4. PCB Information Editing
In File List interface, select the file to edit,enter to PCB Information interface, as show in the figure:
First, set the track width,adjust the track width according to the actual PCB width(usually actual PCB width plus
1mm),click Width Set,follow the prompt window to check whether back to zero condition are met.After back to zero, the
track width will be adjusted.After placing the PCB on the track,gently push the PCB back and forth by hand to confirm that
the PCB has a small gap of about 1mm in the track, so that the PCB can pass smoothly.
Secondly,set PCB Forward Position(note:Mag Fixture mode does not need to set Forward Position),click Align,select the
Forward Position according to the image recognized by Mark camera,select the Alignment Method nozzle 1, click save and
back,Forward Position is recorded ans saved.
4.1 PCB Forward Setting
There are three ways in PCB Forward Setting---Mag Fixture,Tracks,Long Tracks
（1）Mag fixture
Select tray to fix the board feeding mode, place the PCB to be installed in the proper position in the mounting area, and then
click "top plate control" to fix the PCB.
（2）Tracks
Select the “Tracks”on PCB Feed Setting interface:

16
Tracks width setting:Set correct PCB width value until the PCB can move smoothly
PCB Feed Test:Put PCB to “Tracks Section 1”,Click “forward”, PCB will move to “Tracks section 2” and stop at the
cylinder thimble position through the sensor,cylinder will raise the PCB, then thimble will go down, PCB feeding complete.
（3）Long Tracks
Select the “Long Tracks”on PCB Forward Setting interface, first enter the number of track segments(each segment
corresponds to a file, the number of the file is corresponding to the number of the segment).Take 3-segment files as an
example, for first file, the number of segment is input 1;for second file,the number of segment is input 2;for third file, the
segment is input 3.
Secondly, set the board Forward Position. When editing long tracks file, only for first file, you need to set Forward
Position,for second file and third file, you do not need to set Forward Position.Finally,click Forward,the track will transport
PCB to the position of cylinder thimble. The blocking pin will block the PCB.The cylinder thimble will raise the PCB. The
blocking pin will return. The board feeding is completed.
The operation method of long tracks placement is as following: (1)In the long track mode(placement of three sections),
three separate files need to be edited.(2)the naming requirements are as follows:add an underscore after the second file
name and the third file name(the underscore is English format)+the corresponding number of the file, there can not be any
space in the file name, the file name is as follows:
When want to do mount of the finished working file,need choose the phase 1 file(e.g. long),then click mount.(the long
tracks also support mount 2 phases,then only need create 2 working files).
Working Step description of Long tracks mode in mounting: The long tracks sends feed signal to the front conveyor,
and feed PCB to cylinder thimble 1 position, cylinder will raise the PCB,then thimble 1 will go down,PCB feeding phase 1
is completed.After above placement is completed, the PCB in the waiting area is released, feed to cylinder thimble 2

17
position, cylinder will raise the PCB,then thimble 2 will go down,PCB feeding phase 2 is completed.After above placement
is completed, the PCB in the waiting area is released, feed to cylinder thimble 3 position, cylinder will raise the PCB,then
thimble 3 will go down,PCB feeding phase 3 is completed.
4.2 PCB Eject setting
After click “Eject”no matter under Mag fixture or Track mode,the thimble will go down in “track section 2”,track section
2 and 3 begin to work and PCB will feed to back above the sensor position. If
there’s SMT conveyor connected and release signal to pnp machine,PCB will be automatically transit into SMT conveyor.
5. Panelized PCB Edit
5.1 Panelized PCB origin (SMD1 coordinate)
Function: This is mainly to determine the first component on single or panelized PCB of manual program or imported file.
The principle is to collect and calculate the data of each board’s relative spacing, in order to achieve the calculation of the
real coordinate.

18
5.1.1 Single board:
Click “single board setting”, you will see the “align” button of the SMD1 position that means the first component on the
component setup. Click “align” to enter the vision align interface, we need find the first component that on the component
list,generally we choose the center of the component, see figure
Click “Save and back”, it will back to the previous interface, click “create panelized list” button, the data which on the
panelized list will change.Can see the “SMD1 information”on the list and do double check via “align”button.
Notice: when you program under “Manual” mode, as we cannot assume the related PCB to be absolute 90° or 0°, we need
to setting the “PCB angle” (angle deviation of PCB board compares to rails). To minimize the deviation, please select two
points in parallel positions, machine can calculate the PCB angle automatically.
When you program under the mode of import coordinate file, no need to set this step. The default angle under this mode
will be 0°

19
5.1.2 Panelized board
The steps of the panelized board programming are similar with the single board, but need pay some attention to several
points below
(1)The row and column are determined by the positioning of PCB on working area. The direction along the rails is the
column,
the direction perpendicular to the rail is row, then please enter data in the row and column.
(2)Please refer to the data collecting method of each position information as following:
●The data of “left bottom” is collected according to first component in the component list of programming file. Press
“align” of left bottom, find the left bottom panel that is nearest to the left side and nearest to the feeding position, then find
the first component which on the chip list of this panel, align the center of this component. After saving the data, it will
return to the “PCB information” automatically.
●The data of “left top”: on the alignment interface, find the left top panel that is nearest to the left side but farthest to the
feeding position, then find the component same as the component that aligned on the “left bottom”, align the center of this
component. Click save and cancel, it will return to the “PCB information” automatically.
●The data of “right top”: on the alignment interface, find the right top panel that is nearest to the right side but farthest to
the feeding position, then find the same component as the component that aligned on the “left bottom”, align the center of
this component, click save and cancel, it will return to the “PCB information” automatically.

20
After setup, click “create panelized list”, the panelized list will be generated accordingly in the blank. You can also
double-confirm each position by clicking “Align”.
5.1.3Mirror board
The steps of the Mirror board programming are similar with the Panelized board, but need pay some attention to several
points below
(1)Mirror board includes row panelized and column panelized
Row panelized: several same PCBs are arranged in horizontal direction, and the nearby rows are mirrored
Column panelized: several same PCBs are arranged in vertical direction, and the nearby columns are mirrored
(2)Panelized Board Row and Column
The row and column are determined by the positioning of PCB on working area. The direction along the rails is the column,
the direction perpendicular to the rail is row, then please enter data in the row and column.
（3）Please refer to the data collecting method of each position information as following:
After select the corresponding mirror board panelized method(column or row)and data of column&row, may occur the
situation of the align interface turn gray and can’t be edited,then no need do position align.
Based on actual mirror board data,right side is showing corresponding images and can find the first component on it.
●The data of “right top”on original board: on the alignment interface, find the right top panel that is nearest to the right side
but farthest to the feeding position, then find the first component which on the chip list of this panel, align the center of this
component, click save and cancel, it will return to the “PCB information” automatically.
●The data of “left top”on original board: on the alignment interface,find the left top panel,then find the component same as
the component that aligned on the “right top”,align the center of this component, click save and cancel, it will return to the
