout. If automatic location of the magazine fails in interactive
situations the operator is asked to locate the magazine manually.

Phase Displacement – Agilis AM8

It is possible to load a standard, 4mm pitch component tape so that
the placement head will try to pick from between the component
pockets. This is known as a phase displacement.

Figure 5-7. Phase displacement

This can be adjusted by making a small (2mm) step with the feeder
in the adjust feeder position operation. Select the Jog option, in the
top left menu of the screen. This will move the pick position on the
tape back into phase with the placement head.

If the phase displacement remains when the component picking

begins, a step error recovery feature in TPSys will automatically
start. After a few unsuccessful attempts to pick components, the
magazine will take a 2mm step before returning to normal 4mm
steps, provided the placement head finds the component.

The ALM type magazines will correct any phase displacements like
this automatically.

Barcode Readers
A TPSys barcode reader (optional) can be used to scan component
data when loading magazines or removable Agilis feeders (see
page 5-2).

In addition to the barcode reader, two barcode labels are provided by

MYDATA, one of which is necessary for using this feature with older
types of magazines, see page 5-52 and page 5-53.

The magazine barcodes must be linked to the magazine names, and

the component barcodes must be linked to the component names, see
page 5-54 and 5-56.

Part numbers for the Magazine Barcode Labels and the Auxiliary
Barcode Label are found in the Spare Parts Catalog.

This description is valid for the UBI ScanPlus ER barcode reader.

Stand alone server

The functionality described herein is also available on stand-alone
data servers so that more operations can be carried out
simultaneously. It is for instance possible to scan data for one layout
while another is being assembled in the machine.

The barcode option must have been purchased for at least one of the
machines on the network.

MYLabel
There is also a MYLabel facility available from MYDATA. MYLabel
is an efficient tool for reading component names and keeping order
of remaining component quantities. The MYLabel facility is run on a
separate Windows 95/98/NT system.

MYLabel 2.0
MYLabel 2.0 keeps track of all individual reels and sticks, called
Component Carriers. As TPSys currently do not support the Carrier
function this information is stored in a PC database.

To ensure that the MYLabel database is valid, component loading and

unloading, must be done by using the MYLabel 2.0 barcode reader.
Loading magazines with the Kit list or by importing data will break
the link between the Carrier database and the Component list in
TPSys.

For further information about MYLabel, contact MYDATA.

The following description does not include the MYLabel

facility.

MYDATA automation AB Board Handling

Board Handling
Different board handling systems are available for the MYDATA pick
an place machines. The board handling systems operate on the so
called Y-axis. The machine can have a manual board handling system
or an automated in-line conveyer system.

This chapter details:

• Manual Load systems

• In-line systems

Safety
Both the Manual Load system and In-line system is controlled by the
machines safety system. Press any of the Emergency stop buttons
and the Y wagon will stop.

Hoods cover the Y wagon and internal conveyors to ensure that no

foreign objects, hands or fingers are within the risk area. Safety
switches are mounted on these hoods. The switches will stop any
machine movements whenever the hood is opened.

Figure 6-1. Hood safety switch

Always press down an emergency stop button before opening a hood

to ensure maximum safety.

Manual Load System

A Manual Load system holds the PCB in the machine. It can hold
PCBs of different sizes and/or shapes simultaneously. Unused areas
on the load table can be used for component trays.

Figure 6-5. Magnetic supports

Magnetic supports come in varying sizes and models as can be seen

in Figure 6-5. Each support handles one PCB on either side.
Card support pins ensure that you avoid card flexing during
mounting. Flexing cards means a lower mounting accuracy and
decrease the mounting speed considerably. It is therefore better to
use a number of supports, especially if the PCB is large and/or thin.

Board Handling MYDATA automation AB

In-Line Systems
In-line systems are conveyor systems available as Tee style or Pass
through.
Empty PCBs are loaded, transferred to the machine, aligned,
populated with components, and then transferred to an oven for
soldering.

In both systems the PCB is carried on an internal conveyor on the

Y wagon. External conveyors carry the boards to and from the
machine. There are also board loaders and unloaders that can be
integrated into the system.

It is also possible to use a ML adapter (Manual load table). This

allows the in-line machine to be used for stand alone assembly. It sits
between the two conveyor rails on the internal Y wagon conveyor.

Tee Style
The Tee style system has all external conveyors passing along the
rear of the machine.

Figure 6-7. Tee style

The internal conveyor fetches a PCB from the external conveyor and
brings it into position. When the machine has placed the components,
then the internal conveyor takes the PCB back out to the external
conveyor, picks a new PCB, and so on.

Pass Through
As the name implies, this system has conveyors passing through the
machine. There is the choice of having the line going through the
center, or either end of the machine.

Figure 6-8. Pass through

Pass through use shorter conveyors, and therefore overall line length
can be kept down.

In this system the external conveyor delivers the PCB up to the

Y wagons internal conveyor. The internal conveyor grabs the PCB,
aligns it in the machine and then releases the PCB onto the next
external conveyor after component placement.

Handling Boards in In-Line Systems

The handling of boards in the in-line systems is similar whether it is
Tee style or Pass through.

The internal conveyor shall normally grab and load boards

automatically. This is set in the 1004 Conveyor switches, see Switches
in Appendix A.

Handling boards manually

Sometimes you must run the internal conveyor manually.
Select the Production menu and then Conveyor Control.

Select action from the menu:

• Conveyor Load/Grab
Loads a new board, adjusts the position (for automatic fiducial
mark search), and grabs the board.

• Conveyor Release & Unload

Releases the board and moves it out of the machine.

• Set Conveyor Width

This feature only affects the Y-wagon conveyor on the machine.
Surrounding conveyor system is not affected. The feature is used
to:

– Read off the current conveyor width, which is shown after

selecting this menu option. If a layout is loaded, the board width
is shown (zero is shown for a board which has no board size set).

– Set the conveyor width by typing the conveyor width in the

dialog box and confirming it. The conveyor will change to the
new width after emptying present boards, if not empty.

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 7-1

Tools MYDATA automation AB

Standard Mount and Glue Tools

A standard mount tool consists of a tube mounted in a cylinder. The
tool is held in the tool head by two O-rings on the cylindrical section
of the tool. The O-rings should be lubricated to avoid drying out.

The mount tool is connected to an air pump and to a vacuum pump

via valves. A negative pressure for holding components as well as an
over pressure to quickly release components can thus be provided
through the tool.

Mount tools must be kept free from dirt and foreign particles to
prevent the tube from being blocked.

Standard mount tools are available with spring loaded or stiff tubes.
Tools are available in black or bare metal color. Black tools are used
to achieve a better contrast at optical centering of components.

Figure 7-1. Stiff tools

Figure 7-2. Spring tools

Tools for applying glue have the same cylindrical upper section, but
a solid shaft instead of a hollow tube. There are also custom designed
tools available like tools with flat pipe nozzles for connectors.

Tool installation is detailed in the Machine Manual.

HYDRA Mount Tools

The HYDRA unit is a speed placement unit with eight mount tools.

The mount tools are connected to an air pump and to a vacuum pump
via individual valves. A negative pressure for holding components
and an over-pressure to quickly release components can thus be
provided individually through the eight mount tools.

The eight HYDRA mount tools can be moved downwards and

upwards in common or individually. Eight components can thus be
picked from a magazine either simultaneously or individually and
then be placed individually.

The HYDRA unit can pick components from the Agilis, TM8, TM8F,
TM12, TM16 and TM1216, TM-flex, and vibratory magazines.

The HYDRA mount tools consist either of a plain tube (H00) or a

tube with a changeable nozzle (H01 – H06), see the figure.

These tools can be used for the following packages (further packages
may have been added after issuing this manual):

• H00 (plain tube) for the 0603 – 1210 package range and smaller
SOIC packages.

• H01 (white) for the 0402 – 1206-06 package range.

• H02 (yellow) for the same packages as H00.
H00 H01 H02 H03 H04
• H03 (red) for 1206 – 2512 chip packages and for SC-59, SO8, SO14,
SOT89, SOT223, SSOP20, SSOP24, SSOP28, and M3216 – M7343
packages.

• H04 (blue) for 0603 – 1206 chip packages, MELF3514, SOD-80 and
SOT-23 packages. This tool has a rubber tip designed to handle
round components as well as tall capacitors.

• H06 (brown) for 0201 – 0402 package range.

Mount tools must be kept free from dirt and foreign particles to
prevent the tubes from being clogged up.

Tool replacement is detailed in the Machine Manual and has to be

carried out by service personnel.

MYDATA automation AB Tools

The HYDRA Speedmount ATE System

HYDRA Speedmount ATE, Automatic Tool Exchanger, is a system
for changing HYDRA tools automatically.

Each tool is held in place on the tool tube by two O-rings. This
ensures that the tool is always properly aligned and can be replaced
without re-calibrating the HYDRA unit.

Figure 7-6. HYDRA tool tube

The HYDRA tools are stored in a HYDRA tool bank when not in use.
When the tools are to be exchanged, the HYDRA unit moves to the
bank and the tools are exchanged.

Each tool resides in an own position in the tool bank.

The first tool tube (position 1 in the HYDRA unit) fetches a tool from
one of the two tool slots with index number 1 in the tool bank, see
Figure 7-7. The second tool tube (position 2 in the HYDRA unit)
fetches from one of the slots marked 2 and so on.

Inserting HYDRA tools automatically

When inserting HYDRA tools automatically, you manually apply the
tools to the tool tubes on the HYDRA unit and let the HYDRA unit
place them into the tool bank.

Do not manually insert a tool into an installed HYDRA tool bank

because the HYDRA unit will, most certainly, bend the tool tube.

For optimal speed and efficiency we recommend you to have only one
type of HYDRA tools (H01, H02, H03, H04, or H06) in each bank row.

Operational Features MYDATA automation AB

Board Location
The purpose of this feature is to locate boards on the assembly table.
Positions and angles are determined by centering board fiducial
marks.

There are two ways of locating boards:

1. Manual fiducial mark search.

Manual fiducial mark search is used when the board positions on
the assembly table differ more than a couple of mm from the
previous boards, for instance after changing layout.

Boards can be marked as non-present during the manual fiducial

mark search.

A graphic overlay of the fiducial mark is shown on the screen

when locating boards manually, provided the system has learned
the mark.

2. Automatic fiducial mark search.

Automatic fiducial mark search is used when the board on the
assembly table are positioned within a couple of mm from the
previous positions, for instance after changing boards in the
same layout.

Manual and automatic fiducial mark search are detailed on the

following pages as well as deviations of the fiducial mark positions,
and switches for the board location feature.

Fiducial mark search commands cause machine movements. Before

entering these commands check the following:

Ensure that there are no foreign objects on the assembly table, near the
tool bank, or within the X wagon, Y wagon, or Tray Wagon Magazine
moving areas, and that the standard tool head and the HYDRA tools
are in their upper positions.

8-2 Rev. 0000 2004-01 P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual

MYDATA automation AB Operational Features

Manual Fiducial Mark Search

Manual fiducial mark search is used when the board positions differ
more than a couple of mm from the previous positions.

Boards can be marked as non-present during this procedure (detailed

on page 8-10).

A graphic overlay of the fiducial mark is shown on the screen when

locating boards manually. When locating small fiducials manually,
the graphics drawn can conceal too much of the fiducial and make the
adjustment difficult. It is therefore possible to toggle the graphics
marking on and off using <CTRL-F3>.

Manual fiducial mark search can be carried out either directly from
the main menu or via the assembling menu. Both ways are described
below.

Automatic Fiducial Mark Search

Automatic fiducial mark search can be used when the board positions
are within a couple of mm from the previous positions.

The procedure is similar to the manual fiducial mark search, but

there are two major differences:

– Automatic fiducial mark search is performed without

confirming each fiducial mark manually.

– The camera is moved the shortest way between the fiducial

marks, not in board or fiducial mark order.

Automatic fiducial mark search can be carried out either directly

from the main menu or via the assembling menu. Both ways are
described below.

From the main menu

MYDATA automation AB Operational Features

An automatic fiducial mark search and position calibration is

performed, provided that:

– The Automatic fiducial mark search switch is set to Yes, see

page 8-14.

– The board positions are within a couple of mm from the previous

boards.

– The fiducial marks are learned by the system (see Chapter 8 in

the Programming Manual).

If the automatic fiducial mark search fails, the system switches

temporarily to manual fiducial mark search. Use joystick or trackball
to center the failing fiducial mark. The system will then continue the
automatic search for the remaining fiducial marks.

The board position variation is limited by the size of the scan area
defined in the Verify area X size and Y size variables in the Fiducial
Mark List (described in Chapter 8 of the Programming Manual).

0009 Max accepted board angle deformation

This parameter is only applicable to boards with three fiducial
marks. It defines, in degrees, accepted angle deviation between the
measured angle and the programmed angle for two axes which cross
the three fiducial marks as shown in the figures.

If the defined deviation is exceeded, then the error box above is

shown. The board can be either accepted (Yes) or rejected (No).

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 8-9

Operational Features MYDATA automation AB

Marking Board As Non-Present

The purpose of this feature is to be able to temporarily skip a board,
or a couple of boards, included in a multi-board layout, and to do it
easy and quickly without changing switches, board programming, or
layout settings.

If you, for instance, intend to mount 100 boards in a tree-board

layout, you get one single board left after 33 mounted layouts. Now,
you can use the same three-board layout for the last board by
marking two boards as non-present.

At manual fiducial mark search, non-present marking is performed

prior to assembling. Until a non-present marking is cleared, the
marked board will not be subjected to automatic fiducial mark
search, glue application, or component mounting.

An alternative to the description below is altering the PCB status in

a loaded layout by using the Panel Editor (described in the Panel
Editor section in Chapter 7 of the Programming Manual).

Automatic Non-Present Board Detection

There is a non-present board detection feature in TPSys that
automatically sets non-present status for boards which really are
missing in layouts.

If this feature is on and the camera cannot measure any contrast on

the position where the first fiducial mark should have been
positioned, then the board is automatically marked as non-present.

The automatic non-present board detection feature is set to on/off by

the Automatic switch (description on page 8-14).

Clears all data in the event log for the machine selected in a dialog
box shown.

The event log is a database where system events (for instance

start/stop, logon/logoff, magazine insert/extract, components
mounted, tool information and errors) are stored. By using the
TPSys Export feature this database can be used for evaluation of
management and quality data outside TPSys.

Delete Management Data

Deletes the management data for a selected layout. The management
data for the currently loaded layout cannot be deleted.

This command is intended to be used when cleaning up the system.

If you want to clear the management data only for the currently
loaded layout, then use the Clear Management Data option in the
Production menu instead, see page A-6.

See the Deleting Management Data section in Chapter 8 of the

Operator's Manual.

MYDATA automation AB Appendix A – Menu Reference Guide

The switches included in the four switch groups are described below
in the same order as in the previous table.

1001 Test switches

0003 Mechanical test

Yes – Components with the Verify mechanical entry set to Yes in
the Package List are verified mechanically.

No – No components are verified mechanically.

0004 Test of Z level when place

Yes – A plausibility check of the height level is performed and the
actual placement height is compared to the package Height
overall level in the Package List. This comparison also
considers the 0021.0305 Place level tolerance parameter to
compensate the height of solder paste under the component.

This feature detects if a component was never picked up

from the magazine, has dropped from the mount tool or was
placed on top of another component.

No – The height level is not measured when placing components.

0005 Test of Z level when pick

Yes – The same function as the previous switch, but in this case it
is checked if the component pick from magazine feeder or
tray is done within the height limits. The limits are set by
the package Height overall entry in the Package List and the
0021.0105 Pick level tolerance parameter.

This feature detects if a component for instance is missed in

the magazine.

No – The height level is not measured when picking components.

0006 Test of Z vacuum

Yes – The vacuum in the mount tool is checked to confirm that a
component is held by the tool. This applies to all components
except those for which the Vacuum test is set to No in the
Package List.

No – No vacuum test is performed.

P-020-0023-EN Operator’s Manual Rev. 0000 2004-01 A - 29

Appendix A – Menu Reference Guide MYDATA automation AB

Electrical test

0001 Test
Yes – Electrical verification is performed on components for which
electrical verification is defined in the Component List. It is
also required that:

1.There is a centering phase defined in the package list

which has the same angle as the test specified in the
Component List.
2.The package is set to Verify electrical Yes for this centering
phase in the package list.

No – No components are verified electrically.

0008 Perform test after magazine inserted

Yes – If a magazine is removed and then inserted again, then it
resets the counter used by the 0002 No. of successful test
before HYDRA test switch. This counter sets how many
components to be tested with the standard mount tool,
before HYDRA mounting is started.

No – If a magazine is removed and then inserted again, then the

counter used by the 0002 No. of successful test before
HYDRA test switch continues from the current value. If a
sufficient number of components already had been tested by
the standard mount tool before the magazine was removed,
then the HYDRA mounting will continue immediately as the
magazine is inserted again.

0002 No. of successful test before HYDRA

Defines a number of HYDRA mountable components which will be
picked with the standard mount tool, tested with the centering jaws,
and mounted on the board before the HYDRA unit continuous
mounting the components.

The number applies to each magazine feeder that holds HYDRA

mountable components. If, for example, there are 16 feeders that
hold HYDRA mountable components and this parameter is set to 2,
then 32 components will be tested and mounted with the standard
mount tool before the HYDRA starts mounting the components.

This parameter affects HYDRA mountable components only, that is

components for which a tool is specified in the HYDRA tools field in
the Package List.

MYDATA automation AB Appendix A – Menu Reference Guide

0020 Measure component after test

Yes – After passing the electrical verification, a new electrical
measurement is performed on the component and the
measured value from this measurement is stored in the
event log.

This feature requires also that:

1.The Save electric value entry in the PCB editor is set to

Yes.
2.The 0024 Electrical measurement parameter in the 0191
Options parameter group is set to Yes.

3.The magic word includes this optional feature.

No – No electrical measurement of the component is performed.

0021 Use enhanced electric measure

Yes – If the previous 0020 Measure component after test switch is
set to Yes, then the component value is measured as many
times as set in the 0051 Number of measurements parameter
in the 0111 Verifier parameter group. Then, a mean value
and standard deviation is calculated and stored in the event
log.

No – The measured value described in the previous switch, 0020

Measure component after test, is stored in the event log.

0007 Lamp timeout

Sets the camera light idle time when, for instance, centering fiducial
marks and positioning components. If the machine is left during such
a procedure, the light is switched off after the time set. Pressing a key
on the keyboard or moving the trackball or joystick turns it on again.

The time unit is seconds.

1002 Assembly switches

Bad board test

0002 Automatic
This switch has effect only if the switch named Check panels for bad
boards is set to Yes.

Yes – An automatic bad board search is performed, that is the

camera is moved to the position specified for bad board
marks and searches for a mark.

No – The system does not perform automatic bad board search.

0001 Check panels for bad boards

Yes – The system searches for bad board marks on the PCBs
included in the panel.

No – The system does not search for bad board marks.

0010 Use bad board mark on panel

In order to save time, this feature makes it possible to mark a panel
to indicate that there are at least one bad PCB in the panel. Panels
and bad boards are marked using bad board marks.

Yes – The system checks if there are bad board marks on panels.

If a bad board mark is found on a panel, all the PCBs

included in the panel are checked.

If no bad board is found on a panel, the next board in the

layout is checked. If there are no more boards, then the bad
board search procedure is finished.

No – The system does not check if there are bad board marks on
panels, but on all included PCBs.

This feature saves most time when there are many PCBs included in
the panels and bad boards are of rare occurrence.

asking for the ‘PCB id’ for each PCB.

Yes – The ‘PCB id’ can be entered manually by typing it, or by

using the hand-held barcode reader.

No – The ‘PCB id’ cannot be entered manually.

0027 Auto generate on panels

Yes – The system accepts only one identity code per panel. From
this identity code it generates identities for all the PCBs in
the panel. The syntax of the generated identity codes is
‘panelId_boardNo’ where ‘boardNo’ is the board number in
the panel.

No – The system does not generate identities for the PCBs in the
panel.

Warning switches

0019 Min component distance in PCB editor

If the center-to-center distance between two components that are to
be placed on a PCB is below what is specified by this switch, then a
warning is shown.

0021 Overlapping board warning

Yes – Warns when the location of two boards on the assembly
table are calculated to overlap each other (if you, for
instance, have located two boards on the same fiducial
marks).

No – No warning is shown for overlapping boards on the assembly

table.

Measure board level

0011 Always
Switch for board level measurement.

Do not mix boards of different thickness in the same layout.

Yes – The board level is measured once for each time the layout is
assembled.

No – The board level can be measured according to the next

switch 0012 When new layout is loaded.

0012 When new layout is loaded

MYDATA automation AB Appendix A – Menu Reference Guide

Assemble

0004 Use local fiducial marks

Yes – Local fiducial mark search is performed automatically for
components prior to placing, provided the Local fiducial
marks in the PCB Editor is set to 1, 2, or 3.

No – Local fiducial mark search is off.

See the PCB Editor section in Chapter 7 of the Programming

Manual.

0005 Invert meaning of comp. mount/glue flags

Yes – Only components for which Mount is set to No in the
Component List are mounted. This switch inverts thus the
function of the Mount field in the Component List.

No – Components for which Mount is set to No in the Component

List are not mounted.

See the Mount and Glue Switches section in Chapter 8 of the

Operator's Manual.

0020 Max component height on PCB

Using this switch, the operator can inform the system about the
maximum height of components on the PCB that are not included in
the current mount lists and thus not known by the system.

Normally the system knows the height and position of every

component on the PCB from the package database and from the
mount lists. This is important for optimizing the speed and allowing
simultaneous X and Z movement, without hitting components on the
PCB.

1003 Bad board search

0001 Contrast level

Sets a limit, above which the detected contrast is regarded as high.
The value must be set so that the program can differentiate between
the label and the background (one is detected as ’low’, the other as
’high’).

The contrast level must not be confused with light intensity level.
High contrast means big difference in light intensity between the
lightest and the darkest parts of an area.
For safe detection of bad board labels, there must be significant
contrast difference between the labels and the backgrounds.
R2 This figure shows a contrast level diagram for a scanned line. The
diagram shows that the label has low contrast and is placed on a high
contrast area. The 0001 Contrast level parameter can be set rather
low. The 0021 Contrast means board OK parameter should be set to
Yes to detect a bad board label.

This figure shows a label with high contrast, placed on a board with
low contrast. The 0001 Contrast level parameter can be set rather
R2 high. The 0021 Contrast means board OK parameter should be set to
No to detect a bad board label.

Y Bad board area

X
0011 X size
The distance between the two X coordinates of the area in which a
R2 bad board mark is searched for.

Y Should be smaller than the label size.

0012 Y size
X The distance between the two Y coordinates of the area in which a
bad board mark is searched for.

Should be smaller than the label size.

0021 Contrast means board OK

Yes – If the contrast for the bad board mark search area is high
(higher than the level set in the 0001 Contrast level
parameter), then the board is good and will be mounted.

This is the normal setting and means that the bad board
label has less contrast than the board, for instance a white
label.

No – Inverted contrast, a high-contrast search area means a bad

board.

This setting can be used if you mount boards with no

contrast. You can attach high-contrast labels to mark bad
boards, or simply mark bad boards with black ink directly on
the board.
