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°.
