TroubleshootingTable-InsertErrors
The following table lists possible error scenarios for insert errors.
Troubleshooting Table – Insert Errors | |||
Indicated Trouble | Probable Ca use | Corrective Action | |
1 | Component leads do not enterprinted circuit board. | Prin ted circuit board dril led incorrectly. | Replace out of tolerance printed circuit boards. |
Printed circuit board not properly located. | Correct board location problem. | ||
Pattern program coordinates are incorrect. | Enter correct coordinates. | ||
Machinezerosetup out of tolerance (X, Y,
head, or clinch axes). |
Refer to maintenance manual and set each
axis to specification. |
||
Incorrect offset values. | Enter correct offset values. | ||
BEC setup out of to lerance. | Referto maintenance section and set up
BEC. |
||
Worn tooling. | Replace worn tooling. | ||
Bent or out of spec input. | Correct badinput. Refer to Component Transfer Errors table. | ||
VCD Only: Centering mechanism out of adjustment. |
Refer to maintenance section and adjust centering mechanism. | ||
VCD and Radial Only: Incorrect component loaded in dispensing head. |
Load dispensing head with correct component. | ||
Radial Only:
