Component Tape Loading Procedure
This section describes the procedure for loading components into the feeders.
A brief description of the function of the low parts warning system is also
included.
When the tape is properly loaded, the low parts warning lights will be
extinguished on each of the low parts warning assembly, the refire assembly,
the respective LED light on the push button box on top of the sequencer
module, and the sequencer light tower.
When a low part condition is sensed, the blue light on the light tower and an
audible alarm are activated. Both the light and alarm can be deactivated
through the machine control panel. When a low part condition is sensed,
approximately 70 components remain staged at the feeder (for parts that are
taped at a 0.50 inch pitch).
To recover from a low parts sense condition, new components will have to be
spliced in to the existing tape, or a new reel loaded into the reel bin holder
assembly and threaded up through the low parts warning assembly,
component lead conditioner assembly and into the feeder.
Tools:
Splicing tape
Hand splicing tool
To load component tape, perform the following procedure.
1. Orient the end of the component tape so that the holes in the tape are
over the pins on the wheel and the component heads are off to the right.
Push the tape up through the wheel and the low parts assembly until the
end of the tape exits the upper side of the low parts assembly. As the
tape passes through the low parts warning switch the LED
extinguishes. It is not necessary to open the gate to feed parts through
the low parts warning assembly.
2. Continue to feed the tape from the low parts warning assembly up to
the component lead conditioner.
